I came to PS back in 2006 in search of RP from a table top background in the 80's. Back then it was a struggle to get the client working and the server suffered long periods of downtime. In a way this added to the PS experience and with around 100 regular players making the best of what PS had to offer. I used to be online everyday and built my character with care and attention toward settings and mechanics.
Over the years I have had, and seen others have, disagreements and arguements within the player base, the GM team and the Dev team yet here today PS still graces the MMORPG world.
Personal circumstances began to take up more of my time and I lost track of my character, created others, and eventually turned to other games.
To get to the point I have played a variety of MMORPG and other games since finding PS. I have wandered confused in WoW, been impressed yet a bit bored with Eve Online and fumbled through some interesting minor production of the same genre.
Here in PS I have found true RP, just like the long nights in the kitchen with RuneQuest, D&D etc. No other game has offered this and today I find that even with a tiny player base RP is alive if not very well. The fact that 20 or less players online in PS gives more entertainment than games with tens of thousands online at any one time is astonishing.
Well done to the Dev team past and prestent, for providing this platform for the players, well done to the GM team, again past and present, for doing a very difficult job both moderating and entertaining the player base, but most of all well done to all the players from today and yester-year for your imagination, enthusiasm and your time.
We the players need to attract others here, the very nature of PS is enhanced with every new character that arrives in Hydlaa. The dev teams have little time for this so it is down to us. Facebook, Twitter, tell your friends. College and Uni notice boards, tell your friends. Write positive reviews on MMORPG fansites, tell everyone. A large PS community is so much fun to be involved in, look after those new players when they get here, give them what they need and show them, not tell them, how to RP.
