i like noobies :]

anyhow:

PS [PlaneShift] is going to be free all the time
CS [Crystal Space] is the engine for PS and is also FOSS [Free Open Source Software], like Planeshifit is.

and about the next release, i\'d like to quote someone:
\"It\'ll be ready, when it\'ll be ready\" ...no haste. But when it\'ll be ready, it WILL be ready ...better a late release then a \"on-time\" (although the devs never said a date!!) with tons of bugs.

the first public playable release was called AB - Atomic Blue, the current one is MB - Molecular Blue, the next is CB - Crystal Blue ...see a patern here? ;)

oh, and welcome to Planeshift ...i hope you\'ll like it :]

lol thanks. It\'s cool i think these pre-releases will give you a great view for what you can expect. I mean this is one of the best graphics i\'ve seen in a free game!

(applaudes to the creators)

I think this game has great potential.

Why all this fuss about n00bs?
I\'m glad they are there. They give us something to do.
N00b: \"what can you do here?\"
Regular player: \"look for crystals, walk, talk and answer newbie questions (yay, I just added 1 more thing on my to do list)\" :D

I\'d say that was more of an annoyance, seeing as people (including me) have written countless FAQs to answer newbies\' questions and some people still don\'t read them. I like newbies because it gives me a chance to make a new friend and help them progress in the game, not to answer the same questions over, and over, and over again.

Can we please eliminate the evil word \"noob\" in all its ways of spelling right now. If I see that word in game I\'ll stop playing. The word we should use is novice, if thats to hard for you, use newcomer or if you really have to sound like a 13 year old girl on msn, newbie.

If I sound like another spelling-nazi, I\'m not, I\'m just a guy who prefer actual words.

Won\'t see you around long then Culsoron...and newbie is a perfectly good word meaning novice.

EDIT: And you people saying that these stupid questions are not annoying, try actually sticking around here and post for a few months and then say the same thing, then I think others might take what you say into consideration, or just think you have way too much patience (acraig :P).

If I remember right, back in the day, we use to call n00bz \"Peanuts\" it\'s much nicer. :)

Well there is quite simple explanation...novices *AHEM* n00bs *AHEM* just aren\'t bother to go to search and type somethung like \"is planeshift free\" sorta of thing plus sometimes the search don\'t give you what you want...this happens to me every time...either i get an error saying \"if you unsure how to use this feature screw off :P\" So n00bs just ask the question again and again \'cos the not even bothered to go on second page of the forum...

Nah, I think most people still see that, but they do not just believe it. If you look around on the internet, a lot of stuff claims to be free, but isn\'t really (comes with a monthly fee, is shareware etc.)
If you ever fell for something like that you\'ll probably ask twice before you believe it. I myself spent quite some time on the webpage before I even downloaded the client (though I never fell for any \"hidden-cost-ware\" ;)).
