AfterWorld Alpha 8

Hey all GGers!
While the snapshot is pending for approval, I thought it could be nice to show you what we have already :)
AfterWorld
jumps to the next stage of it's development
The public Alpha 8 is out. Registration is free and open for everyone who wanna see what our AfterWorld is.
Some tech-related information:
At the beginning we started working with TGE1.3, then upgraded to TGE1.4.2/TLK. After the release of TGE1.5 we merged only parts of it into our project, together with manual merge of cores of ArcaneFX and T2D with lots of customization and changes.
Want to say huge thanks to the community for resources, helped us a lot in development.
Our project - AfterWorld is MMOG, to be a 3D post-apocalyptic-style world (not a nuclear war!) with elements of FPS and RPG merged together to offer a unique gameplay.
The "core" of the economy is manufacturing (crafting) of items. All in-game items made only by players. The regional-based economy we are working on allows us to make really interesting game with a lot of potential for future possible expansions.
On release it is planned to implement a RCE (Real Cash Economy) in game.
Having a strong player-base and good community pushes us to work more and more, implementing step-by-step all our ideas and functionality.

Very good work here Bank. 8-)
I just wandered into the game for a few minutes. I love it.
I noticed a few key mapping problems, mainly, despite there is a warning telling me previous key would be unmapped, the new mapping is not preformed. 8-/
