[zensaber]

this is already far from hack and slash like i love the idea of having it like real life my char is a smith but we already know itll will mostly that or why else would we have 100 000 users?i jsut want the battle to show that some people or better than others like at fighting in levels but lets not hope it turns out like tale in the desert hrrrrrrrmmmmmm hate it no fighting errrrr stupid TITD

No thief guild ? Are you kidding ? Or do you want me to send all my thieves to visit you ?

take note that i said that a long long time ago, before i formed the order

NOOOOO! Please, whatever you do, dont say it should be hack n slash! This is Planeshift! Its unique! And i hope that fighting wont be the primary. RPG.... moust ppl see only the G in it... but the main character is R. If you want hack n slash, go and play Priston Tale or Mu Online. RP FOREVER!

[Kramy]

Mu online is fun, though it tends to be a solitary game where you don\'t end up talking to anyone, and all you can do is kill things. Would like it more if there were more options for character expansion and more spells.

Good thing this isnt a hack n slash It is as they say if you dont like it go find another game.

 Well, my guild isnt exactly merchant type, we produce goods (we are aa guild of farmers, butchers, artisans and so on so on..) to then sell them. It wont be long now, until more guilds like my own (Bloodclaw Inc.) enter this world, to join (create) a fight for costumers

[Fanomatic2000]

Yes, a balanced RPgame is a must-have in these times.

Too many games focuses on hack n\' slash and powerleveling, and the term RPG will soon be synonymous with adventure-game.
Glad there is so many RP-supporters here. Hope it inspires more players to RP and become a part of the game rather than just a K3wL DoOd.

As said before, if you dont like roleplaying you can either give it a try, or find another game that suits you better.

Very true, Fanomatic.

Well, Crj, that\'s only partly right. Think about the people who have fighting as their primary income? They can\'t fight to make a living, or what?

Your primary goal will be the one  you set for yourself, whether it is to be the best cook, the best fighter or the most known merchant, it is only your goal, noone else\'s. And you\'re the only person who can take that goal away from yourself. Edit: Oh.. And dev\'s can take it away too.

That\'s me!!

Whether you are into pvp or hack and slash or being a merchant, this game will provide you the opportunity.

That is key - you choosing the fate of your character and not being limited too much. We all have our own preferences and I\'m sure there will be something for everyone in Planeshift.

If you feel something is missing, just ask the devs to consider revising and improving the game.

But there\'s always Diablo or Unreal Tournament 2003 / Counterstrike / Quake 3 / Max Payne 2 for those who want nonstop fighting action.

Long life to Planeshift! Cheers!

I personally play mmorpgs cus its so addicting to create a characther and not have to be yourself with it. you can customize almost anything. i love customization with games. i hate dull games with no customizations. its like buying a cake with out the decorations.

I am sorry I did not get in on this when it started.  Cthulu if you listening I think you did a fine job of defending the \"gamers\" in the RPG croud.  Sorry my support is 7 months late!

I don\'t see why people get caught up in wanting real life aspects in games.  If I really wanted to tailor something I\'d go out and do it in person, not through a game. I play RPGs for 3 reasons:

1) They are all about numbers, and numbers are hot
2) They are generally the most imaginitive and least repetitive of games
3) I can let out mindless agression on imaginary objects using super cool weapons.

And it isn\'t even keeping with the tradition of RPGs to have some sort of silly online home life. When people play games like AD&D they don\'t get together for 3 hours and talk about what really cool imaginary clothing their character is making; they kill crazy monsters.

I am not trying to insult the \"roleplay\" croud.  I would just like to point out that the next generation of PS is reported to have only two things to do, buy stuff and kill stuff.  This sounds like the dreaded hack-n-slash to me.

It is too bad Cthulu is gone.  He could have been a good partner to help kill stuff.  I like someone who recognizes the word on the end of the acronym MMORPG.

[Kramy]

Mmm, killing stuff will be fun - then I\'ll sell all the hides I collect to the tailors in town.

[snow_RAveN]

IN MY VIEW if the place has an \"unstable peace\" ( constant fighting aginst darkness or some other fraction ) whats the point of just living normal lives ...  

if you lived in a war torn world the last thing you want is to have your body blown in to bits by that damm fire spell from your UNfrendly local neighbourhood warlock!!!
and bussiness try going to the local supermart with out being chased at half the time by an idoit PKer or run the risk of being attacked by some RETARD NPC with nun-chucks ( HIYAAAAAA !!! )


noted there still will be some merchants paldling thier tuperware and tincan openers but shouldn\'t they be left to npcs like in most mmorpgs ( yes you can still trade stuff  )

if you have a colony of players in a city under attack from a nother fraction what would you think the colony would do !!!

tell the enemy that they can get a good price if they sell thier weaps to the city and the enemy soliders sell the weaps and go back home rich  

HELL NO

the colony will just take thier bar stools, beer bottles,ect ..ect.... and i dont have to tell you what comes next

the only jobs that are gonna happen is war jobs LIKE weapon crafting, insurance selling, armour making and your basic food production


iam sorry towards any one who feels insulted by what ive written down and i hope that this post will make you think deeper

[Kiva]

Yes, snow_RAveN, but that\'s only IF the place has an \"unstable peace\", and it is only your oppinion. However, it\'s not up to you to decide IF PlaneShift has an unstable peace or IF PlaneShift is a constant fight between good and evil. But if you think it\'s like that, then go ahead.

if you lived in a war torn world the last thing you want is to have your body blown in to bits by that damm fire spell from your UNfrendly local neighbourhood warlock!!!
and bussiness try going to the local supermart with out being chased at half the time by an idoit PKer or run the risk of being attacked by some RETARD NPC with nun-chucks ( HIYAAAAAA !!! )

Hydlaa (the only present town in Yliakum) is not war torn. The only two people who have yet had a fight in the city were the gods Talad and Laanx, and according to the story, there was no blood. And how come my neighbour suddenly decides to blow me up just because I\'m a merchant?

I don\'t get it...

As for being chased by some \"idiot PKer\" through town - it\'s not gonna happen. PKing is limited to certain areas (at least that\'s how it\'s going to be until Paxx changes that rule as well), and why are we going to be attacked by some retard ninja NPC?

I really don\'t get it...


Anywho, you\'re speaking as if you know already that Yliakum will just be a dome of chaos and destruction, where you attack and kill anything that moves, has it two legs or more... Nah. Cities don\'t get sieged by some other random city, just because... Just because.

As for your point of view on jobs, can you please tell me why only \"war jobs\" will be profitable? I\'m quite sure that a master jeweller can make quite a big pile of money, and so can an alchemist.

It\'s not all about war, you know. It is what you choose, but just because you choose it, doesn\'t mean everyone sees it the same way, and think like you do. Think about it.
