Well It\'s time to say hi to everyone :-)
Planeshift looks quite promising as a MMORPG, and I hope the whole project will be succesful. Right now I\'m playing EVE Online, and I like it a lot. Maybe Planeshift will be my second best? ;-)
Anyways I\'ve got few questions.
First of all I\'m not gonna ask when CB will be out :-D Couse I think even the DEV\'s don\'t have ETA on it (even commercial games have problems with this). But I would like to know when was the last update released - the current one.
Secondly is my thinking is correct that there will be PvP only in arenas and specially designed places? So if I go to kill some spiders or something I can be totaly safe from PC\'s?
Another thing - the guilds, and proffesions. During character creation there are only non-combat ones. Why is that? I\'m bit affraid that Planeshift will be even too safe. I know that I can have some fun being a baker or miner, but its just bit of fun.
I think that the biggest driving force of almost every MMORPG is to train your skills, get best armors, swords, tachyons ;-) to be more powerful (hopefully than other players) and to be able fight some PC\'s.
I know that where is PvP there are griefers, but on the other hand when there is no risk, any game can become very boring. How much fun can you get in arena?
Don\'t get me wrong I\'m not mad PK\'er type. In EVE my character is dedicatet scientist. I have poor combat skills, although I\'m more than 5 months in the game. But that does not stop me from having lots of fun taking my ship and kill hordes of NPC\'s, and even noob PC pirates wannabees :-D
Of course when I ecounter real PK\'er I\'m in much much much trouble, but hey It makes game very interesting.
