Well, I figure if they came out at the same time they probably would have had to hold off on releasing one of them, and with the way some people have been itching (some not so politely) to play the game ASAP, they ended up releasing the first one they finished it seems. I guess patience is all it takes, even though it\'s been this long already - but hey, it\'s gotta be worth the wait. Maybe use the time to think of some cool roleplaying possabilities, or some deep character history.

Hey all,

I came across the same thing right as I updated the updater to 1.0.2.6, it all went black and I lost the mouse while it was over the screen. Also, ALL of the text seems to be staying on the screen, and covering over previous text - that goes for the file names and the percent completed as well, so it all becomes a big blur. Is this also happening to anyone else?
How can I fix this, what should I do? Since there seem to be many others that are playing it now, and there are no more red words saying the server is down, I\'m running this through to completion in hopes that it will perhaps solve the problem or at LEAST let me hopefully finally be able to play the game. Yeah, I had the luck to download it and be extremely wrapped up in it on FRIDAY NIGHT, heheheh.
Hopefully this goes well. I\'m going cross country in the morning as well, so won\'t have access again until Saturday.

Take care and good luck all. Most of all - THANK YOU DEVS and everyone else involved in the game!!

I\'m new too, and still haven\'t been able to get on along with the rest of the gamers - but the reason is in rather obvious (but somehow far-too-often-missed) big red letters at the top of the board, saying the server is down.
They\'re doing a massive update, so it should be done within the next couple of days or so is my completely-clueless guess (so people don\'t take this as an official estimate), if that, because they\'re doing some really big stuff I guess. You can find more info at http://laanx.fragnetics.com/ and http://www.planeshift.it/main_01.html
I haven\'t been able to actually play it yet, but from what I understand from reading the player\'s guide (which answers most of your questions, it\'s a rather quick read too) there aren\'t actually \'classes\', that\'s just the \'short way\' of deciding your skill levels. As for everything else, go ahead and check out the player\'s guide at the second link, it\'ll help a lot.

Hope this helps.

Wow.

I don\'t know if this would be the best place to put this thread, but it really is support, and it is about problems/annoying bugs, but not of the in-game kind. It is however going to be much more board-worthy than some of the posts I have seen thus far.
I\'m a completely new user as well, on top of it one who actually had the luck to get extremely hooked on the game and download it on Friday night - so I have yet to play it as well, and am excitedly awaiting the time that the servers reconnect. On top of it though I\'ll be going cross-country tomorrow, so I\'ll actually be waiting for at least a week or more to try this incredibly enticing game.
However, I am absolutely floored by the complete disregard for...anything humane by some of the posters. I don\'t know if this will be seen as a \'pointless post\' or \'spam\' of a sort, but I DEFINITELY THINK that ALL OF THE INCREDIBLE people that put their own personal FREE TIME into this game need to be given a lot of support from the gamers who so love their game - even those who haven\'t played it yet. I can\'t believe what you\'ve had to put up with - a lot of people would have just said \'Y\'know what? FINE then, you\'ll get NOTHING\' after the harrassment (intentional and non-intentional) that you\'ve put up with.
I just want to be able to thank all of you at once for putting all of your free time into this game, and people that are juggling full-time jobs, college, AND a family DEFINITELY know that free time is a veryvery hard thing to come by as it is! I just felt with all of the frustration I\'m sure you\'ve had to put up with, it\'d be nice and welcome to have some support of your own. I\'ve worked on things where I\'ve put a major portion of my life into it but barely anyone showed real appreciation/recognition for it. Just letting all of you know that you are greatly, immensely appreciated for all of the hard work you put into this game.
I\'m sure countless others would agree with me, especially those who\'ve actually been with this game longer and played with it, experienced how much you\'ve put into it. So, to wrap this up: there\'s some support for yourselves.

Thank you all.

Allo all,

So does anyone know just how MUCH was being updated anyway? This seems like quite a long time - it\'s only a few more hours until Tuesday, when they said that they\'d have it finished on Sunday (saying it would be down for the weekend).

Does anyone have any insight as to when the servers might be back up again? I\'m also a new player who had the utmost luck of finding it and being incredibly drawn in, and extreeeeemely excited to get started and play it when? Friday night/Saturday morning.
This seems like a preeetty long \'weekend\', so I was just wondering if there was a whole LOT they were fixing, and most importantly:
if anyone knows exactly when this might be back up?

Thanks.
