FOM was around for a while but recently (7/11) got a face-lift.
Even FTP players get a tutorial and 10k in credit to start,but you'll soon find your getting hunted like a massive FPS with your loot as the prize. I hope the new company realizes that this is what killed it before, and start making things better for more types of players.
To be honest the patches I saw and information I read on their site says a new company has bought it or has made some type of arrangement to run it, I hope they have better people than what the original company had. They have a nice piece of real-estate, as far as looks goes, if they just add some safe zones for players that don't want to be a living target, and let them do their work in peace, then the players and economy of FOM will make a serious recovery. If not...oh well.
