Greetings from Silverblade
« on: April 16, 2006, 08:51:58 am »
Hi there!

I just thought I should introduce (or re-introduce) myself, as I feel like a newbie to the game. I spent a lot of time here about 3 or 4 years ago, but havent been back for ages. When I was here, the community was very active, but there wasnt much in-game. We were all creating and joining guilds, and role-playing alliances and enemies, just on the forums alone. All we could do in-game was walk (The animation looked more like we were ice-skating) around this courtyard sort of area and talk to other Player Characters. And if I remember correctly, I think the male dwarf was the only character model available so we all looked identical.

So, how is the game coming along now? Is it at a stage where you can play it regularly without running out of things to do?

As I said, I havent been here for at least 3 years, so don\'t know much, but I remember these forums were always fun, and i\'m gonna download the game to see for myself how it looks.

Welcome back, Silverblade :) It\'s always nice to see people returning after a long hiatus to check on PlaneShift\'s status.

Things have definitely changed - and while I wouldn\'t necessarily say that it\'s hard to not run out of things to do, spending your time in the game can be quite entertaining. Combat is the main activity using game mechanics, but mining and crafting will be the next big thing - and crafting is nearly done. Roleplay is always encouraged, and we\'re going to have more GM-run events real soon :) That\'s a promise to everyone.

The community is still very strong, which I really love. To me it was and is PlaneShift\'s main attraction. But definitely hop in-game and see the changes for yourself - the world has grown, there are more characters running around (and variations and items for them will be growing rapidly), and I\'d say that this is a pretty interesting period of growth for the game.

It\'s certainly improved ;)

Well, it\'s an improvement! How about the landscape bugs?

Look forward to seeing you guys in game...

Landscape bugs? Well, people don\'t fall through the floor as much, although you\'ll hear an episode once a month or so ;) At least we have the /unstick command if your character gets into an odd unmovable position.

Correction, you could have spammed Fireofsoul when he was a GM ;)

8o

Hey there Silverblade!  Never expected to see you around here again.  I\'d type more but it\'s getting close to 5am so I\'m afraid of what I might say.  Good to see you, though.

Haha! Hi there!

Good to see a name that I recognize!

I was looking around at some guilds before, to see if there were any old ones... couldn\'t seem to find any that I remembered though.

Was it you that created the BISM? Whatever happened to that?

:D Welcome back to planeshift Silverblade. From what I hear from oldbie\'s, alot of them say planeshift has changed in a large way. Some good and some bad. I guess it is up to you to decide. I hope you enjoy the changes and see you in game ....
