Title: How did you find PS?
Post by: Vengeance on January 11, 2004, 06:16:49 pm: I am interested in how people who have found PS in the last 3 months have heard of us. I know it pretty much used to be from search engines and word of mouth, but I wonder if it is different now.

IF YOU HAVE FOUND PS SINCE OCTOBER, please answer the poll and post your thoughts.

Thanks,
- Venge

Post by: Moty on January 11, 2004, 06:20:06 pm: i find Ps from google wen i was serching Free MMORPG it was the first 1

:-D

Post by: Axsyrus on January 11, 2004, 06:38:14 pm: I found out about this game in june/july, so i didn\'t vote.

A friend of mine gave me a list with free beta mmorpg\'s, this one looked the most promising so i started playing it :)
Title:
Post by: lynx_lupo on January 11, 2004, 06:41:41 pm: I found PS obscurely mentioned in an article on MMORPGs and since it said it\'s the best(ratio wise...) and there weren\'t any pics or any other info, just had to google it.

Standard magazine, you know... paper :)
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on January 11, 2004, 06:56:33 pm: You know, I can\'t even remember how I found PS. I think I came across it from google or something like that.
Title:
Post by: Draklar on January 11, 2004, 07:01:12 pm: I found it exactly same way as Moty...
Title:
Post by: Boldstorm on January 11, 2004, 07:01:35 pm: I found PS by doing a Google search. Came across a site that listed a bunch of MMORPG\'s and started looking into them. PS by far was the best. Wish I could remember the website that I found when I did the Google search I have been looking for it but can\'t seem to find it again.

Post by: elscouta on January 11, 2004, 07:03:49 pm: I found it on http://www.linux-games.com. A month before September though. Was searching a good free game for Linux...

Post by: gabriell on January 11, 2004, 08:07:51 pm: Just like Moty
someone is playing from july? what more can you do then exept for collecting cristals?
Title:
Post by: Ghostslayer on January 11, 2004, 08:11:30 pm: Well other than collecting crystals, you can always explore, there are neat glitches you can take advantage of so you can get on top of rooftops, etc. As well, when the NPCs are back online, there are 2 quests available.

So I\'m just not spamming this thread :D :
I joined before October so didnt vote, but I found Planeshift through the Open Beta section on Gamespot. I just checked and its actually still there :)

Post by: Leander256 on January 11, 2004, 11:40:32 pm: Some people talked about an open source MMORPG called Planeshift on #gentoofr, and I thought it was worth a try. I don\'t regret it at all :)

EDIT: it was by the beginning of november, i voted \"Other\"

Post by: jalorden on January 12, 2004, 03:41:13 am: I was bored one day, so I started looking through the genoo portage tree for games I could try out...... this was one of several I tried that day. I have to say, it\'s the one that made the biggest impact on me.

Post by: Saethan on January 12, 2004, 09:13:25 am: Found it on the eq.castersrealm.com forums, on a post I forgot the title of(their forums appear to be down atm) but it was somebody asking for things to do to fill the void since he wasn\'t playing Everquest, and somebody suggested to check out Planetshift. I followed his link and tried it out, decided to stick around. :-)

Title:
Post by: Nikech on January 13, 2004, 03:35:53 pm: It was so long ago, but I\'m quite sure it was on the forums of Pelit, a Finnish gaming magazine. I wish I could remember who told me about PS...

Title: known for a while
Post by: khoralin on January 14, 2004, 07:23:51 am: I have known about PlaneShift for the better part of 6-monthes aobut the project, though I am a bit sad to say I haven\'t played it as much as I probably would like to admit. For the record I believe like many others I\'m sure I found this place through google. Though exactly what I used I can\'t remember. but hey! the important thing is that I\'m here in the first place right ^_*
Title:
Post by: Darknar on January 14, 2004, 10:24:59 am: I got the link of the linuxparty.dk site a couple of months ago (oct or nov). Been interested in it ever since.

Actually i\'ve never tried it, just browsing around. When i get my primary box reinstalled, I\'ll give it a try, and i must say... I can\'t wait :).

Oh yea. I\'m new :P

*waves*
Title:
Post by: Shadarlogoth on January 15, 2004, 05:45:35 am: Since October.... Is today since October? If it is, then I found out about it on another MMPORPG forum... Someone dropped the name in a topic whinging about the other game......

The other game, in case you be interested, is Tibia.....

Its only 2D, and is optional payment.... I play it for nothing (As you do :P), but you can pay like $15US a month if ya want.... Oh, Hi all... and I\'m from Australia....

And be warned... I\'m considering applying as a Writer for the Planeshift Community......

BUAHAHAHAHA!

Just messing with ya.... I right good things like that.......

Til next time,

Title:
Post by: Golbez on January 15, 2004, 12:04:33 pm: I was looking for MMORPGs, Google led me here. However, back then PlaneShift was not the first result of the search, it was even in the third page, I remember...

This was almost two years ago, in February 2002.

And Tibia has Commodore 128 graphics, not C64! :]

But in case you are wondering...No, I don\'t play it. :P
Title:
Post by: Bart17 on January 15, 2004, 02:25:52 pm: I\'ve asked in another forum what free mmorpg there where and someone said PS, so I went to take a look, and the pics where good. So I downloaded it.
Title:
Post by: faldrok on January 16, 2004, 12:56:57 am: I also joined before October, so no voting from me. I learned about this game from my cousin, Hevrah. I just went to his house one day and he was playing it, so I got home and d/l it.

OT: I think I have the best story :P

Post by: Fish on January 17, 2004, 07:02:19 pm: OK from the beginning.

I am working on a project that is not unlike an eye toy but a lot more advanced. Seeing that this product would work well in the game arena, one function is to pull the third dimension from a picture at 30 frames a second, I started looking for an engine that I could make a demo with. Just a stupid rotating object but what the heck. This was about four years ago.

So I was looking at Crystal space for a few years. Then I saw this project start. Since I like this kind of game I stayed interested in it. So I?ve been looking at this project a lot longer than my post count /start date would indicate.
Title:
Post by: Fanomatic2000 on January 17, 2004, 07:02:51 pm: I grew tired of Tibia and Runescape, and I though it was time to find something more meaningful to play, so I put on the googles, and found Planeshift. :)
Title:
Post by: AryHann on January 18, 2004, 12:39:12 pm: I was trying to get information about the network possibilities of Crystal Space and then Jorrit and thebolt suggested me to use for this purpose what has been done already in Planeshift.
With curiosity, I have found Planeshift through Crystal Space homepage and download the code.
And since I had a nice computer and a nice connection, I decided to install it and play it a bit!

Post by: Icefalcon on May 06, 2004, 05:14:56 am: After I got sick of runescape :D I went to MMORPG.com and tried out a few betas. I noticed Planeshift, but I saw it wasn\'t near completion, so I didn\'t look into it. I played Thesa Online Beta for a while, but that got boring real quick. So while I was searching hopelessly for another free game, I came across Planeshift again and decided to check it out...and here I am 8)

Post by: Zeraph on May 09, 2004, 02:18:59 pm: Well I had no way of playing it so I was actually searching for another beta. I eventually came across this site: http://www.betawatcher.com/

It took me 1 or 2 days of searching the site & I actually looked @ the website once & decided it wasn?t any good, then a day later I came across it again & noticed it was free. Then I checked out the website more & thought it was just what I was looking for!

Btw: BetaWatcher is a good site! It lead me here!

Post by: Exodius on May 24, 2004, 04:33:27 am: The game I usually play had its server down today,So while waiting for it to be fixed, I hit the internet looking for something to play.
all the games I came across were either horrible, or expensive, and when I saw this I was AMAZED that it hadnt cost money, the only thing I had seen like this that was free was Castle Wolfenstein Enemy Terrirory, Im still having some troubles downloading, But this game may be nice, compared to the 4.50 A month I pay at my other game.

Post by: StealthTiger on May 24, 2004, 06:28:36 am: Search engine. I was looking for free MMORPGs and Planeshift was one of the first to pop up.

Title:
Post by: Adeli on May 28, 2004, 02:04:27 pm: I googled it but with a difference, I was looking at a group of mmorpgs, and downloaded a few, all of which I never played, then I was googling more, made a typo in my search thread, and an article about planeshift appeared, so here I am.
Title:
Post by: Samoth on May 29, 2004, 04:02:30 am: I read about Planeshift one of the http://anandtech.com forums.
Title:
Post by: Seytra on June 02, 2004, 12:41:04 am: I found it the way I find most things: by stumbling accross it while searching for totally different things. :)

It came up on a websearch, I think, for samba compatibility issues or something like that (don\'t remember exact terms). I noticed \"MMORPG\" and \"SourceForge\" in the link summary and there it had my attention. :) So it was by accident. (Therefore, I voted \"other\", even though it was a \"search engine\").

I didn\'t find a solution to the actual search, however.

Oh, btw., I then skimmed the news section and the april fools joke nearly made me go away, as I didn\'t look at the date and was reading \"middle-out\". Glad I came back the next day to check out what the new SF-egoshooter would be.

AND I\'M GLAD IT STILL IS A FANTASY MMORPG!!!

:)
Title:
Post by: kbilik on June 03, 2004, 02:02:31 am: Used google to search for free mmorpgs, and found some site which lists them (forgot its name... it was a very long time ago). Planeshift was on there and it looked promising.

And that was even before I registered on January 7th 2002 :]

Title:
Post by: Psybur on June 12, 2004, 03:07:14 am: Well, I think I may have found it before october, but I really didnt start playing until February. This is because in the beginning I had RedHat and the stuff wouldnt compile right. Now I have gentoo, and I can just get the deps I need for it and I can compile it (I didnt emerge planeshift).

I found PS by looking around on sourceforge for MMORPGS and other games, and planeshift caught my eye.
Title:
Post by: gogg on June 12, 2004, 09:59:59 pm: A long long time ago I downloaded a game, no clue how I found it, I think sourceforge, walked around, shouted \"hello\", got no response, kept walking around, wanted to exit and distinctly remembered being asked if I wanted to return to \"normal boring life\", and then like 3-4 years later (really not sure about this), I found it again, but this time people were on.

Post by: Gellule on June 13, 2004, 01:29:18 am: A french free software website showed me the way to planeshift.

Post by: Efflixi Aduro on October 05, 2004, 02:46:20 am: Id say sourceforge since its in their database

Post by: kronon on October 05, 2004, 11:51:20 pm: I found crystal space at freshmeat and wanted to see how it looked like. Because the documentenation at that time didn\'t clearly state how to start the demo, I figured to compile planeshift and look what crystal space could do. Needless to say my motivation to run planeshift changed a little bit over time;)

It came with the OS? Don\'t the Planeshift Devs have to agree to that since the art is licensed?

Post by: Draageos on October 27, 2004, 10:08:21 am: Not that I know, but I would guess that they \"put it in\" the same way they have with the nvidia drivers...
An option to download it, followed by the license agreement..
Just a guess

Post by: Polymordiese on October 30, 2004, 03:32:26 am: I started playing EQ during the first week of release. Back in 1999, my friends and I who were playing EQ were thinking we should start a free MMORPG. We were thinking we could slip in corporate logos as sponsors, but it was more of a Blade Runner scenario.
We spent lots of time kicking back drinking coffee thinking about the possibilities and we didn?t think it would be appreciated, soo we just kept playing EQ.

Recently, I stopped EQ, I got bored mostly. It bothered me that I would have to cancel my account to stop paying and it was at a risk that in 5 months my 65 Shaman could poof, 5 years of creation down the toilet. It would be much nicer to think, \"well at this time in my life I don\'t have the time to play, maybe this summer\".

So, since I\'m not playing EQ any more, I downloaded the latest Red hat DVD ISO and prepared to finally do what I always wanted to do, get rid of Microsoft from my pc. As I sat down I thought to myself, \"What kinds of games can I play on Linux?\". I typed in Google \"Linux MMORPG\" it directed me to \"http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&forumid=1&threadid=243973\" and blamo.....Here I am

I personally don?t see what I could contribute to this project, but I seriously want to help if I can think of anything. I am excited for you folks......

(Gawd, I love Open-source, Thank you Torvalds)

Post by: Samoth on October 30, 2004, 06:34:25 am: One of the fine folks on the forum at anandtech.com clued me in to planeshift. This is a great source for PC help and hot deals. :)

Post by: edge388 on November 02, 2004, 07:11:41 pm: I found this game late last summer, early fall, while searching for free 3d mmorpg\'s on google. I was reading through a forum topic that had come up in the searches and somone was talking about PS and how great it was. They couldnt have been more wrong, i was extremely impressed when i first logged in

*edit* i meant\'t to say right instead of wrong, but thats what i get for writing things while im tired after a really long day of class/work.
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on November 02, 2004, 08:08:05 pm: Not to be nit picky but your post is an oxy-moron.
You say that they were talking about how great it was and then say they were wrong and follow it with the fact that you love it??! ?(
Perhaps you should edit it so it makes more...whats the word...sense.
Title:
Post by: Adeli on November 03, 2004, 04:53:41 pm: It was more of a contradiction than an oxymoron... \"Military Intelligence\" is an oxymoron
Samoth, that seems like a Shameless advertisement to me... is that really where you heard of PS?

Post by: Kossuth on November 04, 2004, 09:39:13 am: Bizarrely I was searching for info on a blue screen related to a particular SB driver and someone referenced it on the game site. Had a look and decided to give it a try.

I found it messed with my computer, so i uninstalled and deleted it. 1 year later, with a new comp, i looked for new games. I found it again and have been here ever since.

Post by: Nielkie on January 20, 2005, 12:57:45 pm: Do you people realise that this thread was started just a little more than a year ago? This is the longest lasting thread that I have seen in along time.

Me?

Found it back when it was at AB (where? I don\'t know, their was only 2 people online so I uninstalled it and forgot about it.

Then about 10-11 months ago I found it again on google, Installed it, played it for quite a long time, ran out of hard drive space so uninstalled it, forgot about it.

A month after then I remembered it again and started checking the website everyday (this was JAN/FEB 2004) until CB was released!

Then at about October last year (which was 2004 for you forgetful people), I got bored and downloaded the Linux package to see if I could compile it under Cygwin, failed at that. a couple of days later I downloaded the Windows package and played it for a couple of days, then uninstalled it.

Then CB was released, tryed to download it that night, was unsuccessfully for about a week(I am on 56k) then downloaded it on a T1 connection and finally got it in time for new years.

In total that is about 1 GB (Probably less) just for planeshift. That is alot on 56k.

Now for what you all wanted to hear......I sellected google!

Post by: Tharizdun on February 22, 2005, 01:48:58 am: It was a discussion of how some guy paid $26500 USD for a piece of real-eastate in another MMORPG that is free to play, but lets you exchange real world cash for in-game items and vice versa. Its pretty amazing to think that for a weekend of playing computer games you can earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars, what a job!! I\'ve heard of people selling Everquest items on ebay and so on, heard all sorts of stories about Ultima Online, but had never checked out any sort of graphical mmorpg before.. though I was into muds in the late 90\'s.

http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/12/14/1759253

One post suggested that people investigate this opensource mmorpg that runs under linux called Planeshift, I jumped aboard the Molecular Blue bandwagon about 4 days before the server was downed in a pre-Crystal Blue migration phase, and havent looked back since!

I checked the -games listings on the OS X download site. It seemed interesting. I try a lot of freeware...but never a game...

this great...and*sigh* addictive...

Post by: Jinkeen on October 27, 2005, 07:59:18 am: I was discussing MMORPGs with some gaming buddies. I told them that i rarely have tried them because of subscriptions and so forth. I decided to google \"free MMORPG\" and found this one.

Ten minutes later I had downloaded the client from torrent. One day later client updated..all hell breaks loose :)

I pretty much have spent every waking hour since then playing or checking the server status. I read the player manual and the bulk of the informative threads ahead of time and was quite pleased at how prepared I was for the game. I was forced to ask 2-3 newb questions and get some help for mining location at the magic shop, but other than that it has been very easy to adapt.

This game has ruined me and I am officially an addict. I had no idea they were this fun and I\'ve enjoyed meeting many of you online already. I\'ve been at it 4-5 days now and I can\'t imagine what life was like pre-PS. lol.

I am currently debating whether to tell my buddies about this game or keep it to myself. I am afraid the role-playing will suffer if people I know already IRL, are in the game with me.

Post by: Eowyn on October 28, 2005, 02:43:29 am: A Search engine, in my case.

This friend of mine has just recently turned to MMORPGs and was curious to know what was on the Net that was free. We both got together and spent a whole night just looking through search engines and such, and taking sneak peeks at several more promising games.

Both he and I ended up creating characters for PS, but while I am here to stay (for the time being, at least), he seems to be on the verge of dropping his character here and instead going for Project Entropia with his heart and soul. I can\'t say I blame him. If I had a credit card (which I don\'t have, and if you find that strange, don\'t; it\'s not all *that* uncommon over here) I might now be over at Project entropia instead of here.

It just looks *so* nifty 8)

But alas, you guys are stuck with me :P

Post by: Wavowet on November 06, 2005, 09:46:26 pm: I found this game a hell of a long time ago not 3 months ago woops lol. but i found it on a search engine. PS has gotten so better over the years. i stopped playing it because i forgot about it but now i remembered it again and its looks way cool.

Post by: Gorzhuul on November 07, 2005, 05:49:37 am: I found this game about 5-6 months after it was playable on a search engine and i played for 2 months, then i was getting bored of running around collecting crystals so i quit and about a month ago i started playing again :D

Post by: GullyFoyle on November 29, 2005, 04:13:57 pm: I found out about this game about 3 years ago. I\'ve been very curious about the open source community then, and especially the gaming sector. PS is a wonderful example of a community working towards a goal.

I haven\'t played the game in several years, but I eagerly check back on the PS site for new developments. I was an avid Star Wars Galaxies player, and now play WoW, but that does not mean I will turn my back on PS. I will be logging in again soon to give it a go! :)

IF YOU HAVE FOUND PS SINCE OCTOBER, please answer the poll and post your thoughts.

Thanks,

I did a google. This was one of the games I tried out. The second or third, actually. I didn\'t bother to finish going through the list I made, which I should probably do.

Post by: DeMetaal on January 31, 2006, 01:08:10 pm: Ive been playing like crazy so i really cant remember how long ive been playing, how ever i do know how i got in touch of PS

My girlfriends brother was playing the silly game every day pretty much every minute of the game so i couldnt miss it.

i looked at it a few times and it didnt look interesting..
however out of curiosity i downloaded it and took a try in it, he helped me out a lot with swords and money and i was one hell of a good noob ;)

now ive grown to the position of one who can help noobs a lot. so i do sometimes..specially female noobs...we really need them ;)

thats my story about how i got in touch of PS

i still love to play it and its always aweful to see \"fail 100%\"
;)

Post by: diesel1 on February 01, 2006, 12:50:45 am: Hi, I have been enchanted with this world although I really should stop wandering aroung just saying hello and sounding a bit short on experience!

I hope to see this game grow into a fine place to experience a fantasy lifestyle.
And hopefully my friend will decide he needs a *free* game to play instead of spending ?20 per month.

Post by: neko kyouran on February 01, 2006, 02:40:47 am: I guess I should finally respond.

Umm, I played version .2.010 as I just found the executable on one of my back up cd\'s. (Backup is good, remember that)

If I remember right, I was searching for a free game to test and this one popped up, but shortly after I was asked to beta test another game. (I beta test quite alot, not just online games, board games, etc , as well) so I didn\'t pick it up again til last august. Right when the players all got wiped. Been playing it since, well, was, until I met a wonderful person. Now it\'s everynow now and then when I can sneak in.

I first met him when i was toying around with Linux and he sent me a link. I have been an addict ever since day 1.

Post by: Choren on February 02, 2006, 03:42:16 pm: I found it by gooogle on a website called http://play-free-online-games.com/games/games_rpg.html this site list on line games.

I found it in October, but did not at the time have the ram to play it. I got the ram In decmber and started playing.

Post by: SirRight on February 19, 2006, 08:09:16 pm: Found it via search engine but for those who like to keep up on the MMORPGs out there, here is an excellent site:

http://www.mmorpg.com

Check out the \"Game List\" tab and get info on each game. Sort by clicking on headers.

Post by: Elarra Hasare on February 20, 2006, 10:53:00 pm: I noticed it had 15000 seeds on someplace who\'s name escapes me though it wouldn\'t download so i googled it and got it from the planeshift site.

Post by: Aradia on February 20, 2006, 11:08:03 pm: A friend of mine told me to play Runescape, so I searched for it and PS came up. I read some reviews about it and seen that it focused on RP more than Runescape did. Well, needless to say, I never once logged onto Runescape and am quite glad that I found PS. :-)
Title:
Post by: Celebrimor on February 21, 2006, 12:32:08 am: I needed a break from Conquer Online 2 (another MMORPG), did a google search, and bumped into PS, and since it works on my mac, now I can play on two computers semi-simultaneously. Though, since CO2 has no RP:ing people in it, I think I\'ll stick with PS.

Yep, pretty much the same for me :)

Something similar, only that I went on google and typed, \"Top MMORPGS\" and popped up with this website and found that PS was number one, looked at screenshots and was amazed. :D Before I used to play \"Runescape\" but that game extremely sucked. I can\'t believe I play that game for a year. [Scolds himself] \"HOW DARE YOU, AHRIMAN!\"
Anyway, I have been an addict since day one, playing 4-5 hours a day... Sometimes all day, which is 12 hrs on weekends... Yea, i\'m THAT crazy.

Post by: vferg on February 21, 2006, 07:39:22 am: Guess mine is not as common as I would have thaught. The other day I was on a torrent site and stats showed this game being #1 on a top ten of downloads by alot! So I got curious and looked you guys up and saw how interesting it looked so now trying it out. This game must be getting alot of attention now seeing as to how many people were trying to get it!

Post by: narix_ahene on February 21, 2006, 10:46:16 pm: I was looking for an alternative to my anti-drug drug, RO, and I found it by searching Google and being led to a big site all about MMORPGs.

That was back at the beginning of 2003 :D

Sadly, back then, my computer wasn\'t good enough to play so I waited 3 years to build myself a computer to be able to play.

The end.

Post by: Aznakh on February 27, 2006, 03:34:44 am: Actually I play since December 2004 so I did not vote.

I found the game by typing \"free mmorpg mac\" in google. At the time I discovered it there was no Mac version yet.

P.S.: I never tried the R-game .... :D

Post by: Typhorean on February 27, 2006, 04:13:50 am: Ahh, oh so long ago, I searched for \'Free 3d mmorpg\' on google...There were like 2 or 3 projects whose description were EXACTLY the same, identical to planeshift\'s, and the first one i looked at was totally bogus so i just assumed they all were. Then another day I did the same search and noticed the site now had a different description, and here I am today. ;)

EDIT: Whoop, didn\'t notice the \'since october\' bit.
