I'm considering getting it, Myself. I'm still looking into getting the game

It is a pretty fun game for being in the beta, they are making good progress so hopefully it won't be stuck in the early access jungle like alot of other games. They do reset your progress and inventory with every major update though, so about every other month or so you have to start over, so that can be a bit annoying.

I usually play it every now and then but I'm sort of waiting for the full release so I can start building my character for real. Still, if you do decide to get it we could try it sometime for sure.

Do you know how far it is from release? according to them, I mean. It looks a little like a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. MMO

I have no idea actually. But I think they have said somewhere that they are aiming for the beta to be over by the first quarter of 2018. So the game should ideally be ready to launch within 3-5 months at most I'd guess.

And it is a bit like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with some DayZ thrown in now that you mention it.
