General Discussion / Re: So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

Rinha, I can understand your frustration, but Mishka made it quite clear that RL is more important to her right now. Which is as it should be.
There will be other guild houses, other auctions. Your time will come.

Peace, Gonger

The Hydlaa Plaza / Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everybody!

May your most important wishes come true. And the less important ones in the years to come.  ;)

Personal wish list (for PlaneShift):
1) More RP.
2) More RP.
3) More ... well, you can guess now!  ;D

Travel safely through the year,

Gonger

Well, it is not just about visiting all cities: In every city there is one specific spot you have to visit. You will get a message and some PPs, so you will know when you found it. Once you visited all four spots, the achievement should appear.

Mac OSX Specific Issues / Re: Problem with updating in pslaunch
« on: December 27, 2012, 06:15:44 pm »
Hi, Sarva meant "pslaunch.app", a small typo. So nothing new to install. There is also no need to install anything for IRC: Follow my link, then under 1) click the link on the word "here". Or follow this link right away: http://webchat.freenode.net/
I guess I should have included that one right away...  :whistling:
This IRC is browser-based, and always worked fine for me (on a windoze machine).
And, of course, the game IS worth all the trouble! And as you can see, we try to take care of newbies. :lol:

Good luck,

Gonger

Hello again PerchMan72,

Sorry to hear you still have problems. The one you mention does not ring a bell with me, but as I said before, I am not a Mac user. Try the IRC: Go to http://www.planeshift.it/irc.html and follow the instructions under 1). Once connected, type a message to those who are already there so they see you arrive. No worries, it is half as complicated as it may sound.

Good luck, and see you soon.

Hello Kieron,

Sometimes there is a small server problem, and normally it is enough to wait a bit and try again. Right now, everything looks ok (there are some numbers instead of the "failed" message), and you should be able to connect.

Connect, create a character, do the tutorial, and ask questions whenever you have problems. We even have a Help channel.

See you soon,

Gonger

Hello PerchMan72,

I cannot really help you with the Mac, but try the IRC - there is almost always somebody on. Instructions on the PS website.

Good luck, and see you soon in PlaneShift.

The Hydlaa Plaza / English... as some people speak it!
« on: December 25, 2012, 04:10:50 pm »
Hi all!
I got these from a teacher of English as a Foreign Language. Not thinking about anyone specific, of course. Even native speakers mix some of these, as you can witness in emails, news groups, and PlaneShift. Just read and laugh! And please excuse the f*cking language! :innocent:

1. they're   - they f*cking are
2. their     - shows f*cking possession
3. there     - specifies a f*cking location
4. you're    - you f*cking are
5. your      - shows f*cking possession
6. it's      - it f*cking is
7. its       - shows f*cking possession
8. we're     - we f*cking are
9. were      - past f*cking tense of "are"
10. where    - specifies a f*cking location
11. loose    - not f*cking fixed in place
12. lose     - cease to f*cking keep
13. affect   - a f*cking action
14. effect   - a f*cking result
15. could've - could f*cking have
16. could of - you're (see 4) a f*cking retard

Greetings, Mishka!

It seems like you are heading into the right direction, and I might be in a better situation to say so than most, for many years ago I was in a similar situation, and reacted to it in a similar way.

I came out stronger, and maybe even a bit wiser. Yes, yes!  ;D

So I hope for you, too, things will improve.

Take care, Mishka. And do come back from time to time, at least with your main character. Gonger did not always agree with you (speaking in defense of that murderer Ikon was... strange to hear!), but in a time where some people are turning PlaneShift into a PowerLevel-WewantaGuildandnothingelse-kindergarten, good RPers like you are needed more than ever.

Good luck for you. Travel safely.

General Discussion / Re: Where are the RPers? Or is it only my problem?
« on: June 21, 2012, 04:10:10 pm »
Hello,

I do not always listen to the chat channel, but I always try to behave in a RP-like, for example in the way I speak to others. This has often led to spontaneous and very nice RP. If everybody tries to create the right atmosphere, much RP has been achieved without people having to ask for it.

Travel safely.

At this point there is the help channel already. The problem with that is that there aren't many advisers on the channel. I have my client set to auto request being an adviser. Maybe just throw a tip in the loading screens that says "We need more advisers in help!" would help.

Great idea, I will do this, too. Even though PlaneShift still holds many secrets to me, I can certainly assist new players (and am already doing this whenever I meet one).

General Discussion / Re: How to attract new players... ideas, opinions, actions!
« on: April 11, 2012, 04:37:14 pm »
Hello,

Thanks to all who contributed to this topic. But still, some more proposals for actions would be appreciated.
Here is one more example: Everybody who is at Facebook should "Like" the official PlaneShift page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/PlaneShift/120037538009535.) This is easily done, and maybe some of your friends will see this and become interested in Planeshift.
Please share similar ideas for other social network sites.

Trave safely!

General Discussion / How to attract new players... ideas, opinions, actions!

Hello, I hope this is the right place for this topic.
Well, subject says it all - most people will agree that PlaneShift needs more players, so let us discuss what we can do.
I will start with something I just did... At work, I am helping out in a team that replaces a PC pool for a client, and the old machines will be cleaned, reinstalled with WXP, and given to the people there. While adding a few freeware tools and programs, we decided to install also a few freeware games...
You guessed it, I added a full installation of PlaneShift! It is running perhaps a bit slowly, but it IS running. So about 20 PCs will go out, and I am certain quite a few people will try all the games installed. With some luck, some will like PS enough to stay.
I am also trying to convince some of my role-playing (Facebook) friends of PlaneShift, but apparently I need to try harder.

What are you doing to promote PlaneShift? Share with us! I will buy you a beer as a reward! Or give you some free ores, if you don't want to get drunk!
