Thats not true at all.  In fact it's already on media.  I got an old copy of MB laying around my house on cd somewhere, and quite a few backups of CB releases on dvds as well.  (Backups are key. )

If you are referring to offical copies of the game released on DVD/CDs then its a maybe.  As the game progresses, I see something that linux distros have been doling for years now.  That is, one large download off the website, or for a small fee, you can order yourself a dvd/Cd in the mail from the website, for those unfortunates that don't have a faster speed connection to the internet.  Granted as the size of the client is barely over 210 meg, this shipping a cd/DVD option really isn't feasible nor would most people even consider it, but to say that it would never happen is quite a far stretch.  No one can predict what is certain for the future, thats why its thefuture afterall.  Not trying to be mean sesmi, but I've had to correct your words many of times after you post.  Perhaps before posting you can think a little more about your chioce of words before you push the reply button next time?

It was a light-hearted post made in jest :) I doubt very much that Djinn was serious.

Yes, I was being a little in jest, but more by way of musing and dreaming about the future possibilities as I'd thought of them as being.

-thankyou for your subtle gesture in my defense, Karyuu  :flowers:


That is certainly interesting information you provide too, in your post Neko... I had a vague idea at the time I made my previous post to this thread, that I had seen some much earlier posts concerning whether or not there might someday be releases of PlaneShift on CD-ROM or other solid storage media.

Perhaps I ought to have used the Search Button to find such instances of previous posts on this matter to lay in support of my musings.  :oops:
- running PlaneShift Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) Client, on an Apple iMac G5 2GHz PowerPC processor, 2GB DDR SDRAM, an ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card with 128MB VRAM, a 20-inch active-matrix LCD widescreen display, and a 250GB Serial ATA hard drive... so what's your excuse, huh?

wow. I just jumped off the eagle's head at the Bronze Doors. Got some awesome screenies while I was waiting to hit the ground.  :D

Only the thing is I must have hit the rocks so hard that I got stuck in the ground. Had to /die. But it just shows you that you don't even need a parachute to go base-jumping.  :woot:

Lol, yeah the eagle head is cool.... also, i realized its not the waterfall that you look at that makes you lag, since when I was at the water wheel, it wasnt lagging. It was lagging when I looked at the cliffs you see from the Eagle Head.

Actually it is the wheel that makes you lag, bug.

I would think that lag would be most when looking out over the large area.  More area to render = longer time to render it.  But what do I know.

Allow me to translat for those that don't understand it:

"Actually, its the big wheel that makes you lag, becuase there is a bug with it."

Yeah, I was a bit too short maybe :lol:
There was bug with the wheel that makes you lag or crash.
Why you would lag even more when looking from the eagle head is just because the area is so huge.
The bug is fixed in CS by the way(PS's 3D engine), but I don't know when it will be available for users.

Wierd... When i look at the waterfall from a distance, it lags, but when I'm right in front of the waterwheel, no lag at all.
