Mac OSX Specific Issues / Fund Raiser for a Mac
« on: May 24, 2016, 02:17:42 am »
I have heard that the developers do not have a Mac to do testing on.

Why don't we do a fund raiser so they can buy a new tricked-out Mac Mini from Apple?

If we all contribute just a little bit, they could have a shiny new Mac to play on!

Woot!  \\o//

What say you?

Newbie Help (Start Here) / Name taken?!?
« on: May 24, 2016, 01:56:53 am »
As you can see, the forum name I use is Ariel Arilon.

So when I created my first character I was going to use the same name.

When I typed in the first name, it said it was already taken.

"No problem," I thought, "Ariel is a fairly common name, but the last name 'Arilon' I am sure won't be since it is from an obscure game, defunct now for some 6 or 7 years, and holds a special place in my heart."

I typed in "Arilon" for the last name.

"Name Taken"

What?!? How?

Could it be that when I registered for a forums account, that name became a "taken" name on the game server?

Or did someone use actually use 'Ariel Arilon' some time ago?

I honestly don't know how all this stuff works. I just poke at my keyboard until something breaks. ^_^

thy humble servant,  Ariel

General Discussion / Would it offend the RP community?
« on: May 22, 2016, 02:12:26 pm »
Unto the most noble and upright RP community, Ariel of Arilon sends thee greetings,

Tis a question I would ask all of thee. There is no right or wrong answer, and I wouldst take into consul and carefully consider every reply.

The question is this:

I know PlaneShift is not Middle Earth and it would not be right or proper to impose that lore here. But would you find it offensive if I created an elf character and used a bit of the elven language (Sindarin)?

Limited use of the language helps me immerse in character and adds a bit of high fantasy to the environment.

But I wished to ask the community first.

All comments are welcome. This is, after all, your world and I wouldst wish not to disrupt it.

What say you?


thy humble servant,

Ariel

Technical Help: Problems BEFORE entering the game / Main web page and Registration page difficulties
« on: May 21, 2016, 03:47:57 pm »
Unto the Lords and Ladies of PlaneShift, Ariel of Arilon sends thee warmest Greetings,

I have several questions for thy consideration.

1.  I managed to register for the Forums through sheer luck. Must I also create another account for the game, or will this do?

2. Main page problem: Under the "Download Now" graphic, there is a list:
Main
Community
Story
Support
Development
Pic of the Day!

Clicking on any of these does nothing (Javascript is enabled). Does this require Flash to make them work?

3.  Registration page:  The 2 words that are needed to be input do not appear, and "...press the button with two cycling arrows below" there is no button with two cycling arrows. Is this a Flash-driven script as well?

4. The biggest difficulty I had was that -nowhere- on the Main page or Registration page could I find a "Contact Us" link to seek assistance. A Contact Us that would open an email would be helpful for those (like myself) who are both interested in PlaneShift yet are having problems with registering a new account or downloading the game.

I thank thee in advance for thy sage advise and wisdom.

thy humble servant,

Ariel  ^_^
