Really thought it was the end when Game Networks dropped NeoSteam without a trace, and couldn't believe it when I heard that ATLUS, of all publishers, was taking it up. Atlus is probably most famous for their Shin Megami Tensei series, which is extremely popular in Japan and amongst j-rpg fans of the states. Atlus brings the same quality to NeoSteam with a completely reworked localization and more lenient leveling curve. They've hosted many pre-launch contests (Including a raffle for a hand-made costume piece of a pair of goggles from the game) and the administrators actually talk to the players on the forums which helps keep players hopeful and enthusiastic for launch.

The servers will be up in about 6 hours from now, and I'll be hopping on maybe 3 hours after that. I play ELERD NATION, Reinhardt_Tatzenvier for anyone else who wants to play with me o_-
