I can't remember for sure, but I think I read about PS in Macworld magazine about 4 years ago and it sounded interesting, so I decided to give it a try. There were almost no other Mac playable MMORPGs to choose from back then, and certainly no free ones.

I made a char. and played maybe 4 months, but many problems with places too dark to see at all in and then updates where Mac clients were not available for long periods of time afterward made me give up. In fall of 2008 I decided to give it another try and even though after one day of play and another update taking 3 months before a Mac client was available, I've kept playing since. Even though lots more Mac games are around now, I haven't found anything I like as much as PS since I mostly like RP.

My sister told me about it. I made a char to play with her, since it seemed she was having fun. I ended out outlasting her :P

i spent about a week straight devouring this site:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

which got me thinking about good storytelling, which got me reminiscing about FFVII, which got me reminiscing about playing D&D in my youth, which got me thinking about playing an MMORPG (I never have before), which got me searching for one to play on Mac, which lead me to the PS site. I read through the all the background and info on settings and thought, "this is really cool and in depth", so I DLd the client and viola, here I am.

I found the download for the game on the Apple web site and decided to give it a try and have been here ever since.

It was curious, I started on sharenator.com, then moved onto a few interesting blogs, then I saw the best open source games for PC and I saw PlaneShift as the only MMORPG. So I told myself "Hey, why not? Too poor to play WoW, must give it a try."


And here I am.





Playing.







You just lost the game.

Don't remember if I searched free games on SourceForge or read about it elsewhere ... it was free, so I tried it.

Same story as for some above. I was looking for a good free MMORPG running on Linux. PS was the first and almost the only option :)
