Title: Newbie, Starting Anew
Post by: Varnis54 on April 02, 2013, 05:38:31 am
I played Planeshift a while ago, but I had to quite due to certain issues.  Remembering the name of the game, and thinking that it might have been brought up to a different state, I would like to try the game again. 

I am wondering if the people still play the game, or is it completely dead?  Is it alive only at certain times?

Wibble.   ( That's PS parlance for welcome back... go figure.  )

Anyhow... yes, people still play but at different times. You are most likely to see people in either Hydlaa or Ojaveda.

Hello There. It is still "alive" but nothing like most commerical MMOs nowadays. People do still play though. If you ever want to know how many people are online or who is online you can use this link. http://planeshift.subhosting.net/index.php?page=char_stats

Typically, the game is most active during European Evening.

Thank you for the welcome.  And I am glad I am back, I just have no idea of where to start off at....  Oh well.  Still like it was when I first started to play it.

Also, thank you for the link to the "Online now".

You're welcome. Have fun. I would suggest starting with questing and looking for a profession to get into.

Oh, screw that. Join a baddie guild and pillage a guild house to two.   :devil:

Hmmm...  Pillage or quest? 

Which one would be more fun, and rewarding...

Hmmm...  Tough choice.

Heh heh ...

Although the physical game itself does not provide a means to rob or pillage, this sort of thing can easily be done via role play. Role play takes a little more thought and a few other players who role play too, but can be terribly satisfying.

The roleplay portion fo the game is what drew me in the first time.  Too bad my computer would crash with the game.

Don't listen to this hooligan. :D There are lots of things to do as a law abiding citizen. One thing is to not get hunted down like a wild animal. ;)

lol !

On the contrary, as a baddie you get to do things like burn Laanx priests, spread plagues, sell poisoned pies in the plaza, and lure Ulbernauts into the Stonehead Tavern.   o.O
Title: Re: Newbie, Starting Anew
Post by: Illysia on April 02, 2013, 07:55:50 am
Which tavern did you say? >.>

But see as a good character you can actually show your face in the light of day and someone might actually care if the evil things down in the sewer get a hold of you. However, if you do like Night Rogue, then you might find yourself being fed to the Ulbernauts. :D Especially if they are found in the Stonehead Tavern. >.>

But hiding in the shadows, and striking when least expected is always satisfying.

*Holds the Spoon of DOOM(tm) ready to Smite*

You don't keep law and order without busting a few rear ends. :innocent:

And while we are on that topic.... Language mister. >.> Don't make me get out the Platinum Spoon of DOOM(tm).

*Points the Wooden Spoon of DOOM(tm) in Rigwyn's Direction with intent to strike.*

Or worse, I'll tell Lilu and then you'll really need to quake in fear. :P

You all might want to follow Varnis54's example. ;)

Really now? I would expect you to accuse the really bad guys of using bad grammar LigH. :P
Title: Re: Newbie, Starting Anew
Post by: LigH on April 02, 2013, 10:31:03 am
Grammar is optional these days ... you know: There was the "Generation Golf" (Volkswagen), then came the "Generation .com", and how we have the "Generation Who-Cares".  :-\

No, kidding, I am happy to see that there are players who enjoy learning better english by playing PlaneShift. Even french people who are "notorious" for a lack of interest in foreign languages...  ::)
