There must be something we can do to help...

[Tapo]

When somepeople or someone does something extremely good/nice, it is in my nature to express the greatest of thanks. So maybe, I was wondering, since the PS devs are doing this non-profit and all, and a great job at that for a free game, maybe us players, can help them out. I was wondering if there is any way we can advertise this game around... get more people in on it, perhaps make some donations to the dev team? Maybe this might speed along the creation process... I dunno, I was just wondering. What do u ppl think?

[Moogie]

Something that has been discussed a thousand times before. Devs don\'t take donations. And people can help by becoming regular contributors/developers (emphasis on regular... it\'s more of a hinderance to have loads of people do one task and then disappear forever after).

[Zeraph]

Well I think the Dev\'s do not visit the Fan Art very often, which is a shame considering there is a lot of nice artwork & ideas, also some potential 3D Dev\'s if they get better....

lol, I think I started the \"3D)\" thing... (not sure)

some of the stuff needs UV mapping but other then that it\'s a good start..

I think as CB is released the dev team will be accepting more help.  For now I think they are just trying to get PS to a bit of a foundation from which they can really build off of.  I think a large team at this point would really be more of a hindrance than a help.  

This does present an idea though.  Moogie emphasized that the devs were really only interested in those who contributed regularly.  What if someone organized a website that would simply post some things that the devs need done, and as people want to do them they can.  The only real member of the dev team involved with this would be the person organizing it.  I don\'t know, maybe it\'s a dumb idea.  I plan on trying to contribute regularly (if they will let me) anyway so I\'m really not too concerned.

Yes, Zeraph, I too think the devs should check the fan art more often.  Though, for now, I\'m content with them simply making PS to begin with.  And yes, you did start the 3D) thing.  When I posted my ptero model you are who I got it from.

ArcaneFalcon...
Isn\'t that what Laanx\'s Wheel of Wishes is for?

[ArcaneFalcon]

It\'s a similar idea, yes, and would probably serve the purpose well.  LWoW at the moment, however, is just a place kind of like this that people can simply post their fan art.  The devs aren\'t going to Orogor (at least lately anyway) with a list of some simple meshes that they need done which are going to be passed on to those who have some spare time.

Zeraph, I\'m sure they\'ll get around to the fan art thread after CB is released to us mere mortals.
I imagine they are extraordinarily busy at present.

OT: Zeraph, check your pms buddy.

Ok, the noobness is flowing... oh yeah... feel the noobness.
anyways...
About spreading the news of planeshift here are some of my ideas.

- We could get onto other mmorpgs that have poor graphics or poor content and start talking about how great planeshift is ( because it is great ^_^).
      some mmorpgs we could spread the news on:
         - Rs ( the game that shall not be named, lol)
                 why?- the game that shall not be named has very poor quality graphics and people will often get very sick of it.
         - text based mmorpgs
               why?- because those people dont see any graphics and bringing them to planeshift will be a major change for the good.

another idea-
- Go onto frequently used sites that have forums on them such as certian search engines, and once again talk about how good planeshift is ( because it is ^_^)
       why?: because lots of people come to those sites and many people would see the posts about planeshift.

well those are my ideas, and heck what do i know? im just a noob. lol.

Players from RS are hardly the target audience for Planeshift. Beside that it is not very polite to advertise in a game for another game.

Why do you want to spread the word about Planeshift? There are lots and lots of people already here and believe me there will be a looooot more once CB is out. So you better try not to spread the word if you want a server that isnt crowded to the top

----

I am really curious how much of a jump we will see in the development process once CB is out, since there are so many people waiting to join the dev team and bring in some great stuff (like Zeraphs Klyros model ).

[Moogie]

Yeah, and crowded to the top with the typical MMORPG powerlevers, no less... we can do without those, thanks.


We don\'t like other people advertising here, so its expected that we don\'t go out and do it to other people. It would make us look desperate anyway, which we arn\'t.

[Tapo]

i meant advertise to friends and stuff. maybe PS should affiliate wid other web sites

[Moogie]

Many popular gaming sites have done reviews of PS and interviews with Talad already.

Gamespot has had Planeshift listed under their Beta Test Center for a long time.  I found PS through that link about 1.5 years ago...

[Tapo]

well, beta link is different from an actual prievew/eventual review
