Let me give you all a few thoughts on mobile PS

I have a Windows 8.1 tablet, fully capable of running PS, and I do on occasion. I tried playing it with the touch movement function enabled, and using the onscreen keyboard, and it was........barely playable, at best. Finite functions would not work, such as training, pvp, or typing up lengthy sentences in a short time.

It was fun, though.

I have managed to attach a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and that's a lot more fun. However, Android or iOS architecture will not support full functionality at this time.


So while it might sound like fun, it really is best when using a system with full input capability.

Well, what do you think about this:

What would you do with PS on a 3DS?

Obvious: Play it.

Not Obvious:
The story behind me wanting this to happen, is the fact a friend of mine dosn't have a PC. This essentially means he cannot play PS, even though he wants to. Also, the fact that I work a LOT and still live with my parents, sad to say. Can't have friends over after certain times, and we usually go hang somewhere until 4am. This being said, I don't have a portable PC...

It's not even so much for the sake of practicality.  I'd hazard a guess that, from the Dev Team's perspective, it's coding time and effort that's better spent improving the existing game client.

Hell, I'll put up the work if need be. I just need a push in the right direction.

So, I have heard that someone is developing a Homebrew Channel for the 3DS. This got me thinking...

What if someone made a PlaneShift client for the 3DS or even the Older DS systems, through an R4 card or otherwise?

I've been entertaining this idea for some time, and I've yet to come to a conclusion about it. Would I be the only one interested in this, or would it get some (more competant than I) programmers to help me with my cause, or possibly push me in the right direction?

Either way, I will start drawing up (albeit crappily done) concept artwork for both the 3DS and the DS versions, and post them when I am happy with their looks.

Animal Crossing players might notice that I'm taking a page from their tomes as to how the lower screen will be handled. This might or might not change, depending on how everything turns out.

Guild house auctions are not very frequent, but there will be such an auction in less than 3 weeks.

As there is no upper limit, some guilds offered incredibly large amounts of tria during past auctions. Therefore, some attempts have been made to award houses on a pure RP basis, but that somehow did not work well so far.

Dang. And it seems the one being auctioned off isn't even close to a desirable one...
