So....last week was kind of a bust since I failed to promote it or make a post, but never the less LAG, Atom, Wangmauler, and I had a good time running magriders during a good armor battle on Forseral.
With things like MAG and Global Agenda in the pipeline, those of you drooling over those need to man-the-fuck-up and try the grand-daddy that inspired those games (In before HeK corrects me with talk of Tribes 1). If often surprises me reading articles on those games how few people have ever even heard of planetside, so I'll blame that on SOE's lack of a marketing department for anything other than Everquest and Free Realms.
They are actually working on a sequel to planetside, Planetside Next, very few details have been released apart from "its coming". For now though, planetside is free to play, and thankfully you really don't need a high level character to have fun, at all. You can kill stuff just as easily with a fresh character as you can an old one, you just have to aim better.
How to see a bigger crowd come out this Saturday 8)
------Copy Pasta------
Day: SATURDAY
Time: 7pm cst (or earlier)
Ventrilo is mandatory
IP: il3.leetvent.com
Port: 3864
Pass: n/a
If you make a character please post their in game name here
Fun in this game increases exponentially with the more people that join up so I hope to see more of the people that stated they were interested in the initial thread to come out, the game is FREE, but you are restricted to 14 days after which you will have to start all over again. If you get "suspended" or banned since the trial accounts are loopholes just make another one. Conversely you can spend $20 to pick up the game at direct2drive, which comes with a free month, this allows you to keep your character instead of having to re-level someone every 2 weeks.
TRIAL INSTALLER
(If this site is not working let me know, it was down for maintenance last Sunday)
Use this to install the game
Alternatively this
The first link will install only PS, the other is SOE's general launcher which you then have to select to install PS, both require an account with SOE's Station
If the old school launcher is not working, set launchpad.exe to run in compatability mode for win95. Alternately you can use the SOE Beta LaunchPad, either work.
Remember, the trials sometimes will RANDOMLY suspended you, just a heads up.
If you have issues running the game, make sure launchpad.exe and planetside.exe are both being run in Win95 Compatibility mode
