Title: Love this game
Post by: -Tsumeone- on March 21, 2004, 12:46:21 am

I\'d like to start off saying thank you to the devs for making such an awesome game, and for making it opensource as well.  It looks like it will be a great game when it is more finished.  Even now the world so far is great.

Just a few questions... any idea on the release date of CB?  I wasn\'t accepted into the World of Warcraft Beta and I am really bored (bored of WC3 and D2) and all the games I really own are not RPGs :(

What video card should I use to play this?  I know a GeForce 2 MX probably wont cut it, but will a GeForce FX 5600?  It is kind of choppy with my GFFX 5600 and was wondering if my card is too slow or if it is a bug in the game.

And why the name Planeshift?  Just curious.

I\'m gonna give you the best advice a person can give you on this topic and I\'m going to say it the nicest possible way as everyone is going to flame you.  Click on that nifty little search button and take a gander around for your answer.  The question of when CB will be released has been asked numerous times and answered numerous times.

because there are magic portals all around the world and by going through one of them you are shifting planes of existence, therefore the motto, \"a universe is not enough\" or so i always interpreted the meaning of the motto and the info of the magic portals in the guide somewhere.

So I guess they are going to jump up one day and surprise us with the release?  Thats what I can gather from what I read...  That really sucks though because I am going to drain all of the bandwidth hitting refresh to see if it\'s out yet =/

I\'m assuming the game slowdowns are bugs then because my card is relatively good?

yeah, thats the idea :D  lol  I think its pretty good, coz they never know when they have time to work on PS, and it keeps everyone alert about when the game is there :D

Bout the bug, yeah, its probably not your card, but the game. The server is written wrong or something, I dont know the details, it just lags for everyone. Nomatter what you card is

I bet if I had a fibre optic line straight to the server and a GeForce 5950 Ultra it wouldn\'t lag as much ;)

Im pretty sure it would lag as much. It is mostly not net lag but local slowness.
The client is mostly unoptimized and there are bugs that cost local performance.
Also at least the version of the grafic engine in MB uses a heavy CPU and RAM load.

You are right about that, it was using over 300mb of ram on my system =/
