Yes, most likely never.  Since it will always grow and change,  the idea of  \'finished\' does not really apply here.  We are planning a new release to add new features by the end of the year.  With each new release more and more features/quests/items/NPCs will be added.  This can continue for a long time yet.

So... you\'re saying it was pre-alpha before and now it\'s a tech demo.
Well guess what? It\'s been a pre-alpha tech demo for a while.

I\'d like to know too... when is the game gonna be more playable and when will all the features and races be available?

As it is now, it\'s kinda hard to play cause of lag. When will that be (more or less) fixed?

in the next release the lag will be less so they are saying, and otherwise try to play in windowed 32 bit and 1024 x 768, it\'s the only size i can use to play as good as lagless.

you need a good 3d card and lots of memory in the way it is now.

But if you want to know WHEN the next update is released, it\'s scheduled to be in December. I personally can\'t wait, because as is, it\'s one of the best mmorpg\'s and combat isn\'t even implemented yet...but will be in Crystal Blue! (CB)

Pro MMORPGs take 4-5 years with 40-100 fulltime people.

Planeshift has about 10 part time people.  You do the math.

Yeah thats a big difference! But lets be real here Veng, no one wants to wait that long I mean we are using patience as it is! Maybe you could ask ps players to help get devs for some sort of momentary prize or something!.................................*SLOWLY GOING CRAZY WHILE WAITING!!!*

You get what you pay for. If you can\'t be patient long enough for the dev team to create the game, find another.

That\'s a really bad idea and I\'m sure it won\'t take you long to figure out why. :P

Actually the community is doing the best work possible: being so nice and friendly.

Encouragment are important too.

As Moogie said, that\'s a horrible idea. Most people don\'t realize how little they know of programming. Plus, prizes would attract lots of people that just wants the prize, and aren\'t really interested in the development of Planeshift.

Someone told me that characters are gonna be deleted on updates... sigh.. oh well, since I can\'t play yet anyways I guess I can live with it. :-/ For now.......

Besides... my character \"Beatie\" was kinda quick made and probably really lame too.  :rolleyes:

All the characters will be deleted before CB. But, you will most likely be able to reserve your name :)
