Real Danger ?
« on: July 15, 2003, 03:47:03 am »
Well I don\'t know about you people .. But I\'m worried..
The thing is the game looks fab. for know ... Well for many reasons .. Great Graphics .. FREE.. open source ... multi-OS... etc...

But when you look at the games lined-up for release in the next 3 months ( HL2 .. need I say more ??) It really scares me that maybe in another 6 months we will have a 3D MMORPG financed by a multi-millionare or even M$ which will have better equipment and Developers to complete it ..

So by the time PS is released and actually on its v1.0 ( thats about 2 MORE years !!) people might have actually started playing other MMORPGS and PS might not even have a forum anymore .... even if the game is FREE ( that might actually change ... I think )

So instead of worrying about the characters and storylines and quests blah blah .. Worry about the GAME ITSELF !! ...

Please give me some rest and give me reasons why most of you won\'t leave this game ...

I also forgot to mention the future high-speend inet .... that may make Anarchy online playable :P

Actually the thing you should be worrying about is the graphics. In two or three years this game will look crap. No offense.

Don\'t worry about that, Jed, (can I call you Jed...? Sorry, I give everyone pet-names. :P) the ingame graphics will be continually updated.

As for the game as one of the first free MMORPGs, I don\'t think we have to worry about it being taken over by any other projects. Think about it- other companies would need to take just as long to develop their games if they wish to compete with the ideals that Planeshift has in mind.

...And lastly, I\'M NOT A BUNNY!

The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

My reasons for sticking around:

The game is fun, even in such an early stage.
The community is close-knit and friendly.
For once I feel ready for any question the newbies may throw at me. ;)
Pure dedication.
Being part of a gaming revolution is a pretty attractive idea to me. :D

yes the main thing everyone likes about this game is that its free.....

i mean im 15, im not gonna be spending 10+ dollars on a game every month just to be addicted to it and channel out all life other then the computer....... i would rather do it for free! :D

plus whatever money i do happen to make it wont matter because for many games you need a credit card which my parents wont let me charge game stuff on :(

but for now like monketh said, its cool now cuz theres only a couple hundred who actually play it and we all know eachother so its like a big family lol group hug! *Hugs All*

1. I like to see this thing grow into a full game and be part of it from the beginning.
2. I like the community.
3. it\'s free (who didn\'t see that one coming from a mile away)
4. many other reasons......

Qadsawi, free, owt for nowt, a lot of us live by it, as long as its free theres no worrys that there will be people playing, even in two years time youlll be hard fetched to find another rpg with graphics even as good as the stage its at now.
