It is kind of hard to say where I was. I have only been playing a couple of days. But I had gone up all the levels in the town and left the gate towards the forest. I went into another level, made a right turn at the juncture, and found the Magic Shop. I then when back down the path, taking the left turn. This led me to another level where I finally saw some of the rolling hills and wilderness.
I had found some skins. So after looking about for a while in the hills, I resolved to go back to town and sell them. I found my way back to to road to go back to the level with the Magic Shop, and tried to cross back into that level. At that point my client quit. This was last night. I tried logging in a couple of times, but it would not let me go back. It would just stop me dead, although I could back up.
Today about 12:05pm I logged in and tried to go back to the Magic Shop level. This time it stopped me dead, and when I was trying to back up, I fell through the ground and was underneath the roadway. IDSPISPOPD is what it was like, if anyone remembers the reference ... in other words: Looking at a 3D mapspace from a view that you should not be viewing from gives the viewer all kinds of odd, partial structures and lets you kind of "look through" the objects on the map.
So I walked around, I could see the structure of the architechture of the hills, the road and the trees. I could also see open places that looked like I would fall a long, long way. I walked around, trying to get to the top of a hill so I could take a good screenshot.
Before I could do so, the server went inactive and the client quit. When I attempted to reconnect, the server was still down. I just thought I would give you some kind of report on this behavior.
FYI: I had a little troubledownloading and setting up the client. But the new torrent from this weekend fixed the problems. Things PlaneShift doesn't have and odd crashes aside, it actually seems to be working real well for the version it is on. I am looking forward to being able to play around with it for a long time to come. Thanks!
