as with other mmorpg\'s half of the fun is exploring the huge world(for me at least)
so will planeshift have a huge world?
i know it is all underground and that to me seems kind of limiting. but with the progress the dev\'s made so far anything seems possible
compared to other mmorpg\'s how big do oyu think the world will be once the city gates are opened??
tell me wutcher thinkin
**edit** please dont take this as a diss to PS.. i absolutely adore it..

PS will eventually be huge. Yliakum (the stalactite) itself, is very large, 8 levels deep. Hydlaa is on the top level, and it is far from finished. Theres also the Stone Labyrinths wich lead to the surface, and then theres the \"A universe is not enough\" saying on the main site, thus the name \'Plane-shift\' suggesting there will be multiple planes or worlds/universes to explore. The Death Realm is probably one of these. So the answer is yes, Planeshift will be huge, but not likely any time soon.

will the gates be opened in CB or will we have just a few monsters to fight will we have even a little area to explore outside the citie?
-
What all we\'ll have to explore in CB is unknown, and the DEVs aren\'t saying. We\'ll have to wait til its released to see what areas we have to explore, but you can take a look at a short video they recorded that shows a bit of the town, a couple monsters, etc. in CB. You may have to download Divx to play the video.

In CB we will be able to leave the city(going into plains and such) to fight monsters, explore, etc.

does anyone have an inkling as to when CB comes out... rumor has it twill be pretty soon??
-
There will definitely be more to explore.
Release is said to be earliy August, probably(my guess) the end of first week/mid second week or so.
-
thats nice to know..
but your just basing this on?? expectancy?
-
I\'ve heard it all over. Forums, ingame...
-
i dunno.. sounds promising... and august is just around the corner
YAY FOR PLANESHIFT
-
Yeah. it should be good since CB is 8-9 months past it\'s original due date.
-
Well, anything about CB\'s release date is a rumour, but you could say its gonna come out pretty soon (please don\'t discuss this here, there are a million threads like it :P).
The splash screen for CB has been released and it features Ojaveda, the home village of the Enkidukai. So, by my guess, we will be able to visit this place. How many more cities it will have, I don\'t know. I think (and this is my personal guess) there will be at least an extended Hydlaa (and I say this because there are new parts shown on the movie), Ojaveda and plains connecting the two. There will also be the Arena, where there is open PvP fighting. Renders of it were shown in the interview with Luca. I don\'t know where it will be located though.
I am just hoping the team picks up some new artists and modelers so they can expand the world after CB.

Klyros will not be released with the main Crystal Blue release. They may be added later in an update and we can take requests for players to switch races. As for the name thing, that is something you would have to take up with Talad. We are trying to force a more RPG feel to it so having numbers in the name is not in that theme

Yessirree!
No one on the developing team is sqawkin\'!
I find that cool though, because no one is setting a standard or knowing what to expect....
OMG the suspense is killin\' me!!
-
i hope it is early august first time iv heard that rumour
-
Planeshift has a realy huge world. The stalactite alone is very big. You shouldnt wory about that.
But i think there will be no surface, Kadaikos is more interesting(and huge).
Some new areas in CB should be - sewers(look at the wallpaper), Ojaveda and the roads that connect Hydlaa and Ojaveda. Hope for more :)

He speaks the truth.
However, i doubt that the devs would make entirely new areas for different planes of existence. They may simply re-model things in different planes (living trees in the normal plane of existance may be a dead and/or decaying tree in the plane of death, for example) or put various things into new themes. You may explore the same area in each plane, but each plane would be totally different (in the \"dead\" plane you may fight the undead; \"fire\" plane, various fire-based enemies; the normal plane has a mix of eveything... etc etc.)
Or i could be entirely wrong. :P
Same with release dates. They can always change...
The Natural-Selection HL mod was delayed one week just before release, because \"two critical bugs needed to be squashed\" or some-such thing which was stated. So it is thinkable that the CB release may have some sort of \"critical error\" that may need fixing... even though people dont want to think of that happening, for obvious reasons. ;)
-
About the release date; don\'t expect anything at all. I remember when there was they stated that december was the month that cb would be released. Well... we are in July (almost august) ... And this is a rumor, which has less chances than the oficial statements to happen. Unless a developer created this rumor... which is highly unlikely.
About the world... the cave itself is HUGE, so huge that it can even have rain. Pretty big huh? :)
-
Yeah! Not to mention the sky is blue! When i say this im not questioning it\'s validity, i\'m stating it to demonstrate the altitude required to create a clear, blue sky.
If we\'re on the top floor of the Stalactyte, and i believe rain requires 300-600 feet of atmosphere to do it\'s magic. Not to mention the Blue sky thing...
It\'s like, all of a sudden... it turns out the giant stalactyte...... is actually................... a GIANT STALAGMYTE!!!! AHHHHH!!!!
-
One question... How did you come to the conclusion that it is a stalagmite? :P
I think the real great thing about CB is that they will be continuously adding content! :) Thanks to the updater by blueCommand (It was blueCommand who wrote it right? *fuzzy memory*)

Hmmm...
Is the cave just a piece of rock floating in space?
Or is it part of a larger rock floating in space? :)
It would be cool if the devs introduced a new strange world on the \"surface\" or something..
