You can get the update by running the program called Updater.exe, found in your main PlaneShift directory. This will check for new versions and download any files you need.

[Boldstorm]

Just wanted to say thanks alot for posting this. As yet another newbie this helps out greatly. Just wanted to put my thank yous in.

[JSnoob]

Just want to know something about the people. Is there many people playing in the game and will the game be laggy at times?

[lynx_lupo]

4-30 in these days. More will play when CB(next release) comes out(soon). \"Lag\" is inevitable.

[Phantazee]

Just wanted to say thanks for all the time and effort you have put into this. I?m not only new to PS but I?m new to online gaming as well (unless you count pogo). I think this a wonderful opportunity to see how a game such as this will evolve. I do have a few questions yet, but will read more before I ask! Thanks again for all the wonderful info.

[JSnoob]

From 1 - 10, how many points you give for the graphics?
Also 1 - 10, how interesting is the game?

[Infalna]

Hiya~
As you can see I\'m a super noob. ^^ I just wanna say thanks to Mogura.. that was a great help. I am still in the process of DLing the whole thing, but I have tried to read everthing that I can read in the site and I\'m very excited to try the game myself! Those tips would definately help me not to bother most players in asking overly-asked questions so that\'s a good thing. Great to know that I wont be pissing people off with noob questions..... that much. Okay for my first question, when can I call you moogie?
Wow does this thing really take so long to DL..? I hope it\'s not just my slow connection.

Okay I blabbed too much.. Cheers~!

Wow, someone who reads the FAQ!

*** tries to found the welcome smiley but fails ***

Welcome to PS!

If you want to ask questions to Mogura, if they are PS-related, post them in Newbie Help, as a moderator, she often read this section.

PS is big and will be even bigger for the next release (x2). But currently, you don\'t need too much bandwidth to play it (the lag is caused by 3d engine).

[Moogie]

JSnoob: I\'d give graphics a 9, and 10 for potentially interesting. I say potentially because there\'s many things that will be implemented in the future, but there\'s not much to do right now.

Infalna: Welcome to PS. I\'m glad this was useful to you. Don\'t be afraid to ask players online, there\'s always someone willing to lend a helping hand. Hope the downloads speed up for ya.

[Infalna]

Actually, I really did read the FAQ.. *embarrased*

It\'s nice to finally find an online game that doest shoot down noobs at first sight. Thanks for the warm welcome guys, and I will ask questions Elscouta and Mogura... and will try not to make a fool out of myself in the process.
