Come one, come all! Be the first on your block to see the PlaneShift Google Tech Talk!
Center ring, we have our esteemed ringmaster, Vengeance (Keith Fulton), who has tamed more than a lion's share of code with nothing more than a chair, a whip, and a USB keyboard! Listen to him as he guides you through the other rings of danger and intrigue!

Yes, look into the toothed maw of NPCClient!



Learn the unknown mystery of the alluring Proximity Lists!


For a short time only, see the AMAZING Bearded Dwarf!


See how it is all done under the tent of one, single Server!


If that is not enough to have you panting and drooling already, go backstage to see how quests are really made!


So, grab your friends, kids, dogs, cats, and hamsters, and get online now to see the
PlaneShift Google Tech Talk!

Wow.... 59 Min long! Quite possibly the longest youtube video I ever watched..... But well worth it.

I second that!

I learned a great deal from Keith's youtube broadcast! This would be a great link to post in those "WTF is taking so long?" or "Why isn't this implimented?" or "This game is so frustrating!" threads. Perhaps it will help those new to the game understand the time, resources and work that goes into this game with the little staff PlaneShift has. Nice work Keith and Andrew! My thanks again to UTM for posting, otherwise I might never have seen this youtube broadcast. :)

It seems like this might be a way to pull in more volunteers. I wish the video (at the beginning, around minute 10, I haven't watched the whole thing yet) had explained what the game really was a bit more. It seemed to be based off of someone's imagination instead of what the real "problem" or "evil force" was.

Oh Noes! You've been spotted Vengeance. Quick run that way while I show Caarrie a shiny and distract her from sentencing you to no life and the only fun you can have is finding joy in finally fixing some stubborn old bugs!

From a top-down level, that was a really interesting discussion of the structure of the server(s) and the project.
