I haven't played Planeshift in a while, but when I lagged around groups and did little other than chat, and buying from a npc was a nightmare.  Since then it may have improved greatly or world forge may just be horrible.  I've seen that it uses the Ogre engine on it's new client for graphics rendering and it looked nice.  I was wondering is the Linux version of Planeshift more stable (faster)?  I really would like to figure out the advantages because I'm interested in doing something.  Either way Planeshift doesn't seem to be very encouraging when it comes to setting up your own project, they allow it but they came to make there own game and they don't want everyone branching off.  That doesn't matter though, can anyone tell me why Planeshift is better, or why world forge isn't used now.
