PEOPLE! PEOPLE! PEOPLE!

I said it before but I see it is needed once again.  Attack the post, not the poster. You can easly agree or disagree with a post or a reply but as soon as you take it to a personal level and attack the poster, you have changed it from a debate to a flame. This stuff is far too common and it needs to stop!

As for the demo, people asked for a release date and were given one on a guess. It was not set in stone and it is actually being worked on drasticly as to try and keep it close. The fact is that no one wanted to say a date cause every one knew that as new features were added, more bugs would arise. Think about it. 3D has done their best to put together the best models that they could do under this constraint of time. Settings has done twice what was needed just to try and make the people happy.

The fact remains that this demo is not actualy for the fans at all. We added features to it so the fans could have something to do but it is still only an engine test for the developers. So please stop with this \"we the fans are owed a demo\" type stuff. Yes we would love to have something for you all to play around with but it is not just for you. It is for us to better understand and learn how to deal with sittuations dealing with a live application.

So please stop with this \"we were promissed a demo\" cause no one was promissed a thing. We are doing our best to get something out but you know what makes it harder? It is hard to stay modivated to do something for people when those people sound so ungreatful. Like I mentioned before, this demo is a test for the development of the game, adding the chat and a few other things was purly just flavor for the fans. We could have easly just left those out and tested the engine ourselves but we thought we would try to do something nice.

Yeah... you can\'t bitch about a free game, its FREE, that may be one of the reasons the deom is so slow... but i think the demo will just show off graphics and perhaps take place of the chat room...

If you didn\'t like how Warcraft III was announced,  then complain to Blizzard, because Planeshift has nothing to do with it.  Yes, the dev team couldn\'t get the demo out before the end of March.  So what? They didn\'t say it was definitely going to be out in that date.

This game will be much more different than Runescape.  Read the game features and you will realize that PS is more focused on the roleplaying part, and it will dig deeper in other aspects of the game

If meket spams, I don\'t care,  because I actually enjoy his posts.  As I also enjoy ninkwi\'s,  Kada-El\'s, Cyo\'s, etc.  Because you average 0.3 posts a day doesn\'t mean that you always say something interesting either. And the forum isn\'t dead,  as far as i can see.

I like the way that these people greet newbies,  so I don\'t think they are just trying to raise their post count.  They are being nice,  something that all of us should be.  And yes,  the game will take a long time to be finished,  for many reasons:
1. They don\'t earn money for making of the game,  that means they have to work and that leaves them less time to do the programming, designing, etc.
2. The developers come from many different places,  and they can only get in touch through Internet, and this makes it even more difficult.
3. There are always delays and complications,  that is unavoidable.


Sorry everyone for the long post,  but I couldn\'t stay out of this one.  I hate when they jump all over the dev team and the members of the forum like this.

Well after all these cmplaining posts and calling people spammers i think nobody will leave because you will be leaving

 (ok that might be a little bit flaming but i just had to say it, sorry)

Now about the other posts.
GIVE IT A BREAK DUDES! There are just a few guys around that are trying to make the game look bad.. just ignore them or ban them or whatever.. if they dont want to be here anymore i\'m sure they wont mind if they get banned. And about the release of the demo:

WOOOOOOT @ that... i\'d rather seen the demo get here earlier, but i\'m sure it will be great when the demo gets out and i\'m sure they had a good reason to not bring it out.
i actually dont care about the reason.. i dont have any rights here, but i think it will get here soon so we all just have to pay a little patience..


HAPPY HUNTING

Ick.  Nothing worse than relentless optimism...


j/k well....hmmm


I am a liar and everythin I say is a lie.

Remember how we used to think this clever as children?  Not realizing it is flawed logic.  Of course, you are supposed to say that if its a lie therefore you are telling the truth blah blah blah.

Not realising of course,  the third case, that you lie sometimes but not always.

Dunno why I felt compelled to share that.


All right you primitive screwheads!  Listen up!

Just wanted to thank the Planeshift team.
They are doing a great job.

They are working on this game almost everyday and what do they get ? not much. I dont even have time to check this site every day so i really respect what they are doing.

I have been silence for a long time now because of some private things. I have been here since pff , december ? cant even remember  :D  I always checked the site and the forrums but didnt post allot.
I will try to be more active now.

Greetzz

Gion.

Hehe, they don\'t just mean program; they mean program WELL.   And I imagine he means texture artists and modelers, not regular painters.
