[I know, the drawing kinda sucks when seen that large. Looks good when printed in 300dpi though (Yes, I drew it)]

Performance has improved and people with lower end equipment can play PS of course, the only thing is that we don't support it. The hydlaa problems are being looked into and were getting closer!  

Thing is that we guarentee that it will work on that hardware, we cant guarantee itl work on a P3 766mhz

PS: A c2d 1.3Ghz meets the recommended requirements and exceeds the minimums by about 3-4 times (However at 2 cores its not AS good for Planeshift as the Pentium D)  

Your logic is quite flawed considering that the CPU intensive tasks of PS run in only 1 thread mostly. (except the loading of maps and things which usually doesn't happen (much) as long as you stay within 1 sector)
modern CPUs' 1.33GHz of one core may be rated like 1.5GHz, but the amount of cores won't be of much use with only 1 thread (which does the heavy work). Even if you have 1000 cores of 100MHz (which, with your logic, would exceed the recommended settings ~400 times)
You can not simply do "GHz multiplied by cores".

Hello there everyone.
I've had some occasional modelling practice in the past months. I didn't really do that much though as I am currently focusing on improving my (non existing) drawing skills.

However, I shall present you some few things I made and I hope to get some comments too. 

Here we have a very low-poly bludgeon. I made it for a little fun game in the blender game engine. (The unfinished game is some collaborative work of the #smc channel on freenode)
The bludgeon also has a normal and an AO map.


"breakable" table and chair. Was also meant for that little game.



And a crossbow which uses "fists" instead of arrows -- a "punchbow"  (also for that game)



They are all very low-poly - meant for game engines/realtime environments - and use normal and AO maps.

Oh, and an unfinished cougar (mountain lion): (unrelated to that aforementioned game)
It's currently TOO low poly at the shoulder blades area but I planned to fix that issue rather later than earlier (during animation to see where exactly more geometry is needed).
It's skinned and rigged (for animation). The texture isn't final - more some preview kind of thing.

Looks like he took off a layer too much 

I always have to chuckle reading that MOTD...
..I mean.. in order to craft you still have to level. It's really a paradox.

Why creating a duplicate topic instead of reviving one (that was made for exactly that (or maybe not)):

does it also happen if you disable sound in pssetup?

I went to the link Tuxide dropped, and first entry in thread directed me to another thread, which seems to be on the old forum maybe?  Either way, it would not open there.  While the thread Tuxide dropped was a good start, it did not appear to be updated recently.

Yes, the old forum doesn't automatically forward to the new forum.
However, if you have an old link (like the one in the forementioned topic), just replace the "hydlaa.com" in the link (in your address bar) with "hydlaaplaza.com" and you will see that topic on the new forum.
