I doubt many here will remember me, I played Planeshift for over 2 years through the Crystal Blue era under names such as Gharan, Gharin and Vigel. I left PS now over two years ago and haven't even checked to see how PS has evolved. Is the PvP still as awful as when they changed it and you had to face opponent? Any new towns added? Any more history added behind the Planeshift story that I should be aware of before RP'ing? How's the crafting coming along?

I'm back to try out PS once again, I've just installed and will be playing again regular once I'm off my holidays in two weeks. It's been 2 years and my RP is going to be rusty, but it was never that good in the first place. Let's see if I can do better this time. I'm hoping this game still 99% revolves around the RP, It's what kept me here so long.

Good to be back

So, I was scrolling through the guilds forum for my old posts and the only one I could find was Wrath of Azure which was from when I first joined PS.

What happened to the Dermorian Lords thread? Seems it's been deleted. May I even ask why, as It seems to be the only one that has been deleted.

After deleting a few characters and starting again I came across a problem. Within a day both my names Gharin and Vigel had been taken and used to either try and gain items or generally harass other players while using my name. I even have a log of the guy admitting taking them, not just my names either. Logs are useless I know that but something needs to be done about this.

This problem extends to more than character names, recently a new form of my guild Dermorian Lords has popped up and the guild goals are very similar if not identical to the ones my guild had. This guild was eventually disbanded after discussion for it being against the settings so mirroring this guild is probably not the best idea.

Would it not be possible to put all "used" character and guild names on a list were they couldn't be used again.

I know of this happening to many people, not just myself.

Greetings, My name is Kellod Mesecki. I'm a merchant for my guild "The Enlightened" and when i'm not auctioning my items I am out collecting them to be auctioned. Being a merchant is all I know and I am proud to say I am good at it.

Okay well that's my introduction out the way, now onto business!!!

I'm proud to announce there will be a mass auction event held in the Bronze Door Fortress area. This event will take place on Saturday the 24th and auctioning will commence at 19:30 GMT.

There are already many items entered to this auction and we still seek people willing to enter there items. The more items we receive the better we can promise the auction to be. As with all auctions though there are a few rules and they are as follows.

1: All items must be entered to auction before the given date.
2: 20% will be taken from the sale of your item to pay the auctioneers.
3: You may enter an infinite number of items if you wish.
4: We accept any item.
5: 80% of the tria from your item will be returned to you.
6: If your item is not sold you get the choice of it's return or can enter it to the next auction.

Your auctioneers for the evening will be Kellod Mesecki and Donari Tyndale and any items you wish to enter to auction must be given to either auctioneer.

Note: We also seek guards to ensure safety of all items.

Question for Game Masters:

Could a GM maybe shed some light on auction rules? I found a thread from last July when players were muted for bidding in the auction channel. Does this rule still stand? If so we will make people aware before it starts that bids must be done in main.

As we all know Harnquist is probably the first person you should see for a quest and many new people choose to ask him first. With the current NPC problems there's not much left to do but quest or mine (and of course RP )

Yesterday I spoke to a new player who was very interested in PS but was very frustrated, he couldn't go and fight for PP and he knew this and it didn't bother him, instead he was asking what else he should do. I mentioned questing and mining, he then proceeded to tell me he had no mining skill. I told him to ask Harnquist for a quest to help him but it only hindered him as the quest he was given required skill in Metallurgy. I told him to discard and take on another quest and he was given another quest which required skill. I done the only thing left I could think of and gave him the knowledge of how to create a char that would be born with mining skill. He did and he was finally able to do something.

The point i'm trying to make is that if at least Harnquist's quest were in order he may of been able to finish a few simple quests and gain the PP to train his mining, From what I remember he has quite a few simple tasks.

Since I started playing i've seen many fights on the Plaza and even have done it myself. Hydlaa is suppose to be peaceful and even weapons drawn should be frowned upon. It got me thinking what would stop people fighting there. You could remove PvP from there and no-one could fight but I had a different idea. I'm not sure if it's the best of ideas but i'll throw it out there anyway.

The first idea would be that if i was challenged and accepted then the inventory of both characters would automatically be emptied on the floor but then you'd get people challenging noobs for there stuff so I had a better idea.

If you weer to commit a murder in Hydlaa you would be a known murderer and people would be able to see that you were, if you weer to leave Hydlaa people could attack you instantly without challenge and if they win certain items if not all would be dropped on the floor for all to pick up.

It's still a new idea and needs work but it would add interest to the game and stop fighting were it's not wanted.

[sorry if this or something close to it has already been posted.]

I've read the history of the gods and many races in Yliakum but I fail to find information on settings no matter how hard I look, maybe i'm just looking with my eyes shut  

Can someone point my in the right direction for such information, It would be appreciated and would help me in any future RP, Thanks in advance
