I've actually been playing for a couple of years now -anyway, I can't really remember- I think it was while looking at MMO engines for my own game, and I ended up playing it.

how did I find it...  a Yahoo! search for +RPG +mmorpg +3d +linux

I've been around PS for about a year now.  Not really playing seriously, but still looking for something which could be played in Linux.
I finally made the leap to a full linux system (at least on my desktop) about 3 months ago and since I could no longer play the "other" games, have been focusing on this one.

I've only recently started posting and playing on a regular basis (I still have alot to learn though by the looks of it).

Well, I had left Second Life (for various reasons) and it turned out that I needed something else to waste my time with  ;D. But I didn't want it to be like SL so I somehow decided to go for free+medieval+games if I remember right. So I used Google and this site (jeez, I dug it out again!  :sweatdrop:), clicked on a few links and the first thing I tried became my home  :P

Ever since I quit Endless Online I've been searching for another MMORPG. I was looking on a MMORPG  site and found PlaneShift. I didn't give it much thought back then and forgot about it. I was looking up about it on Wikipedia around a week after and decided to play it. That is how I found PlaneShift. To make PlaneShift popular I suggest  lots of people on this forum to tell their friends and get them started on it.

Found it on the wiki entry for MMORPG, it had a table with all the games and their status...Plane Shift was the one that had the important words 'Free' and 'Mac'.

Well, for me the story is similar, just that instead of SecondLife it was RuneScape. In other words, I found PlaneShift thanks to the same site as Morla.   ;D

hmmm i answered how i found ps... but how to get more people to play...

well the first idea that comes to mind is the cute and cuddly factor. ps plushies, the one eyed rat, the ulber, the menki and fenki.

the second is a full bore ps book, sitting on the shevles fighting it out the the wow, eq, and dragonlance books. and winning of course because ps is so full of awesome.

I found PS in an article about different MMOs, in a Newspaper - the oldfashoined kind ;)
I looked at EVE Online, WoW and PS - 2 hours of playing after DL'ing, and I was hooked  ;D

Trying to make us known to more / getting more to play:
The Mac factor is important here, since the gaming field is so narrow on the Mac-scene - if we get mention on popular Mac sites, and maybe a review in a Macmag, it'll draw people. Perhaps a review from a popular website could assist? Another thing that should not be overlooked is the human story behind PS: An interview with Talad or another dev about "How we make a World - PlaneShift revealed" would definitely spur interest also.  :detective:
My 2 tria - are we making a concerted effort about PR...? (just curious)
