Title: Few Questions
Post by: Gouki1982 on October 01, 2004, 04:26:57 pm

Hi I\'m new and I want to play this game but first I would like to know some things.
First of all I was wondering if the game is complete?
Second is it tru that u don\'t have to pay for play monthly or is there a catch?
And do I have to download all those parts or just one of em?

GREETZ,

Gouki1982

Greets Gouki,

All of your questions are extremely common and have been answered a million times before. With a few minutes of searching, you could have found out the information yourself. That said, I\'ll give you the answers, but next time try to use your head. :)


1. The game is currently in its pre-alpha stages of development. Alpha is pre-Beta. So in other words, it\'s still very young.

2. There is no catch. PlaneShift is free and open-source. The development team are volunteers who are not paid for the job and spend all of their free time on this project. The server and hosting needed for a MMORPG of this scale is kindly donated by the Fragnetics team. (http://www.fragnetics.com) Thus no fees are asked of us players, nor will there ever be.

3. Read the download instructions. It says to download all 5 parts plus the reassembler. Put them all in the same folder. Run the .bat file. Then run the new file that is created. Then install the game.


Now I can already see a horde of angry posters coming to flame you for asking silly questions, so I\'m gonna duck and hide for cover. ;) Good luck.

Well personally, I can think of things I\'d rather be doing than pandering to lazy people, but when I\'m not in a bad mood, the urge to be kind and helpful overwhelms me. ;) But just as a common courtesy, please make use of the (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/images/ps/top_suche.gif) (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/search.php?boardid=1) button. :)
