(Yesterday next to the harnequist, a meeting between the demi-god Xael and two GMs Hance and *forget the other* occurred.) Many Citizens gathered to hear what was to be said and see the feats to performed. Kaiisan was lucky enough to get a front-row seat on the event and mentioned about the meteor glyph she had seen while snooping around downstairs in  the magic shop. \"Ah yes,\" said Xael \"We are working on a powerful glyph in the Red Way which will be released soon. It is still far too powerfull however. . .\" Now- This got the whole gathering buzzing with anticipation and they all decided they could not wait to see this new magic attack. Someone soon stepped up as a volunteer and Hance was surrounded by a red aura as he chanted in some ancient tongue. All of a sudden the sky opened up and a rock the size of a fairly good sized refrigerator landed atop the victim, shrouded in a hazey orange flame. Need I say- he was sent straight to the DR . After everyone had adjusted their dropped, awe-struck jaws and overcome their startlement, Hance and Xael were flooded with messages of pure eccstatic joy which continued for many hours into the morning. . .

Now OOC- I had the most amazing dream last night! I dreamt (as I often do) That I was playing PS and the NPC server was on. Chatting to one of my good friends while hacking at a rogue I discovered a new command which could teleport your character to anywhere in the game . .  ofcourse- this made going from Akkaio to Hydlaa a simple process, and that in itself was something great! however- I began to understand the almost limitless possibilities of this New Command and entered a position value for well off the map somewhere in the unknown world out there. I arrived in a dark land shrouded in black smog. The ground around me was obsidian and onyx and the sky was occasionally litt up by an irregular orange flash and a roar. I made out the shape of two steep faces to either side of me, suggesting I was at the bottom of a canyon somewhere. I decided to walk along the path to explore my surroundings, while sending a /tell to the friend explaining this amazing new place. He sent one back saying I shouldn\'t have left the map- as the dev team where still working on the levels outside the known area. Just before I could send one back- I was interrupted as skidded to a halt in front of a vast ocean of molten lava, sluggishly making it\'s way down the canyon trail I was standing in. I wasn\'t about to wait around and see what woud happen if it got me, but before I could teleport out of there I saw a red glyph lying at the side of the road, under a rocky out-crop. I grabbed it without hesitation and teleported my ass out of there!

Back in akkiao I decided to investigate my loot and noticed that the glyph I had found was a meteor glyph like the one in the magic shop. I was eccsatic! I put it in the purify slot, praying it wouldn\'t take too long. . . It did. . . several hours later  after my anticipation had reached a peak purification was complete and I experimented with the new glyph.

NOW! IF METEOR WASN\"T ENOUGH!?!?!!! The meteor glyph could combine with lvl 1 glyphs to make new spells! First of all I combined it with fire to make \'Fireball\' a devastating red way spell! I then tried it with an ice glyph to create \'Bale\' An orb of orange light doing both fire and ice damage, then I combined it with a weakness glyph, making \'taste of death\' A black haze which weakens enemies from a distance.

Soon after I woke up. . .

WOW I CAN FINALLY SEE STUFF!!!!
I should add- put a space between the Target line (C:\\program files\\Planeshift Crystal Blue\\psclient.exe) etc. and the \'fullbright\'. Otherwise you\'ll just get a message saying \"Check command line is correct\" or some such.

Enjoy your enhanced vision!

Could someone please explain to me how to change a mirror? I tried changing the \'1\' to a 3 and now my updater crashes before it can download the registry

You should be able to buy a shortcut out of the Death Realm from him. I think 100 tria would be a fair price!

I tried to do a search but couldn\'t find anything related although I know this has probably been discussed a billion times before I\'m gonna ask because I really want to play.

When I first open Planeshift I get to the login screen which asks you to enter your e-mail address and password but I can never get any further than this, I click ok and it tries to connect saying \'please wait\' Then after a while I get a message saying \'the server is not running or is unreachable, check the website or forums for more details.\' I think it has something to do with the Fragnetix server status at Fail 100%. I\'ve tried to connect many times, giving it a few hours encase the server is just down or something (In which case there\'s probably another 1000 Noobs like me asking the same question) but even after a few hours I have the same problem. Selfish though it is- It would be comforting to know everyone else is experiencing the same thing and that it\'s not just me. . .

Yeah . . .Shoulda searched first.

I\'ve done a search but I still have one question though, is the bottom bar the overall percentage completed? If it is then I\'m screwed, it\'s been on 0% for about 3 hours, still downloading art zip files.

Oh wow! just looked again before i posted! it\'s on 4% now! And it\'s doing 8.0kb/s!

Oh . . . back down to 1.0kb/s . . .

I\'m so impatient! I\'ve wanted to play for AGES!!!

It\'ll be worth it, I know it!

Hey I\'m also downloading the client and Had a few concerns about character creation. Is there a certain race which is best balanced with stats and skills which can be learned? I thought human, but those ice guys with wings look like they\'re pretty balanced. Oh yeah, another few things- how many of the races can you play as at this stage of the game? and I\'ve heard about a map editor/creator, what\'s with that?
