Who knows when it was thought up.  It was released a pretty long time ago.  No exact date.

if it has been thought up so long ago,

then how come its taken so long to get weapons, monsters etc???

i might quit this game, if it doesn\'t hurry up.

Its pointless atm, coz all u do is walk around, and get crystals.


I also believe that givin no rewards to complete the quest waz a bad idea.

i know the first 20 plp got rubies, but for the 1000 others, there is no more motive, and thus makes the game even more boring.

its a pre alpha, its not even a game yet, it was just to show ppl how it was going. And chances are once this game is done its going to be riduculously popular, so (no offence) but noones gonna miss u.
And characters are going to be wiped anyway, so its no big deal not giving rewards for the quest, or having items for that matter.

1.) This game is being made by VOLOUNTERS. That means that they are NOT getting paid. This is NOT their job. They do it on their SPARE TIME. If you want it so badly. Download the source and do some typing for ffs.

2.) If its pointless, DONT PLAY.

3.)....no comment.


Sorry if this seems rude, but Im getting a little tired of everybody that is saying \"i w4nt d4 g4m3 N0w PLZ!!11!\"

I am very sorry to say this, but frankly I don\'t think anyone actually give a damn if you quit or not. Well, I\'m sure more people would want you to disappear and never return if you keep that attitude...

Be happy. :)

EVERYTHING in this is a test. The quest was a test to see how quests would work. The game is a test. It\'s very generous of them to release a compiled binary, they could just give out the source. Then where would you be? But instead the devs are considerate of people who obviously wouldn\'t be able to download and compile the source files themselves (as they don\'t comprehend open source.)  The whole idea of the GPL is that things are free. This means that they CAN\'T make money off of the game, so they must do it in their spare time. True, they could sell tech support or some such, but as it\'s pre alpha that\'s not exactly practical.

I\'m not completely sure but when I found PS at around november 2001, it had been going for like 2 years, although it had been started over a few times as far as I know...

See the news on the main site about when the first demo was released?

It never was, and it never will. Planeshift will always evolve, just like the game-engine :).
