Howdy, and welcome!

Here are some answers:

1: It is still a beta, despite having been around for some time (see answer #3). PlaneShift 3D has been around for a few years, and it was 2D before that (there\'s a thread that discusses that somewhere).

2: The server crashes on occasion, but you can count on being able to play most every day.

3: Check out http://www.planeshift.it for quite a lot of info - PS history, players\' guide, etc.

4: Sorry, I don\'t know about the server\'s age.

Have fun!

Greetings, and welcome to PlaneShift! :)

1. PS has been in 3D development for about 5 years now. It is a pre-alpha, version 0.3.012.
2. The server experiences crashes every now and then, but usually resumes on the same day, and the crashes are not frequent enough to make playing unbearable.
3. The best site with a lot of information is the main site, though the forums work too.
4. There is only one server currently, Laanx (hosted by Fragnetics), but more will be added when the world expands enough to need it. All servers will connect to the same world, so all players will play with each other - there will be no separation.

With new bugs come new systems to fix new bugs and...well...you can see how this kinda goes in a circle...

Welcome back to Sekhemet\'s Lessons in Spelling, Vocabulary, and other Nifty Things You Should Know! (the SLSVNTYSK for short...ish.)

This is a short one, kids. I would just like to take this opportunity to point out a small error between the title of this thread and the first post.

The word couple is defined as \"Two items of the same kind; a pair\". It should be used when describing *two* objects of the same nature, much like the way the word \"pair\" is used (aside from it\'s usage when describing underpants. This would be one of our \"rulebreakers\").

To make this title more grammatically sound, it should read \"A Few Questions\" as the word few denotes a small group of more than two objects of the same nature.

This concludes our lesson, you are all dismissed. And would Mr. Hansley please visit the front office to pick up his lunch.
