Gimme The Deets Follow

Ok I'm confused,

I get so far that this is going to be an action MMO, not a "press 1-9 to activate abilities" game but I have some questions.

1. release date?

2. How many people have played it and when will I be able to apply for beta testing?

3. The graphics look amazing, will I have to have a crazy intense pc to play it?

4. Politics? Heard something about in-game politics where a player can become the like "King" of a server? What is that all about?

ok I think that is all I wanted to ask =]
