Ok, thank you.

Post by: Karyuu on November 26, 2005, 07:48:49 pm: Sometimes the server restarts automatically after a crash, and sometimes it needs a manual restart. Once it\'s down, it\'s purely a waiting game :) Hang in there, and keep checking laanx.fragnetics.com (http://laanx.fragnetics.com/) for any changes.

Post by: Arcanacat on November 26, 2005, 07:49:44 pm: Alright, but patience ain\'t my strongest side. What if i did a recovery update?

Post by: Karyuu on November 26, 2005, 07:50:34 pm: That wouldn\'t change anything about the server :) A server admin takes care of it.

Post by: Arcanacat on November 26, 2005, 07:51:14 pm: Can u tell the admin then? Itlooks like he/she hasn\'t noticed, and i don\'t wana contact him/her

Post by: Karyuu on November 26, 2005, 07:54:04 pm: It doesn\'t really work that way. PlaneShift is a hobby for the development team members - they do this in their spare time - so not everyone is available at every moment. You will just have to wait until someone gets to it.

WOOT? Ain\'t the server supposed to be ready for maintenance 24/7? Conqueronline is that!

EDIT: Was the said right?

Post by: Karyuu on November 26, 2005, 07:58:28 pm: I\'ve no idea about Conquer Online, but PlaneShift is a pre-alpha tech demo and thus tends to be quite buggy. There are no guarantees about stability ;)

Alright, CO is a free 3D mmorpg that\'s really great, but planeshift is actually quite good. I\'m considering switching to PS too.

BTW: Nice avatar u got there. Looks like my cat yawning! So cute...

i actually ment the entire thread, if she (arcanacat) had take 2 seconds to use the serch function she would have seen that there are about 12 dozen similar threads alredy on the forums, had she taken a further 5 min to read said threads she would not have learned anything less than has been posted here, infact she would probably have learned a good deal more

the entire thread is just a waste of space, cluttering up an already busy forum.

Please Delete it

The Downloads (http://www.planeshift.it/download.html) section on the main PlaneShift website offers instructions for creating an account:

Quote
To play PlaneShift you have to download one of the files below depending on your platform, and then register a new account (http://laanx.fragnetics.com/register/).

After filling in and submitting the registration form, you will receive an email with a link to the activation page. If there is a problem with account activation, check these (http://planeshift.oodlz.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=12002&boardid=17&styleid=4) two (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=19502&boardid=17&styleid=4) threads. When activation is complete, start the game, type your email address in the \"username\" field, type your password in \"password\" field, and click \"Login.? You will then be brought to character selection screen, and since you are new player, you will have to create a new character (simply click on the first empty slot).

Before loading the world however, make sure that you have updated both the game client and your graphics card drivers. The PlaneShift updater utility can be found in your main PS directory, and Start->Programs->Planeshift Crystal Blue->Planeshift Updater if you?re on Windows. While waiting for the updater to finish its work, I would suggest you read the Player Guide (http://www.planeshift.it/guide/en/index.html), and browse through a few stickies found in the various forum sections. Some of the most useful stickies include:
