Welcome to Planeshift! :)
The
Downloads section on the main PlaneShift website offers instructions:
?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 there is a problem with account activation, check
these two threads.
?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 0.3.013? - 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. Some of the most useful stickies include:
Gameplay FAQ
Testing and ContributionAnd those in my signature.
?Step 4:Enter your account informations in the two fields (login is your email, password is the one you chose during account creation), and click on the ?Ok? button.
?Step 5:Enjoy!
