Welcome!
I am a Firefall person as well.
I am in USA, but I often am on games late when Australian folks are about - I see tons of you guys in Zwift often when I ride.
I think Genom can be great. The developers are responsive and very creative. It reminds me of the dawn of Firefall when it was just shaping up in that respect.
I hope we'll see the same Open World Encounters that made (makes) Firefall Open World so good.
I already in this early Alpha have a good feeling as the 'quest lines' and the outlay of the Ark and the NPE right from the start begin to tell a story better than FF does in its NPE and are all in the Open World (no instances).
There is a whole new character system they are working on which looks great. The promo video showed what looked like thumpers, gliders, there are lots of vehicles all over...
It is visually going to be utterly different than Firefall (which I love for its artistic environment and effects like the Melding etc.), but Genom hopefully will have all and more of the good stuff Firefall once had before the morphing into the more bland and generic MMO it is today.
There will be more of the FF folks on the way now (sadly).
