»Step 1:To play PlaneShift you have to download one of the files below depending on your platform, and then register a new account.
After filling in and submitting the registration form, you will receive an email with a link to the activation page. If you don't see it in your inbox, try checking Spam/Junk mail folders, as it may get filtered out sometimes.
»Step 2:When the download is done, find the file on the desktop or wherever you chose to save it (it is called “PlaneShift Crystal Blue 0.3.014b” - if you can't find the file, just put that filename into the search function in Windows [Start Menu -> Search ]) and double-click it.
This will launch the installer and give you a very easy to understand walkthrough, if you just bother to read the text which gets displayed on the screen :]
When the game is installing (it says that it is copying a lot of files, and it shows a lot of %'s ), wait for it to finish. This should take a few minutes.
»Step 3:When the installer is done and closed, open up your Start Menu, go into Programs, and find the PlaneShift Crystal Blue folder - and in there, you run the application called “PlaneShift Updater”. This is a pretty much automated process once you click the “Update” button, and when it is finally done downloading the newest updates, you will be able to click a button that lets you run the actual PlaneShift game client.
While waiting for the updater to finish its work, I would suggest you read the Player Guide and browse through a few stickies found in the various forum sections, if you haven't done so already. Just something to pass the time for now.
»Step 4:Enter your account informations in the two fields within the game client (login is your email, password is the one you chose during account creation), and click on the “Ok” button.
»Step 5:Enjoy!
