looks like its time for my dueling

Expect that they will find many glaring bugs that will take several months to fix.
That way if CB should happen to be released sooner than that you will be merrily surprised.

Life advice: Keep your expectations low to avoid disappointment.

Keeping your expectations low all the time may make you a downer in the eyes of your peers :p

From Fragnetics site:

6 May 2004

We are also in the process of preparing for the next PlaneShift tech demo, codenamed Crystal Blue. Although there is no launch date for the release, we can confirm that the game will be run on a dedicated server, unlike the present Molecular Blue release.

EDIT: That player number on planeshift.fragnetics.com is approaching 200,000 (197470).

 Could be alot of people seeing the words \"Crystal Blue\" and losing control, making account after account in hopes that one won\'t go through, indicating the removal of the MB server. Ehrm, no. That was not me. Gaack! *snatches logs away from inquiring bystanders* I told you it wasn\'t me, is that not enough, oh ye of little faith?

O...M...G!!!!!!!!!!

I was just checking the main website expecting no news, but the second that news item appeared my heart started pounding like a heart attack. I was a bit disappointed that CB wasn\'t actually released yet, but I\'m extremely glad that the devs are \"close\" to finishing it. If I expected it soon, I would probably kill myself during the next 6 years, so I think I\'ll just keep my hopes down.

But thanks a bunch...gotta start warning loved ones...hehe >=)

Um,

 When CB comes out, do we run the Planeshift Updater thingy? If we do, the update will be pretty big huh? Also, will ALOT of new content be added? Like at least 5 new cities and 100 new monsters?

  And maybe bare chested ladies?

 Ok nvm that was lame.
 
 Thanks

You will have to download the new release manually. The current updater is very simple and cannot get CB for you. Check out the video on the main page (although it only shows a new place for a second) for a preview of CB.

As for my last post, I was just pointing out that they\'re going to be running a dedicated server, which will help improve performance and allow more players to be connected at one time... something I\'m looking forward to.

They definitely need to stop scaring us like that... unless... it\'s all part of an elaborate plan where they post news pretending CB is nearly done and put us into a coma then delay the CB release as long as they like. Yes, that must be it.

[Supergohan]

:s no!!! i hope not. but why cant they let us have an unfinished version and let us downlouad updates and patches.
all this waiting and hoping for the release is killing us all.
they wont have any players left when the time for the release hase come

[AendarCallenlasse]

Funny how you\'ve nominated yourself the voice of the people.  You\'ll notice that most of the people here disagree with you.  We don\'t want an unfinished product.  We\'d rather wait for a full, working version to come out.

And remember many of us have been waiting much much longer than you have.  They\'re working as fast as they can to put out a product that won\'t cost a thing to you.  So suck it up and shut up.

[Watcher]

Here here, while I have not being waiting as long as some of the pepole here I still have been waiting a long time and I want CB to take as long as it needs to so we can get the quality and the quantity

[tygerwilde]

I\'m not even going to try playing the first day, I\'m gonna wait till the numbers go down before trying it.

[karakth]

I don\'t think the numbers will go down. I mean, more and more people will start hearing of a free MMORPG with combat. The numbers can only go up.

[ShadowSoul]

Ok seems we have good news finally ...
Will you update the new\'s page on the web site when it will be real for sure ?
May be with a link on the download pages ?

I really would like to begin gaming with you all ...

Thanks !

It is the unspoken law of the PS team to never give a \"release date\" since most likely they\'ll miss it (even if not by much) and everyone will be disapppointed and that will start a round of threads by disgruntled players. So, it\'ll be a suprise when it comes out, and you will  become a gruntled player ^_^
