It really has been a long time since I played and I been on a bit here and there.

I was wondering who here still plays PS that I may know?

So far I have seen 1 person on the forums, which is Gag, and 1 person in game which is Sanxx.

BTW, I will mostly be on as Sirra Fudra. So hit me up if you are on :3.

Yikes  I have not played PS in years. I recenetly returned only to play for a few hours here and there. I am going to give my 2 cents, not to start a flame, but just to put things in perspective of how I view this game.

Planeshift: Crystal Blue was my first time playing an mmorpg. I was super excited because I had always wanted to play a game that had interaction with a bunch of people like the real world. It was fun at first, till I spent 2 years playing it and noticed updates where lacking, and players where leaving left and right. Now keep in mind, most well known good games take 3 - 6 years to make. I spent those 2 years playing back when I was 18. I am 24 now. On top of that, I heard it's been in development for years before I even started playing.

I have been told the line "They work on it in their free time". That is totally understandable. However, what I am getting at is, this game has no future at all. It's been in development for 8+ years. It is no where near completion. At the current rate of creation, and the goal for what the game is suppose to be, the main creators would be dead before the game is completed.

Now here is another thought. The game machanics are absolutly horrible. Why the developers decided to use this game engine, really makes no sense. I mean how much thought was put into that choice? Ontop of that, the game itself is just boring. I could design a house and build it using cow crap and invite some of the most exceiting people in the world there. It's only going to be fun till they leave, no one is going to want to stay once they are gone. Planeshift is crap, and the only thing that makes it good is the players playing it. It may sound harsh, but this is reality.

20 - 30 years from now I can see virtual reality. Maybe even less time. Heck, Sony has a patent on an idea to use frequencies to simulate all 5 senses. They have already been seccesful in being able to create a device to move objects on a screen with your mind.

This game stands no chance in the future, because it's only a matter of time someone makes a game similar but 100x better.

Ya I have been using my time well, I studied Telecommunications and got my fiber optic technician cert. Now I am in Long Beach City College for Computer Science ... ya I live in California now. I still can't seem to get PS working here or at the college. I will keep trying though.

Hello everyone,

I really have no idea if any players I know are still here, but I am thinking of playing the game again sometime soon. For those of you who do not know me, I am Swivles, Winnry, Lillie, and Bradd in the game. I do not remember if I had gotten rid of any of my characters, so I may come in as a different character. I think it's been over 3 years or longer since I last played.

I agree with zanz ... this is just getting stupid ... so far nothing has been proven other then the fact that somone here has an oppinion. How ever I am still wating to hear this thing about the number 1. Oh yes and about that two things are equal thing ... umm I beleive they explained that on What the Bleep do we know?. That lab thing they talked about ... you see two objects .. 1 in one glass and another in the other glass, but they are equal because they are really one object but you see two, or there really is two objects and there just linked too each other ... either way you see 2 and there equal ... so I think that works for me. Though I some how think im wrong.

I watched the video actually, it is definitely interesting but it does not have anything to do with psionics, if someone may please elaborate for me what it has to do with it .. I will listen. From what I understand is that we see what we want to see and what we know. I already knew this in some sense but learned a lot more about it. The only thing i can see how these to are related is it just makes it possible but does not mean it is, basically there is no proof to it still. Now could you walk on water if you believed you could? I am not sure .. tell that to the people who believed they could fly and plummeted to the ground. Though the ones who tried that where not sane, so I guess it doesn't count so I will be a bit more open minded. How ever I will admit the video made a lot of sense.


I am going to try to give some of you a basic understanding of what this video is telling us.
Go outside ... look around, now think about all the times you have gone outside where you stand, have you ever actually stood there to notice everything. Look harder.
I guarantee you will see something you did not know was there. Such as when you go outside you have a wide vision of everything you see yet you only notice what you want to see, what about the sky that is in your vision, what about the trees, the grass, the animals, the buildings, the ground, the lights ... do you notice all these things at the specific moment you look outside ..... no, you have to think about it to notice it.

Here is another example .... you have a hat, you put it on your head. Later that day your looking for your hat and cannot find it ... you walk into the bathroom looking for your hat ...it's not there .. you continue looking and can't find it anywhere when you finally realize it is on your head already. Now what you don't realize is when you walked into the bathroom you had a clear view of the mirror yet you are not going to look in a mirror for a hat now are you .. so even though you saw it you didn't because that's not where your mind is focused at.

The other part of it is talking about real quantum physics, I can't explain it exactly, much to hard. That's where I suggest you watch the video. Cause from what i gathered there is that pretty much everything you think is real exists .. anything you think is possible is possible .. like if you truly believe you can walk on water you can. In this case if I completely understood it then I would say psionics is 90% possible, but I am not going to include this in there as I need it to be explained more and even though I'm into science this is where it goes beyond my comprehension.

Hope that makes sense, so you may not think psionics are real .... but how can you be sure if you mind can not comprehend it so you do not see it. So what this shows is that it is possible, but when you include all other science as well as this one it also denies the possibility of this. So either science is wrong, or current theories which happens a lot and we just do not understand it all or it just does not exist. In other words psionics has a 90% chance that it's not real but a 10% chance that it is.

How did I get these results, well it's very simple, the only proof we have even with quantum physics of psionics is that people say they can do it which I would give it 10% chance.
Now I did say I am a BIT more open minded about it, and yes I am because with out this theory on quantum physics I had a 0% chance of believing it.

The last thing is the part at which I did not understand, tihs is like one of those theorys that cannot be recorded as of yet.

*edit*

I am going to take a look at the video, it's so strange but this always happends to me .. I talk about somthing and I end up hearing it everywhere there after. At work somone  mentioned that video that is posted here. It's also the same with words .. I learn a new word and my family and the peope I am around all of a sudden start using that word even though they never have before. When somthing like this happends I always have to look into it more.

That's actually very common. I forget the word for it, but basically your brain tends to block out small things that it doesn't understand. You're actually hearing and seeing these things all the time, you're just not aware of it because you forget about it almost instantaneously. But once you do understand it, your brain registers these things, so it appears that suddenly everyone's talking about it, whereas really it's just you that finally gets what everyone's talking about.

They say that only about 10% of what we experience is actually stored in our memory - the rest is as if it never happened.

Sorry for the double post ahead of time. Yes this is exactly what is described in the video pretty much, the words may be used everyday, but since you do not have a understanding of the word you just do not hear it. If that is the case with hearing .. then I would say the same goes with all senses. Which makes the video very plausible .. well some parts at least.

[ Don't apologize for a double-post: just don't make one. Please "Modify" your first post to add more information next time :> --Karyuu ]

Yes but that is completly different from what im talking about, everyone sees things differently or most do. Cahnging what you see has absolutly no effect on others but yourself, thats my point.

Also that whole baby thing ... I see what you mean but thats again not the type of energy there talking about lol.
