Technical Help: IN GAME bugs (after loading world) / Re: I lost connection and now Im stuck.(INGAME)
« on: August 18, 2009, 05:20:34 am »
This is a known issue.
The solution is to ask in the HELP channel, make a petition if no reply is given or join IRC #planeshift-gmtalk like Xillix said.
Actually, Xargon remembers all the quest steps that you did, but the standard greeting is to request for the three items. You should be able to continue right where you left off, if you remember. If not, check your chat log (search for something like YourCharacterName_chat.txt)

Wish list / Re: A set of ideas for balancing
« on: June 02, 2009, 04:30:24 am »
Your ideas are quite interesting. Instead of the tweaking the napkin math as you call it, perhaps you could chat with a few folks from the game Rules department and see what they're doing and how they're testing things. Maybe even apply to it. If you are more technically inclined and can compile the server, you can even test your ideas and see how they work.

The Hydlaa Plaza / Re: Community Check...
« on: June 02, 2009, 04:14:18 am »
I'm still here, but I don't think Phinehas and I met in game too much.
The community is a bit more vocal than what it used to be in the past, but the voices are more on the forums and less in the game. Everybody has an opinion, very few get involved to make things happen.
RP wise the game is indeed a bit poorer than what it used to be, but folks still enjoy it very much and I saw some very nice initiatives recently. People are making use of game features a lot more than in the past (I think), which is good. I only hope they don't forget to incorporate some RP in it from time to time, to make it a bit more spicy.
There's also a non-RP server now, kind of less populated, which I find quite surprising, but anyway. It's good that it's there and I believe it will grow in time.
Development wise, whoaaaa! Major things have happened since I first started and I'm amazed how well the engine has improved. Reading the history never ceases to amaze me. A lot of new content and quests and crafting opportunities are in, not to mention code changes.
I've seen the rise and fall of the community... about 3 or 4 times already both on the forums and in the game so I can definitely say it is cyclic. Those who fear PS is dying, tough luck. If everyone who thought that was right, then PS must be one hell of a necromancer. Always comes back. Always.

General Discussion / Re: [When do you speak OOC?]
« on: April 07, 2009, 06:38:44 am »
All of a sudden, the idea of having an OOC chat tab and IC chat tab doesn't sound so bad to me anymore.

I am still around, although not as much as I'd like to...
This was very beautiful initiative and it still has potential, if nurtured. I'll discuss with Easton & Silavur and get back to you with news, be they good or bad.
Sorry for the late reply.

Wish list / Re: Roleplay, Leveling, and Questing
« on: July 29, 2008, 07:49:13 am »QuoteFor example, a certain NPC has a rare sickness. Instead of every individual character curing it we all fail, still getting a reward for trying. You could even spawn GM events and things like that, taking the NPC's problem and making that final epic quest to cure the NPC. it would make the world seem more as if it were always changing.This is exactly the sort of stuff I'd love to see.
And in the same note I'd like to see Toda and Merrinez married in an event and that quest dropped. Some things just need closure, you know?

The Hydlaa Plaza / Oldest posts
« on: July 28, 2008, 01:28:15 pm »
I was doing some detective work today and I think I found the oldest (public) post on the boards. Whoaaaa!
I think it's worth mentioning the PS boards are older than this but they were hosted somewhere else before. So this is the rebirth I'd say. January 4th, 2002

Fan Art / Re: Planeshift on iPhone 3G
« on: July 25, 2008, 02:13:13 am »
Dudes and dudettes...
I believe our lil mage here is referring to something else. He/she is running Planeshift on a real PC/Mac, and uses a remote desktop connection program (like VNC) to connect to it and play. I tried that too some time ago, but not with an iPhone. And yes, the refresh rate sucks so it's not very playable.
