N00b!!!11eleven (Edit: or bad memory, I guess)
It's always been there back from when the Wayback Machine started mirroring the site in 2001. It was pretty shitty. The last dump that had it was this one (http://web.archive.org/web/20070116003517/http://www.planeshift.it/) from January 16th, 2007.
Edit2: A world that "evolves by itself"?? ... No frickin' comment.

They're random 3D renders to make the game look better than it actually does. More here (http://web.archive.org/web/20011014102018/http://www.planeshift.it/pics.html). This is what the game actually looked like around the time the intro was made:

The screenshot looks like Fantasy Doom, and that creature like a deadly alien brain eater.

That is just...wow.....
and that pic of the entrance to the temple of laanx, what happened to it? got wiped?
-
i like the dark rock citadel render. hoping the powers that be don't retcon out the lower levels like they did the diaboli.
-
After watching that flash derula posted, I wonder... where the hell did those 3D renders go? Why aren't they in game? I mean... aren't they awesome?

They're renders. Time is no concern with rendered images. The art was probably created back than specifically to be used in the rendering, ignoring any polygon count limits. In those days, they likely took a very long time to render, and even if the art was still there, PS probably still wouldn't run at a sane framerate if they were in the game.

Yep, that's a Stonebreaker. As of 0.3 all dwarf models were Hammerweilders (at least male ones as I recall). Prior to that, they were all Stonebreakers.
Here is one of my favorite shots (http://www.explorersguild.org/storage/mordaan/MB/agara-sangwa-wedding6.jpg) (one of the few I still have) from MB. You can see some dwarves there. As well as the old female Dermorian models. :-)

old female Dermorian models
Huh. Did the female Dermorian models come later during MB? Because I believe to recall that when I signed up, there were none and I was forced to make Jamona a fenki. Which didn't really fit well with the story I already had made up for her (the story was a bit godmoddy and out of setting anyway, but years later I RPed an adjusted version of it).

2007.07.11
PlaneShift team is proud to present you a new release: 019! Some new features present in the new version will be enabled shortly. Here is a list of changes:
Content:
...
- Added dermorian female player character model
...
I think after that release female demorians were the most played chars for two weeks. ;).

Uhm... I don't remember exactly. I know I was in MB though. I remember running round the dungeon picking crystals off the ground and jumping from the windowless tower without dying. I also remember climbing houses with Fenki-Jamona; maybe that was CB already? And when the model came, I recreated her as dermo with ol' MB inventory which was still possible because of the semi-wipe. I was kind of glad because I re-got the ring of the past I accidentally dropped when I created her as a fenki. Yes, that's how it must've happened.
I WANT MY MOLECULAR BLUE MYPLANE ACHIEVEMENT!! :((
-
Sorry...can't be much of a help there. The model currently used for the female dermorian was for sure introduced in CB..as I still remember seeing it for the first time. Just not so sure anymore what model was used before that...I thought it was the female ynnwn model...but it's a long time ago ;).
*Gives derula a "My char is old enough to even change it's race without anyone noticing it" achievement*

I joined in early 2004 and the DermorianF model was already in MB. I am thinking it was there from the beginning. There were a lot of notable Dermorians around, like Kada-El, Gronomist, Agara, and Explorers founder Havena.
Then, yes, they disappeared when CB came out and reintroduced with a new model in 2007 as was stated. It needed to happen, those MB models were bigger than Ylian males and looked all discomboblated when running. ;D

IIRC all character models had to be rebuilt for CB because a new CEL ... thing ... Crystal Space related part specifically for character models was introduced. I just can't remember running around as a Dermorian in MB, but it must have been that way, because Jamona is older than my PS account.
I do recall though I once accidentally robbed some strangers in Hydlaa. They were trading Crystals, and because there was no trade feature they had to put it on the ground. Because there also was no guard feature, everyone could take it. I just thought "Oh nice, found some Crystals" and took them. Then, they were inexplicably mad at me xD
Those were the days! I wish we could put up an MB server somewhere, that would be awesome![/half-jokingly]
Heh, somebody lock this thread; the original question has been answered and it's off-topic now.
