Hello everybody
« on: April 13, 2004, 03:44:57 pm »
Well It\'s time to say hi to everyone :-)

Planeshift looks quite promising as a MMORPG, and I hope the whole project will be succesful.  Right now I\'m playing EVE Online, and I like it a lot. Maybe Planeshift will be my second best? ;-)

Anyways I\'ve got few questions.

First of all I\'m not gonna ask when CB will be out :-D Couse I think even the DEV\'s don\'t have ETA on it (even commercial games have problems with this). But I would like to know when was the last update released - the current one.

Secondly is my thinking is correct that there will be PvP only in arenas and specially designed places? So if I go to kill some spiders or something I can be totaly safe from PC\'s?

Another thing - the guilds, and proffesions. During character creation there are only non-combat ones. Why is that? I\'m bit affraid that Planeshift will be even too safe. I know that I can have some fun being a baker or miner, but its just bit of fun.
I think that the biggest driving force of almost every MMORPG is to train your skills, get best armors, swords, tachyons ;-) to be more powerful (hopefully than other players) and to be able fight some PC\'s.
I know that where is PvP there are griefers, but on the other hand when there is no risk, any game can become very boring. How much fun can you get in arena?  

Don\'t get me wrong I\'m not mad PK\'er type. In EVE my character is dedicatet scientist. I have poor combat skills, although I\'m more than 5 months in the game. But that does not stop me from having lots of fun taking my ship and kill hordes of NPC\'s, and even noob PC pirates wannabees :-D
Of course when I ecounter real PK\'er I\'m in much much much trouble, but hey It makes game very interesting.

There will only be PvP if both parties agree (more like a duel), so you will be safe from PKers.
Since \'killing shit\' isn\'t really a profession, all the professions are indeed non-combat ones. You can still train your combat skills though. If you want more excitement you could challenge players to a duel, everyone likes a fair duel, or you could fight stronger monsters.

There will also be Guild Wars, FYI. :) This (and what Skizzik said) are confirmed, so anything else you hear is just a rumour. :)



Edit: Just realised, this is my 2004th post. :)

Thanks for the answers :-)

I\'m allright with \"controlled\" PvP. It will be a bit diffrent experience.

Still can anybody say when was molecular blue released?

And one more:

Will there be overall goal (or goals) to achive in planeshift? Like will it be to have best guild, or to became king of some kingdom, or is it totally up to us to decide? ;]

Welcome to PlaneShift :) Enjoy your stay with us and may your path be made of light!

Yes it looks very promising?
But will it live up to its title?
I have confidence in the developers! Take as much time as you guys need we have waited this long already, no harm in waiting a little longer :D

That\'s the best thing about MMORPG\'s: there is no goal, only an open book with a blank page. ;)



Btw, EVE Online is an mmorpg.  Google it.
The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM
