[Judas_Spreed]

#1 i see no one around where i begin

#3 i dont even look like the character i choose in the creation menu

 ?(    well now im pretty lost in the town and dont know what to do.....   plz someone help me.......... ;(

[TheGeneral]

Yes, yes it is.
No one is around because there is little, you can do in the game at this moment. So people do not stay fro very long, maybe 5-10 min tops. I do not know if you are supposed to hear any sounds, because i can not hear any either. And finally, there are only 3 races in the game, Dwarfs, Ynnwns, and those cat-like creatures, so if you chose anything else, you become a dwarf automatically. ;(
Helps?

Actually they have the sound fix on the main page:

Version 0.1.004

- Someone reported that there\'s no sound on the game! You can enable sounds modifying the file psclient.cfg located in planeshift main dir. Just remove the \';\' at the start of the System.PlugIns.iSoundRender, your file should look like this:

; Sound renderer
System.PlugIns.iSoundRender = crystalspace.sound.render.software

Try restarting your computer if you haven\'t already done so.

[Dumb Woob]

maybe you need to type in /spawn

About the selecting text box error you were encountering,

This randomly occurs from time to time for me, just try quitting the game and leaving it for about 10 minutes then start again. I don\'t know why you have to leave it for 10 minutes, if I leave then join again it doesn\'t work but if I leave it for 10 minutes it does.
