First impressions

[Lintdraug]

Hey! This game is really awsome! :>
i really feel this game, i really feel like i\'m in that world!!! You guys rox!

Impressions:

1)  Amazing graphics. Really cute, and if i\'ll think it\'s not final ... agh
2) Game chops on my machine (WinXP, Athlon 1.8Ghz, 256 DDR, GeForce 4 MX) - but I\'m almose sure it\'ll be bit optimized before final, isn\'t it?
3) It\'s a shame that there\'s nothing (or I couldn\'t find) to do at this moment  in the world. I can log in, walk around, talk to people who\'re there and... wait for next release?
If there is - meaby some text in Player\'s Guide about it? I don\'t know - test quest or what would make testers spent more, more, more time in the game, isn\'t it?

4) I don\'t see any roadmap. It confuses me with my questions - when will be next release avaible? What is being done at the moment? What are the plans for futur?

5) Do You plan to implement languages in the game? I imagined that characters would know one or two languages (like in Warhammer RPG - Common and Elvish for example), and player could switch between them. Talking in Common would make everyone understand him, talking in Elvish would make his words understanable only for others who knows Elvish.

6) Any plans for Elf race?

Ok I\'ll give you the run-down.  the oly thing you can really do besides what you mentioned is hunt for crystal.  they spawn randomly around the game.

There is no set plan on the next release but it should be sometime this month or next month.  With that realease will come fighting, magic, monsters and new models, hopefully the elven models.

Languages?  That is something that people have pitched to the devs via the Wish List.

Welcome to PlaneShift!

ok, on to the question ^^

1) PS uses Crystal Space as 3d engine, and it looks pretty nice, also remember, there won\'t be a final, the game will be worked on as long as people feel like working on it (think linux).

2) yes, it really \"lags\" now, this is because the 3d engine too is still in development, however for the next version already, they will use a newer version that\'s (hopefully) a lot faster and less laggy then this one.

3) There are 2 test quests, however since there are errors with the NPC server lately, most NPC\'s are gone, so you can\'t do the quest.

4) well, you have to read the forums for that, a lot of questions are already answered, just look for the search button

5) yes, some players do think this is a really nice idea, there are some threads about it in the wish list, just search for it ^^

6) there are 2 elf racesm dermorian and nolthrir..

so just wait till the next release, Crystal Blue, and read some more stuff about the game in the meantime.
