When I started this game I was directed here by a group of players in a community I host.
I am not used to the RP rules in this game I understand now that this game is to be played with the D&D rules that I thought had died years ago.
I found the internal gameplay potential to be more fluid and engrossing than any I have seen with a perpesctive that can be cycled from the outward looking down upon your toon (ingame persona) to the viewpoint of the toons eyes.

Wile the initial shock and learning curve can be overwealimg at times the rewards of the completion and interaction leave the player with a repetive trial and reaward cycle.

The admins stand up for themselves and are very active and just.

Anyway the reason for the post is to say I will be posting about you guys in sevral places and I will try and get you guys a  little more publicity.

Thanks got a great game
Good luck.

Yaknow it took me nearly 3 days to get unstuck in the tutorial and then I turned around to find a game master standing in frount of me saying my name wasnt ok.
So i went down a list of 4 or 5 names and none of them were acceptable in your world then I actually went so far as to make up letters just to get into the game
I was even told Kicka Tima wouldnt work ( a couple of words i thought I made up) and that was still rejected.

You guys dont really expect for such a strict namimg policy is going to work out in a world of millions of players?
I even tried something in my native language and the person didnt know what it meant but it wasnt original enuf...

Anyway sorry for being rude but I havent been put off by the initial crunch of learning a game since the days of fpsers .
Ill come back and play later maybe but Im going to delete my guys first i guess ill name my self
Hnahavsd Jafanba

Sorry for the spam..
I was told this would help
This is my log..

(18:42:37) Sittingbull says: hello
(18:43:41) Abelia Aruine says: Welcome to PlaneShift! I'm here to help you learn about movement and how to use your camera and other controls. Come closer, and say Hi.
(18:44:12) Sittingbull says: hi
(18:44:17) Abelia Aruine says: Hello, and welcome to Planeshift! You can just ask me to give you the tutorial, or, the more traditional phrase around here, 'give me a quest.'
(18:44:39) Sittingbull says: give me a quest
(18:44:41) Abelia Aruine says: Good job, and hello to you as well! I am Abelia Aruine and I am here to help you. Before you may enter the world of PlaneShift, you will need to learn a few basic things about the game from the five people here and perform some helpful tasks for them. We will try to make it entertaining!
(18:44:44) -Abelia makes a graceful bow to you.-
(18:44:51) Abelia Aruine says:  I think it will be possible for you to complete this tutorial in a short time. I will show you the most basic items, and then I will send you on to another lady who will tell you about more interesting things!
(18:44:52) -Abelia smiles.-
(18:45:00) Abelia Aruine says:  So! Are you ready to go on? Make sure I am highlighted and type 'yes' in the NPC tab of your chat box. You must always have me targeted so that I may hear your words. Oh, and the word yes by itself is fine, one does not need the ' marks.
(18:45:27) Sittingbull says: yes
(18:45:29) Abelia Aruine says: Very good! Now, in a few moments you will see an announcement that you have received a quest. Quests are tasks and jobs that you may perform for townspeople such as me in return for rewards, experience or status. Some are simple, such as fetching a snack for a hungry worker, and others are much longer and more challenging to complete. One might be required to speak with many different people in the course of a longer quest.
(18:45:30) -Abelia smiles at you.-
(18:45:45) Abelia Aruine says:  But you have learned how to speak with me already, and the same arrangement will work with any other NPC  in the game. We are characters controlled by the PlaneShift computer and may be recognized as such by the sky-blue names above our heads. There will be green-labeled characters in the game as well, and they are Player Characters. Sir Xargon will help you with that part later! Are you ready to learn more? Just tell me 'yes' when you are.
(18:46:37) Sittingbull says: yes
(18:46:39) Abelia Aruine says: Very good, you have the hang of speaking with me now! You may have noticed the message saying that you got a quest. The game keeps track of your open and completed quests, you can click on the toolbar icon 'Quests' to see which ones are open or completed. Please do that now and let me know when you are ready.
(18:54:41) Sittingbull says: yes
(18:54:43) Abelia Aruine says: Okay, great, you can check the same window later on. Let's now talk a little bit about movement so that you will be able to do some exploring! You have already learned how to move, using mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard. 'Up' for walking forward, 'down' for moving backward, and the left and right arrows turn you.
(18:54:45) -Abelia grins.-
(18:54:53) Abelia Aruine says:  In addition I will give you a tip: if you get stuck somewhere due to some game bug, you will want to type /unstick to return you to a safe location. When you are done giving things a try, select me and tell me that you are ready for more.
(18:55:11) Sittingbull says: yes
(18:55:13) Abelia Aruine says: As a general rule if you will say the last thing an npc told you to say it will work to make the dialogue proceed. Common triggers might be "about x" or "give me Y".
