How did you find planeshift?
« on: November 21, 2007, 02:45:12 am »
I know this has been asked before so I hope neko does not kill me . . .

Some of you may be aware that we are working on several fronts to improve player feedback and increase the size of the planeshift player base without losing the sense of community all of us have come to love.

My questions is simple.

How did you end up here, and what do you think would help PS to attract more players?

Google.

I was bored one afternoon in the summer and decided to look up free games online (not necessarily MMORPG's..i didnt even know what they were at the time) and after a pretty long search, i found Planeshift...learned how to RP and here i am :)

I'm not sure what would help attract more players...im kind of a new gamer  :-[

I searched for "MMORPG roleplaying" on Google, and found a site that mentioned PS. When I saw that this game was free, I decided to join. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Imagine if I had never done that...  ::|

Not sure how it can improve, though.

I don't even recall. I think I was looking in a list of free MMOs that contained some crafts (such as mining.) I was attracted to PS because it was a game where you didn't have to hack and slash the whole time, and that there were also some quests.

It seems the popular answer is Google. This game looked enticing because a) its free b) its 3D and c) its the good kind of 3D, not the crappy RuneScape 3D.

Capes would attract players.

<.<

Everyone loves a cape  :P

I found PS on AnandTech Hot Deals forum looking for cheap computer deals - someone mentioned a great game they were currently playing on their new PC.

I found it when searching for a new game after leaving Dransik (now known as Ashen Empires) which was my first MMORPG. Google = <3

And I actually agree... Capes/cloaks would attract people. Might even bring me back from WoW >.> Even though I am actually finding very good RP there :D

I googled too. :P

Best way would be to affiliate on MMORPG websites.

I can't remember any more, but For some reason, I think it was also google.

I took a break a while ago, around 0.3.014-0.3.017 and then came back and haven't looked back since, I love it here!

I suggest we make a.... Movie >.> Guys in kran suits. Some fake pointy ears. some make up for the colors for nolthrir and such... We could make like a full feature film or something. Some volunteers for it and it won't cost quite as much, some donations for it, etc. We could pull it off >.>

MindRover
(loved that game, played at it for 3 or 4 years - Think more, Twitch less)

They moved their BB and somehow, for awhile it was being shared with the BB of a PS guild (Secret Mentors??? can't remember)
Never played a MMORPG before, or any online game for that matter.
But had dabbled in paper and dice games and it sounded interesting.


huh, where did I put that MindRover disk? I've got to see if it will run on Vista.

I got into Planeshift thru a friend who was trying to find good mmorpgs we could play for free. I have not wanted to play any other game since :) Also I was looking to get away from *gag* Runescape!  haha
