How did you guys come up with that name?

because the game will consist of many different \"planes\" that you can \"shift\" between

I think.....seems good enough

Hmmmmmm...............


The game is called PlaneShift cause there was a shift from the surface plane to the subteranian plane of the one world. Once there was a thriving surface world but then it became an underground world. That is what is meant by a PlaneShift. Not that there are many planes that you shift through..........

To put it simple, there was a dev that is no longer with us, that was purpossly giving out false info.  If you think about it, having a world of different planes that the players would shift through, that would be hectic on the team of modelers and on programing as well... Even EQ only has a few Planes and those are all high level, high end areas to play around in.

Ohhh....First time I saw the game I though it was a flight simulation game...

A question though.

Will we always be underground or well we get to go outside into the world and explore?

And.

Will there be recall points? Ex. Go somewhere and if you like the town/place you can set your recall there so when you die you come back there.

The will be an overworld, but none will find it without a great deal of effort.

And when you die you go to hell.

I think when you die you go to a hell like place with all your items, then you have to get out without dying and you get to keep it, but if you die in hell you spawn without your stuff.

Yikes... I didnt know there was a Hell  8o . But: wouldnt High-level players find it real easy and low-levels find it real hard? or would there be a low-level hell, meduim level hell e.t.c.?

Maybe hell is what you make it.
Like for me well it would be seeing Cyo constantly.

*vomits from the thought*
* gives Cyo a paper bag*




On a serious note maybe hell should be hard for everyone, getting harder as you get more experienced so when you fight a monster there it will be on your for lack of a better word \"level\"

I don\'t know if \"hell\" (aka the death plane) will involve too many monsters, because nothing will happen if you lose, and you have no items.

I bet \"hell\" will consist of something like little Sokoban puzzles. :D

well, if you actually read/watch the introduction it says that the world has been shifted due to earthquakes.. Thus the world consists of plates which have shifted and therefore you have the world created by the Devs
