they did shut down the game, a while after it got Out Of Beta, and was P2P.
Then for some time there was no progress or reports what so ever about the game.
later an e-mail by the Duplex Systems Programmers announced a new project that will revive FOM and add new things - and the progress had been shown in a newsletters they published in several MMO sites.
after some time, Duplex Systems announced a new and revolutionary MMO (that I cant remember it's name) with a lot of info on the game systems.
recently, for some reason they stopped the work on the new MMO (or did they?) and posted a teaser picture of "Face of Mankind Coming soon".
Yes and FoM isn't ready for the gaming world IMHO. Only to a select few as has been proven by the "OnRPG Noobs" era. Other than that i hope everyone will have a great time, as the game needs a large community for more things to get developed and new ideas to be implemented
