Planeshift vs World of Warcraft
« on: March 28, 2006, 07:52:55 pm »
I really like playing World of Warcraft, but IMHO Planeshift could be even better because it?s freeware :)
So Is the basic principle of playing the same as in World of Warcraft, or are there big differences (e.g. round based combat or something like this)?

The main principle is roleplay :)

I knew that some thread like this would come up. I knew it.

Well, okay. Little Reminder: This game is pre-alpha, a tech demo, it is not finished.

No I mean \"big\" differences. Just like I said, is the combat in realtime or round based.
There are many roleplaying game where combat is round-based AFAIK.

I wouldn\'t be suprised if Planeshift becomes the next WoW. WoW is a brilliant game en\'all but look at the price of it, scary.

Then again, we\'re going to have to pay for PS at some stage. -_-

for one he said 2 pounds a week and another thing...I dont want to diss on PS because i love it, but putting it on a level with WOW is absurd, and saying it will be just as popular is doubly absurd. WOW has about 5 million players world wide. It is dveloped by blizzard games, a highly respected, renowned and proffesional video game company, it advertises, it is in software form that is purchased at every popluar store that would even sell video games. Its very high quality, smooth and entirely stable, and on top of that, the warcraft franchise has been revered and poplular for years now.

Planeshift on the other hand, is open source, free, unadvertised, somewhat new, and it lacks reputaion. It relies simply on you, me and google searches to drag in its players. Its rate of development is entirely random based on the number of devs regardless of the dedication of its regulars. All in all it is a wonderful game, but i dont think it is built for the wide audience that WOW reaches. Its players have to have a sense of loyalty and patience, and some experience with rpg\'s to stay involved. Although i hold it in the same light as wow, i cant imagine that 80% of other people would agree with me.
Heres an example, I have probably 20 kids at my school of 300 that play WOW and problably 150 that have heard of it and many that want to play it. I am one of about 3 people at my school that have even heard of PS and I am the only one that plays it. So there is my rant on karastartok\'s naive statements.

2 pounds 2 pounds !!!!!! I cant round that up in a month.
where do you pick up coins at!!!

well much like the dude above me said there is like 500 students at least that play wow at my school and im the only one that know about planeshift. Its going to be a long time before you can even start talking about ps being as big as wow.

in my personal opinon i dont want PS to get as big as WOW just think about the people that would cheat just beacuse they could and its open souce too.


oh drey is that fishing in ps?? I havent played the game in like 4 months so i dont know what is new

If you want more people to now about the game, then at least tell your frinds.

The way this game would be Ad would be by word-of month.

So is the combat system in planeshift similar to that of WoW.
Just click a mob and cast your spells on it or activate \"attack\" to use your weapon? Or is it different?
