No not atm and possibly some type of similar animal in the future will be avilable. We only know that winged animals are definatly planned.

Both land and air mounts are planned, it\'s just that air mounts will require a skill to ride, while land mounts will not.  This is from the PS player guide:

Quote

Riding land based is relatively simple and we will not add this as a primary skill. However riding winged creature is very hard and can be dangerous if you are not careful. Being able to ride a winged creature like a pterosaur, will allow to travel quickly from one part of the city to another, even from level to level. With an high rank of this skill you will be able to use a winged creature also for fights. The type of creature you can ride also depends on the skill rank.

Another question:Will the NPC robbing thief ever be implemented?

Most likely :)  

Here is another blurb from the PS player guide about the pickpocket skill:

Quote

With this skill the character can steal objects or money from the pockets or backpack of another creature without being discovered. At the same time, knowing better how to steal, will give also more knowledge on how to prevent stealing.

And if you are interested a link to the PS player guide is here (http://www.planeshift.it/playerguide.html).

Thank you. Gonna try this game out looks very promising but it\'s taking a while to initialize world though :(

That\'s normal, if you ever have any problems or questions you think may have been asked or encountered before try checking the stickies (topics at the top of forums that don\'t move down) or using the search function.  In this case your problem is answered in the technical help FAQ stickie (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=1786&boardid=17&styleid=3&sid=928ea5ddf4bfa3c4b230e785f45ce876).

I\'ve no idea if any of this will help, but some of it could:
1. run the updater
2. open pssetup
3. make sure it is on opengl and not software rendering (assuming you have a video card)
4. reduce the screen resolution
5. reduce the color depth
6. see if there is a difference between full screen and windowed mode, one of the two may run faster

Title:
Post by: Magerranger on October 09, 2004, 11:15:35 pm

windowed is faster.

Also camera mode seems to help me when im suffering low fps i just cycle camera modes to find the fastest in the direction your facing. (relative to how much each direction makes my computer draw)

[EDIT]
Newbie tip:

Pressing \'M\' will cylce camera views

Hi!
Ich bin total anfanger,und ich habe Frage!

Server: ???? Was ist das? Default:loacalhost
Login: Hier ist meine nick? und ich habe kein registrated nick!
Password: - II - ??

Bitte hier im Forum beim Englischen bleiben, ok? ;)

On first startup you will have to create a new character for you. Click on \"new character\" and choose quick creation, since the stats and skills are not implemented yet and taking too long will propably result in a linkdead while uploading and a damaged char.

When you are through you will be asked for a name for your char and a password. The fields \"new\" and \"confirm\" are your password, they have to be identical. Click \"upload\" and you are ready to go ;)

On next startup choose \"connect\" and enter your name and password again. Have fun with PS :)

PS: server is planeshift.fragnetics.com

I am totally more anfanger, and I have question!  I click connect and which is the servers name?  Server:    What is that?  Default:loacalhost Login:  Here is my nod?  and I do not have registrated nod!  Password:  - II -??  Please, write here:  cranky.f@freemail.hu and my question answers!  Thanks!

OK, so maby google translations aren\'t perfect, but it\'s not bad.

The server name you should use is planeshift.fragnetics.com or you can use the ip address - 203.81.47.74   The ip address is more likely to work.  For a registration name and password you need to make a character.  Create your character (you will also create a password) and then use those to log in.

Der Bedienername, den Sie verwenden sollten, ist planeshift.fragnetics.com, oder Sie k?nnen das IP address verwenden - 203,81,47,74 das IP address ist wahrscheinlicher zu arbeiten.  F?r einen Ausrichtungsnamen und -kennwort m?ssen Sie einen Buchstaben bilden.  Verursachen Sie Ihren Buchstaben (Sie verursachen auch ein Kennwort) und verwenden Sie dann die, um innen zu loggen.

*hopes Cranky can understand the google translation :P

doh, looks like Karosh_Steinkatz beat me to it

Cranky, Zuerst Schritt: Als Planeshift geladen hat, klicken Sie \'Create\'
Der zweite Schritt: W?hlen Sie Ihren Charakter und nick.
Schritt drei: Klicken Sie \'Quick Create\' und w?hlen eine Klasse.

Nachdem das getan wird, Server: planeshift.fragnetics.com

Entschuldigen Sie bitte meine Deutsch.

OMG, I hate google translations and such :P
Even I have troubles (as a native german speaker) to understand that stuff *lol*

Correct german:

Als Server musst du planeshift.fragnetics.com eingeben, oder die IP-Addresse: 203.81.47.74. Den Namen und dein gew?nschtes Passwort kannst du nach der Charaktergenerierung eingeben (bei \"New\" und \"Confirm\" jeweils das gleiche Passwort nat?rlich;)). Aber achte darauf, dass du die \"Quick Char Creation\" benutzt, da die Skills und Stats noch nicht verf?gbar sind und wenn du zu lange brauchst, es beim Hochladen deines Charakters zum \"Linkdead\" f?hren kann, was in einem kaputten Char resultieren kann. Beim n?chsten Einloggen dann auf \"Connect\" klicken und Naame und Passwort eingeben. Viel Spass mit PlaneShift! :)

edit: argh, this time was Joey faster :P
