I didnt get this game yet but i am wondering if i should. What makes this game so diffrent from others? Do u recommend it?
-
Of course I would recommend this game, but judging from your name, this might not be the game you are looking for. No offense, but SavageMan13 sounds like a no-roleplaying, hack-n-slash type of name. Maybe I shouldn\'t judge you like this, but your name gives the impression...
-
Indeed I do!
The fantastic community (devs and players) here alone and it\'s dedication to keep the game true to it\'s ideals, is reason enough. Not to mention the potential shown by the tech demo that you can download to see if it\'s your thing.....very soon to be followed by a much advanced version!
What games have you come from to arrive here?
-
Well ya i love to hack and slash but i have a soft spot for RPGs. I never played a MMORPG though. How r the graphics?
-
Coming on a treat .....see! (http://www.planeshift.it/pics.html)

The graphics so far are excellent for a free and opensource game. :) You can see screenshots on the main website, or by visiting the Random Screenshot link at the top of any forum page, or by downloading the movie that was recently posted in the News section.
PlaneShift is a game that hopes to focus more on the Roleplaying aspect than other games in the genre. Players will be encouraged to get fully immersed in the game world and not simply \"click\" \"click\" \"click\" all the time to do things. Also, combat is not an essential part of the gameplay... of course, much detail will be given to the combat system, but I mean you won\'t have to train your fighting skills if you don\'t want to. A powerful character could have no combat finess? whatsoever... he/she could be a famous merchant, or a legendary skilled craftsman, for example.
The developers hope to create a game that anyone will want to play, regardless of their chosen playstyle. Even hack\'n\'slashers like yourself. :) (That is, of course, if you think of a slightly more suitable name for your character... heh ;) )

I\'ve heard that it is similiar to Morrowind (a video game). Is that true?
-
It depends on what you consider \"simila\" to be, it is similar to Morrowind because it was full 3D graphics, and music, stuff like that. And it is a RPG (the whole killing monsters, making weapons, doing quests kind of thing), so yes it is like Morrowind, but it is more, there will be many players playing at the same time of course, its a MMORGP...
-
Well, I\'m convinced. Thanks everyone. Feel free to add stuff.
-
Oh, and another reason to play this game is it is FREE and that I play it so..yeah It must be great
-
man. i love those graphics. i wanna play this so bad. i got delayed cuz i never got the chance to download yesterdays part. another day not to play.
-
It\'s not really a game though... it\'s more like BowieWorld or some other 3-D free chatroom with different avatars, glitches to secret places, and alternating music to alternating places. I wouldn\'t make any promises to the game\'s features, but it seems to be turning out pretty well.
-
thats what ive heard, but isnt it gonna get more features???
-
No, i dont recomend you to play this game!
Joke...
Everyone will answer you the same here, because we all(atlest a big part of us) are PS fanatics. So... this is probobly not the right place to ask such questions.
Right now threre isnt much of the actual game, but some ppl get addicted to crystal hunting. Luckly i got over it by spending 1,5 months away from home, comp and PS :) Otherwise... i dont even want to think about it!
Besides that the community is realy cool :) I totaly recomend you to atlest try it. If you wont like it, it your problem! And always remeber - this is a mm game, not sp. The community plays a big role in it!

My name is also a non-mmorpg name but i love MMORPG...
-
No I think your name is RP-like...numbers in a name shows a non-RP-like name (imo)
-
How do i get an avatar?
-
Only admins/developers/want-to-be\'s have avatars. It helps to quickly distinguish between staff and fans on the forums.
-
oooo...ok i think is get it
-
This game is for those who love Roleplaying...who enjoys great grafics..which i think is far more impressive that even many games like EverQuest or even StarWars:Galaxies...and ye it\'s for people with patience...:P

what you can do though i have a picture in your signature, like my one.

What picture?
-
Nah, i like my signature i think its funny
-
ok, I am gonna be honest here, so....
... This game has many ups, and many downs.
so let\'s start with the \"ups\":
Ups:
-Great Graphics
-Friendly Community
-Great Detail (sound, objects, etc)
-Free
-Addictive
Downs:
-Glitchy
-Sometimes Laggy
-No Actual Gameplay other than Role-Playing
-Crystals (currency) are hard to come by
-Objects are OUTRAGEOUSLY over-priced
The game looks great and has many good reasons to play, but for now it really isn\'t a \"game\". There is an upcoming expansion which is rumored to fix ALL of the \"downs\" I\'ve listed above, so it has some hope.
Closing Statement:
This game is looking great and has a lot of potential for one still in pre-alpha :D, lets hope it stays that way :D
-
Yeah, thats prety much it... just wait till the next release...
-
is there any sort of fighting in the game right now? and if it\'s going to be added in the next update thingy, does anyone know how far away that is? I like roleplaying and im not a just \"hack and slash\" gamer, but i would really like to have some fighting in the game.
-
i agree with Kloe video games should have some violence or else they r to real and whats the point of playing them!?.... Kloe didnt really say all that though
-
Hey ppl listen, this isn\'t even a game yet. Its a pre-alpha demo (not even beta) so there can\'t be any downs right now...
-
sorry :P i think this game looks fun, im just sayin i wont play it as much if there isnt some sort of fighting in it.
-
After reading this thread and your responses, I don\'t think PS is right for you.

I understand that your an admin and ill probably be repremanded but I feel strongly about this... I dont think you are in a position to tell someone else that a certain game is not right for them simply by a post they have made. Unless you can read his mind with some bizare talent then your comment is negated by what I mentioned above.
Then again its your opinion and he can choose to interpret that as he wishes.

(Why am I defending Venge? Mostly because I\'m defending my same opinion. :P)
[Rant]
Oh but he is in a position to do so. You see, we all evaluate and judge a person based on what they do on a subconcious level. You have already judged whether or not he\'s the type of person you would like to see in this game, whether you like it or not.
Being a member of the Planeshift team, he knows what aims and goals they have for this game. Clearly he views that Savageman13 doesn\'t fit in with them.
[/Rant]
My personal view of Savageman13 is that he is one who views hacking \'n\' slashing as a form of roleplaying. But he also seems like a relatively nice guy.
-
Uh?I was never going to post here but since it broke into this.
He asked ?Is this game right fore me?? there by stating that he wanted our opinions. Venge is doing just that, offering his opinion. He was given every right to say something like that when the question was posed.
If on the other hand it was a rhetorical question than it shouldn?t have been asked in the first place.
Me, I say. If you cannot get into it now than you need to practice your role-playing skills. Try finding a MUD/MMOG to practice in. That?s where I learned.
PM me for a list ;)
Off subject side note* I missed a trivia night! 8o
-
I hadnt thought about whether this game is right for him until you mentioned that I MUST have an opinion on him. Ahh forget it...
Its just a ludicrous bun fight. Refer back to the last line of my previous post.
