Hello I'm looking for a new mmo to play. I'm really excited to try out planeshift because of the way the role playing is setup. I've read and agree to all the rules and that's all great.

I've just got really bad timing. The servers are down so I can't do anything right now    So I started reading the forums and found the topic about deleting chars. That very bad. I've never like turn based games at all so I wanted to ask a few questions before I decided to not even try the game.

I haven't read anything that makes the game sound turn based but deleting everyone's chars because some people managed to cheat. Isn't that a little harsh? The last update in that thread was in Feb of 07. How much longer until the 1.0 release is out? Is the plan still 100% delete everyone s char or does the player base have any say in it?

How often does this happen?


Thanks for the answers. I've played to many mmo's to keep up with them all and I don't want to invest my time into one if I know its going to be getting reset. I really hope that if the char wipe is eminent that it happens soon. I could use some time to get used to the game. If its still along ways off I don't know if i'll wait.

Keep in mind i'm a noob here I just found out about the game last night so if i've said anything thats not correct or out dated please feel free to let me know.
