I can answer it quickly:
If you are looking for a strong roleplay experience, Yes. The only MMORPG I played for more than 1-3 weeks was Planeshift because of it.
Unlike WoW and other MMOPLGs(Massively Multiplayer Powerlevelling Games), there are lots of opportunities to roleplay and involve in several interesting events, guilds and such. However...
If you are looking for a strong gameplay experience, no. And this is valid for all mainstream MMO(RP?)Gs as well, in my opinion.
Killing thousands of rats/rogues/trepors... to score a level up, relying on pure luck to win a duel in PvP, swapping ores among containers to make stocks, pressing things repeatedly to craft weapons or remaining hours and hours pressing a shortcut to dig gold or another ore isn't what I would call a thrilling and fun experience, even though most MMOGs have the same "strong" gameplay basis as well, something I call: treadmilling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grind_%28gaming%29), as it's boring as hell for me.

A few points that i can make are as follows. I have been all over the internet looking for other like "free" MMORPG's and it's sort and what i can say is that none of them come close to what you will get with P.S. The enviornment is incredible, the people that you will meet in guilds and simple RP'ing {role playing} are great and the number of options for work {i.e. skills and crafts etc..} Blow the competition out of the water hands down. Is it worth the wait. In my oppinion too many people i have seen ripping at the devs etc for the inconvienience of...that's right...playing there game. They are all kind enough to dedicate all there spare time to giving us an incredible product and continue to give us update apon update to make the Game better, more realistic and continue to make it better. Some or most games i've seen out there only last a few months for the creators move on and dump the project. This game seems to be different. Much better. Seems the designers and developers really care about "there baby" so to speak. So if you're looking for the best out there. You found it!! just be patient in my oppinion it will be well worth the wait. Cheers.
