I am new here. Planeshift looks like a great game, but i\'ve heard that theres no battle system yet. thats ok as long as one is added later on when you get farther in the development. But i do have some questions.
1. The screenshots make it look like this game is first person like bond games. Can you play while seeing your character?
2. Is the people here friendly?
3. Are the admins some kind of people that only post when they need to make an announcment or yell at someone, or answer a question? Do they act all important and talk like robots. Or do they have normal names for forums and fantasy games, and talk like regular people and not some kind of cop. I\'m not trying to offend any admins, its just a question.
Well thats it. hope i become well known here.

Welcome to PS! :)
The battle system and mobs will be added in the next release of the game. This is expected to be released soon, although, no official date will be given to avoid people getting disappointed when they don\'t meet the deadline. All we can do atm is guess- and I\'d guess we have anywhere from 1-4 months left waiting time. :)
As for the answers to your numbered questions:
1. There are three viewmodes available in Molecular Blue; First Person, Third Person and Camera. So yes, you can play while watching your character on-screen. In the next release (codenamed: Crystal Blue) there is a new and greatly improved camera system, which can be seen in this sneakpeak movie (http://www.planeshift.it/download/movie3.avi).
2. The great majority of players here are very friendly and helpful people, thankfully. :) You\'ll have no problem finding friends in our community, I assure you.
3. The admins try to post here as frequently as possible and talk with their fans like regular people, even if they are extremely hard at work at the moment developing the next release of the game. They arn\'t employees on a payroll, however, so generally they\'re very friendly and like answering questions about the game. :)
See you around, Myst. :)

thank you.

Yes, well it\'s hard for the rest of us to stop thinking of you as gods. Although if we don\'t get our CB fix, you may find yourselves viewed as demons instead. :P

Gods? So if I pray some more CB might come sooner? ?(
Well, I always thought that acraig\'s avatar was really his picture. And you\'re saying that vengeance is actually taller than 4 ft? 8o

good. im signed up for this one forum where the admin named himself staff, and talked like a robot, then everyone kept spamming, and he finnaly lost his temper and \"I\'m tired of you urchins posting like on F*ucking AIM or something.\" =D
-
Hehe I\'d just keep spamming just to give him a nervous breakdown of some kind :D :D :D
Yeah, everybody here is alright :D Bit weird at times but that\'s normal :))
-
theres so many \"wierd\" people in the world i would think they would be the people to be considered normal. =D.

Is your name derived by the game Myst? I haven\'t played it, but I have played Riven and Exile. If your name is derived from it, what is the game like?

Heh, I love Myst. Its the first strategy/rpg type game I ever played (never was into video games much) and it led me to look for mmorpgs. But I\'m too cheap to pay and that\'s when I found PS. :D
Played Myst and Riven but Exile\'s gui made me dizzy. :rolleyes: Maybe I\'ll get back to it someday.

Yep.... and remember people, You\'re UNIQUE, just like everyone else! ;)

the devs are actually normal who woulda thought..
offtopic: Russian You stole my quote lol!! nobody touches my quotes..how evil..but hey i hope to be just like Stalin only better :D
-
well, anyways... nice to see you Myst. Hope you have fun in PS.
And Fishy, another great quote is \"In the Red Army it takes more curage to retreat, than to advance.\" Im gona try to work that into my guild. How about \"In the Merc. Guild it takes more curage to reatreat, than to advance.\" Yep, that took a lot of skill to come up with that.... im so proud of my UNIQUE self... :P
-
Man, you really ARE unique :P And you\'re quotes are SOOOOO original. You gotta be some kind of god or something like that to have such a high skill in making such good quotes, I\'m impressed.
BUH :P
-
i wont be in game for a few days. each part for it takes me an hour and a hlaf to download, and downloading them al in one day would make my parents mad for leaving the computer on so long, there fore ill download one part a day. long but effective.
-
why not download all at the same time? that would only take an hour and a half for the whole thing....

Yeah, that\'s funny. All I\'ve heard of it was from a brief PC Gamer story. Must be pretty quiet, or else I need to get out more. :p
Similar to something posted by Russian Vodka
Why don\'t you download it all at once? It\'s only 1 1/2 hours!
Read his post carefully, and you can see he refers to 90 minutes for each of the parts.
-
Welcome MystWalker!! I?m sure you?ll love it here.
Myst, Riven, Exile = Great, Good, ok.
Uru = ?don?t make me get my shotgun!?
Oh and they are making another one. I hope by heaven it is at least back up to the standards laid down my Riven.
Oh and I love storyline not effects -though both are good.
-
i hardly ever play myst anymore but its a great game. all ive heard of uru was in a magazine, a tv commercial, and on mmorpg.com, but that doesn\'t have to do with anything! im here to play Planeshift, so far, 2 parts are done.
