Title: An old face returns.
Post by: Gharan on May 25, 2009, 01:16:15 am: I doubt many here will remember me, I played Planeshift for over 2 years through the Crystal Blue era under names such as Gharan, Gharin and Vigel. I left PS now over two years ago and haven't even checked to see how PS has evolved. Is the PvP still as awful as when they changed it and you had to face opponent? Any new towns added? Any more history added behind the Planeshift story that I should be aware of before RP'ing? How's the crafting coming along?

I'm back to try out PS once again, I've just installed and will be playing again regular once I'm off my holidays in two weeks. It's been 2 years and my RP is going to be rusty, but it was never that good in the first place. Let's see if I can do better this time. I'm hoping this game still 99% revolves around the RP, It's what kept me here so long.

Good to be back :)

Well I've recently started actively pplaying again making a new character earlier this week who has been making introductions but also leveling him up a bit and from what I have seen so far the craftingsystem looks a bit better. Magicsystem is finally a viabale option eventhough it's still killer to train and from what I hear still not as good as Melee.

Still I saw someone outside of Oja holding down 7 trepor spawns with just magic. Haven't seen anyone else do it but wouldn't dream of even keeping one spawn before. Still not sure how much training it required ofcourse seeing the max of almost everything seems to have been raised while I was away ;)

With fighting you still need to face your opponent. Uhm 2 years.. well Kranvillage is new for you then for sure also a lot of smaller things. Crafting is definately better but still needs tweaking and adding.

Still a lot of RP. Some people seem to think its gone but they seem to forget the number of people two years ago that ran around who couldn't RP at all. All people I have met ingame so far have a basic concept of what RP is and are trying their best. Some aren't perfect but I'll always take a bad Rper who is learning over someone who refuses to learn or refuses to roleplay.

Good to have you back, Gharan. Wish I could answer some of your questions about PS but I've been MIA myself lately.

Post by: Gharan on May 25, 2009, 02:02:32 am: I'm sure I remember you Garile, list some of your old RP chars maybe?

Hey Marq good to see you're still lurking around here my old PvP buddy :D

EDIT: No green name I'm afraid though Marq I don't remember my logins so I'll be starting fresh.

Sounds promising, but being that I'm starting from fresh I don't think I'll be training. If I were to play for training and gold I'd rejoin the Korean MMO I came back from. RP all the way. :)

Yeah, that's how I feel as well. My character used to be considered maxed out. Now, I die in one hit and can't kill anyone. That's just how it goes I guess.

Post by: Gharan on May 25, 2009, 04:40:45 pm: Was going through my Photobucket today and found some old screenshots I didn't know I had. Brings back some nice memories from the game.

Here's a few, hope no-one minds me posting them.

Welcome back.
