Yes, indeed, I will shutdown the Crystalspace based PlaneShift server this weekend.
To allow for one more last event and one more last market, I will do it either late Sunday or early Monday.
So you will have (almost) a complete weekend to record a memorial video, visit places you remember fondly of and:
Come on, let us say goodbye together, attend to the event, attend to one last market!
It had to be done at some time. Also I look forward to care for just one instead of two PlaneShift servers, operating system wise.
I will miss Crystalspace based PlaneShift as well, however I also look forward to create new memories in PSUnreal. Very much so! I still hope performance of the client will increase again after it dropped by switching to Unreal 5, but I greatly enjoy the vastness of Yliakum in PSUnreal and the much better graphics. What new places are waiting for us to explore them? What new secrets are hidden in new and old dungeons? What stories are still to be told? Possibilities are endless!
PSUnreal is not free of bugs and not free of new bugs that weren't in Crystalspace based PS. However it has gone a long way and I really enjoy the events of our GM Uadjet there.
Thank you very much to Talad and all of the other developers and testers of PlaneShift Unreal. It is an almost insanely immense effort that went into PSUnreal, especially from Talad!
I do look forward to also see all of those players who do not yet have the hardware to play PSUnreal. Come on, get yourself some new or new used gear and be sure that we, who already play on PSUnreal, will welcome you again! And if someone really cannot afford a new machine, I am sure we can find a solution.
