maybe you\'d have to buy expensive stuff like bricks and other things to build the building....or maybe we could have a builder profession??

There could be a java IRC applet in this forum so that the devs have a single place to hang around and so that they will be more tied to the forum ...dunno just thought it would make things better

Well,that\'s quite interesting.Whatever the case,I love the Planescape style and architecture.By talking about similarities I don\'t mean identities...I mean that both games follow the same exotic design.It\'s hard to explain it\'s characteristics,since I usually call it Torment-style :)
I just hope the devs carry on with this direction in design.

Greetings,Mogura.
I suspected that part of the reason why everybody was silent about this amazing \'coincidence\',if you wish to call it so,is because not that many people have actually played Planescape:Torment.For all those who didn\'t,here is what the people who played it said:

Just to quote something notable from that thread:
?Of course, the dialogue isn\'t of the intricate depth and quality of Planescape: Torment?
-Pseudo Nim,Reviewer on FF8(http://www.game-over.net/review/feb2000/ff8/)
Put simply,Planescape:Torment is the king of RPGs...it is a masterpiece,and so we fans of the Planescape were amazed when we noticed PlaneShift(I alerted the community as soon as I found out).Although we are in doubt whether a masterpiece such as Planescape:Torment can possibly emerge,I personally would like to see the exotic designs of the Planescape in a MMORPG-and much more importantly the masterfully woven storyline and dialogues.Moving away from Planescape influnce would be in my opinion a bad thing-Planescape was a strike of lightning which broke the mould in the RPG world,so since PlaneShift seems to have taken up quite some Planescape style,it would be a pity to discard the chance to revive this winning formula.

I\'m a newbie to this forum but not gaming.And especially not to RPGs.I have played Planescape:Torment for over 300-400 hours and I am a great fan.So when I was looking in the gamespot beta center page and found this game,I couldn\'t help but notice the striking resemblance it\'s setting bears to the planescape universe.The building architecture and even the old-style,dark textures remind me of Planescape.In particular the city of Yliakum is just like Sigil in Planescape:Torment.
And yet there is no mention of the fact that PlaneShift seems to draw from the Planescape universe...not by the devs on their official site,in any case.Personally I would like to encourage the devs to draw even more from Planescape Torment...since that game was a real jewel...as a *true* RPG.

The question is:Why are the devs and all the fans a bit silent about this PlaneScape-PlaneShift resemblance?
