Same problem here... Fresh clean and brand new install with latest version available on the front page of the website (which leads to softpedia).
My OS is XP Pro SP3, has basic NAT firewall and Comodo software firewall with proper exceptions for this game. I am a computer and network tech so I know how to open these things up, my computer is not getting a response back from any of the servers it sends info out to so it errors out.
Let me know what else is needed so we can troubleshoot this together and hopefully get other people's problems fixed as well.
Updater gives messages:
welcome to the PlaneShift Updater version 1.1.1.1
Click Update to start
Checking registry version
Couldn't connect to mirror mir2

Trying mirror backup

Ran out of mirrors, game cannot be updated.
**********
Then when I open the game, it shows that the server Failed and unable to login or connect.
I believe the game development team must have forgotten or messed up a few things with the latest install process.
1) there is NO updaterinfo.xml file in ANY folder relating to this game
2) even if you downloaded the file mentioned in the stickies, it still does not have the <config active=false> line anywhere.
3) please read the posts before saying "follow this other post", when people have said we have followed the other post and the information does not pertain to our situation; there is no file to even modify, and even with the downloaded file there is no entry mentioned to modify.
Not trying to be difficult here but if we say we followed it and there is no file, then how can we modify it?
Here is the downloaded file from one of the moderators stickies which did not exist before I downloaded it from these forums:
