Having designed plenty of college billboard flyers before... these could stand a little improvement, tbh.      Too much text, awkward grammar, address not prominent enough, etc. etc. 

 
Ruya!! make your own !! http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=34865.msg400842#msg400842    <--- promotional poster contest thread!

wow are there really 500k accounts created? Although that doesn't mean 500k people nesessarily... anyway,  i will definintely let people in my school know of this. Personally i have already offered to help with modeling in any way i can (info@planeshift.it  is a valid e-mail to ask helping with PS, isn't it?) I tried Talad's address on PS site about a month ago but i got a message my mail was never delivered

I guess I could put my money where my mouth is   I'll see if I have time soonish to do so.

I know some colleagues from Microsoft Student Partnership in my University that may be interested, they are in the club of game developers at the University (Club's Site) but the problem is that they mostly make games using Microsoft products(especially XNA and Visual C# and the open source cross-platform Irrlicht Engine).

Anyway, I just sent an email to them with the Flyers... I don't guarantee anything.

Im only in highschool but there would probobly be interested teachers...
and yeah, I have 8 or more characters

Some answers to your questions:
1) Number of accounts: it's 500k not 500. That's the current number of accounts on zeroping. About 300K have been deleted in the past, and we are not adding up the ones of ezpc, so it's just a number to give an indication of how many people tried PlaneShift up to today. If you think it's clearer to say 500000 or 500.000 I can change it easily.
2) If you can make a better one, please proceed!! I'm all up to get a nicer one.
3) If you find grammar errors, please list those here, so I can correct those.
4) As for roleplay there is surely a strong focus on it from us, the definition is on the web site here.
5) Working in the team is a great experience, but not an easy one. We are not throwing ideas and sleeping. We are working hard and discussing all the time! Like a real company.
6) In term of future direction, we are willing to expand the game more in terms of playability and fun factor. One of the main themes of 0.6 is to improve the fun factor by removing some of the current limitations, and by streamlining better the progression through factions and quests.

1) Yeah it's funny how around 500k people have tried planeshift yet only 30-50 people are playing these days. Great success rate for ya.
4) On your roleplay guide it has a kran being referred to as a he.
5) Working on the team has been such a great experience that many have quit it or been fired from it. Well at least you got the "like a real company" part right.
6) What progression are you talking about and how is it being streamlined through factions and quests?

Noooooooooooooo, we think it should be 500,000 that way no one will think it's a decimal.

But yes, this poster isn't that much of a great idea.

I can see it coming now

Talad: /ban geoni forever  bwahahahaha

XD

[Geoni]

What in the world could you be talking about? Talad loves me.

Reference the 500k
1. Many players have two or more accounts. (Note accounts not players) Another little known fact is that players expressed the desire to be able to play several characters at the same time, so there are no restrictions to number of accounts you can have, just a different email per account.
2. The forums have many posts of players returning. Some just for a look to see how the game is progressing  or to look up old friends.
3. About 2. It is a lengthy process to restore an account if it is deleted, and frankly time is better spent looking into bugs/fixes.
4. Would you rather this game did the same as many other games;
   A. You must log in at least once a week or account is deleted.
   B. You must play within a year or account is deleted.
We would rather keep the accounts so returning people can pick up where they left off, or if they so desire make new characters, this game is as has been said many times, a game in the making, yes it is taking time, Devs move on as RL dictates their availability, so new have to be found, who in their free time can help with making the game.
 So it is a low priority to remove unused accounts, but nothing stopping you asking for your own to be removed, and when time permits it will be.

Your ability to be a troll is incredible. Try to find a job on this, maybe you can make money. Just stay out of here if you don't like the game.

About the current players we have thousands of active players, I have no idea where you got the 30-50, and sincerely I'm not interested in knowing it.

For the people willing to create a new flyer, just post your ideas and layouts in here, so we can evaluate to use that in the future.

OMG I laughed so much I almost wet my pants XD

You just og in game, make /who, write the number down… at 10 AM, 14 PM, 19 PM and 12 AM. I can tell no more than 70 players at the same time.

For the people willing to create a new flyer, just post your ideas and layouts in here, so we can evaluate to use that in the future.

Perhaps I'll do that… but does it have to be medieval-ish and so? The question looks obvious but it isn't at all…

[Minks]

Mishka, your calculation assumes that every players plays 24/7  

an example:

assume these numbers (I only guessed them!)
30 players at every given time on average
and 1/h per day per player on average

gives you the relation:
1/24 * number_of_active_players = 30
-> number_of_active_players = 30*24 = 720

   A. You must log in at least once a week or account is deleted.
   B. You must play within a year or account is deleted.

Newsflash, that is completely confusing. You have to log in once a week or once a year or the account is deleted, which is it? Where is this information detailed on the site?
