As Such Azure Twilight has been preparing a very special video and event for this occasion. All of the footage has been taken in the past two months, and was designed to be watched in 1080p, Fullscreen:

HART B, WEST SIDE : Our Farewell to Planetside - YouTube

Here is another video made by Aewep (AWP on the Forums)

Download Planetside 1 : http://launch.soe.com/installer/Planetside_setup.exe

Some users of 64 Bit Windows 7 have the bug where their memory buffer won't dump its cache when recalling to sanct and end up crashing the game on a recall. If you experience this, simply re-install DirectX 9 which has DX8 calls (Service Pack 1 removed some hardware support for DX9 and less games), as well as C++ 2008 and 2010 for 64 Bit Edition. Restart your system, launch the game once (via Run-As-Admin if needed), reset the texture mapping to 256MB and save (in Options of game), and exit the game. Check Tesco Offers (https://www.offerstw.com/tesco/) and Lidl Offers (https://www.offerstw.com/lidl/). When you restart the game, the game's texture dump should now not crash the DirectX memory dump call, and you should be able to recall to sanctuary safely.

With the community interaction they have shown as of late, I would be surprised if they didn't make this day free, allowing all veterans to come back without having to activate.

[This Message is Purely my opinion and doesn't rest on the laurels of any inside knowledge]

I have a decent feeling that with the tweet Smedley put out they will make PS1 Accessible, they have a great community team now, and I would say personally it is fairly likely they will open it up in some way.

Gosh Nobel, you make it hard for me right now.

One one hand, this is not PS2 related, and belongs to the PS1 section.
On the other hand, i want to make sure people know about the Event, and log on for the entire weekend!

To move or not to move, that is the question.

Guess i sleep a week or Two about it. ;)

I promise you this, even if you resubbed and played today, on a random wednesday; you would absolutely get your 15 dollars worth of gameplay. PS1 is really quite strong right now, were having tons of fun in game; if you dont have anyone to run with, all three empires have outfits still constantly recruiting.

Trust me, join back up... you wont regret it.

Damn! I installed off disk on December 29 2003 (a year earlier than I remembered!) and was all excited to play. But the first thing it did was start downloading patches. On my 250k/50k "broadband" it took all night to download!

The game died in 2006, but I'm still tempted...

The game never died. It had its Great time, then good times, then sad times, and then good times again.
We always knew those good times will come every now and then, and we enjoyed them.

But this time is different. This time is the last time we have a chance to see the great times again, even if its just for a day. This time its the last time we will have those good days again.
This time, its the last time for Planetside to shine, for us to shine. On July 1st, we say farwell to the Game that got us all together. We say goodbye the way its ment to say goodbye to Planetside: With massive combat everywhere.

If you dont want to drop 15 bucks for it, thats your choice. But keep in mind that this opportunity will not come again, and this is the very last chance for everyone of us to see those big battles again in Planetside, and have our memorys refreshed once more.

Has SOE made an official announcement that Planetside is going to be shutdown July 1? Did I miss something?

There is Strong evidence to point that Beta will begin shortly after July 1st, at which point no one will want to play PS1 any longer. We want to give her a dignified farewell.

Nobel
2012-06-20, 02:58 PM
You are joking right? Everyone currently in PS right now is getting into beta Day 1? Is there something more official than your theorizing? RadarX?

Yes, People can play, yet the majority of outfits (who make up the majority organizing in PS1) wont be focusing on PS1, as most of the higher up officers will more than likely be getting into PS2; at that point, there is no motivation. This is the best time to get the best farewell possible.

When I saw the early cuts of Nobel's video I thought "this is achingly beautiful". I'm glad to see that others share that sentiment for his fine work.

Our goal for Planetside Day is simply to celebrate this amazing game with a massive all-empire raid. My goal is to have two poplocks. And a parade that displays brotherhood without hate.

I think that even this event alone is worth $15. (Been to the movies lately? This will be better.) That being said -a free day/month would be a nice gesture.

Either way, we look forward to playing with you all.

Planetside forever.

Simply superb vid sir. Sublimely subtle.
Good enough to break my 9 year PSU lurking virginity.

Question is, who the hell do I turn up to the parade with? I am now wearing purple Rexo (but with Red/Black underpants).

Hope the beta is a while off as I still have no idea where my faction loyalties lie.

If anyone else is thinking about coming back, it's so very worth it. Had a blast knowing I could sit there and guard a hallway without worrying about someone sneaking up from behind! You just don't get this kind of unspoken teamwork in any other game.

Need to have a spam of #clearcomms on Twitch for this Nobel... Just saying ;)

This isn't something AT have done for themselves. This is something 13 VS outfits agreed to try. Using social media and the wonderful resources at PSU we (the PS community) have spread the word. The TR and NC will stomp through our lines and each others and so the war continues... :groovy:

When was the last time something like this happened that THE COMMUNITY organised? With the continued help of the community we can make it massive.

If SoE could be so kind as to throw Veteran PS1 players a bone we could make it huge. I think we can all agree PS2 "feels" close and the fate of PS1 with the possibility of a mass exodus to greener pastures is left unknown. So why not take a day, have some fun and show our love, respect and fond memories of one of the greatest MMOFPS games ever?

Stop the hating and lets just kill each other :p

Long Forgotten Soldiers were originally a Werner VS outfit. We have a very tenuous link to Forgotten Soldiers of Emerald NC way back in the very early days.

We were one of the largest VS outfits on Werner for a very long time. Many of us stopped playing with the decline of Werner and only a few continued to play on Gemini, with the likes of myself and a few others showing up from time to time. I think Nerak and Emetic are still playing daily however.

But the core of LFS are still in contact, and will be dusting of Pulsars, calibrating Heavy Rail Beams and holding the line once again.

Awesome work on the video, though I now appear to have something in my eyes (tears, salty manly tears! Grr!)

Seeing all those awesome vistas about the place had it all flooding back - really can't believe it was 9 years ago when I was staying up late and saw a gaming show on ITV at 3 am showcasing this awesome new team-based shooter that was online with hundreds of players and had these awesome looking Purple armour-clad trooper running about the place.

It's incredible that so many people are still here talking about it, whatever happens of the sequel, I'll always hold Planetside as possibly the greatest gaming experience I've ever had - for all the foibles and "quirks", it was the players that made it such a great gaming world to be part of.

Oh, and now I'm off to stick the Gladiator OST on loop, been years since I have last listened to it =D

Unfortunately I will be 1800 miles away from my computer at that time.
However, talking with outfit, hopefully there will be a few players from Sons of Vanu there. If they are there, one of the guys will officially post later.

Great job on the video guys. Definitely brought me back to the original years and all the good memories. And excellent idea. Thank you so much for coming up and organizing this. Not sure what SOE has in mind, but for the parade portion making 1 of the continents a no fire zone would allow the event to take place with out being nuked by OS's. My 2 cents . . .

I had to re-download a few weeks ago after wiping HDDs, and it only took 30 mins. Remember, 9 year old game here.

And lastly, hoping you (or anyone) are planning on making a video about this event. Since I will be missing it I want to be able to put it on repeat and bask in the memory of the glory days. lol

New gaming rig arrives tomorrow... if I can get Planetside running on Windows 7 then I will be there!

The game runs on Windows 7 however some folks with 64bit have experienced problems when recalling to sanc in that the game crashes for them. It is related the the cache dump not happening and direct x. Pounce from GotR posted on AT's forums with the fix for it. Since she made the post I'll drop it in here and give her thanks and credit for it!

Some users of 64 Bit Windows 7 have the bug where their memory buffer won't dump its cache when recalling to sanct and end up crashing the game on a recall. If you experience this, simply re-install DirectX 9 which has DX8 calls (Service Pack 1 removed some hardware support for DX9 and less games), as well as C++ 2008 and 2010 for 64 Bit Edition. Restart your system, launch the game once (via Run-As-Admin if needed), reset the texture mapping to 256MB and save (in Options of game), and exit the game. When you restart the game, the game's texture dump should now not crash the DirectX memory dump call, and you should be able to recall to sanctuary safely.

First i want to thank you for the great event. To be honest i almost had tears dropping down when i saw the vid and all the great memories came back. The huge battles the poplocks the great fights and all the friends and enemys we made during the last few years.

Thank you so much for the vid and the event.

Ok and now its enough with all the sentimental crap. Its time the roll huge amounts of prowlers and get some huge Max Crashes going. Smurf bashing and fish raping.

Blood Legion will join this event heck i even plan to stay on for 24 hours!

Not as of yet no.

I would not count on a free weekend though.

Alright, in that case I'll just subscribe.

P.S. I know the name is kinda funky. I was only a kid when I made it.

And my outfit still isn't listed...

maybe we won't show up then.


I resubbed and I already hate the game again. It runs like shit on the lowest settings and everyone remaining plays like shit. Suicides, nothing but plasma, vehicle door camping, team killing as a tank for kills.

:doh:

Was hoping for my $15 worth resub, but lolno. Oh well, I'll be there on the 1st.

Oh, my friend will be there, so you can add outfit "Fun Overload" to TR list if you want.

I actually played for a few hours with these guys (TheUnforgotten) the other day. It was really fun getting back into the game, and I can't wait to fight along side them on whatever server we all choose.

As a Sentinel, I respect the power of AT! That's a big deal!

The game runs on Windows 7 however some folks with 64bit have experienced problems when recalling to sanc in that the game crashes for them. It is related the the cache dump not happening and direct x. Pounce from GotR posted on AT's forums with the fix for it. Since she made the post I'll drop it in here and give her thanks and credit for it!






Thank you very much MrHamma sir :D
Thanks for the heads up, I've got the client installing now (on my dinner break from work) hope to be able to play when I get back in in a few hours!

Its from the Gladiator soundtrack, called 'Now we are free':

♫ Soundtrack - Gladiator - Now We Are Free (with lyric).flv - YouTube

Yes, its an amazing song for an amazing film :).

Was that the song on the first video played on page 1? I mean't the song in the second video below the first one.

Went like..

Dert, Dert, BAP*echo*!....

Or something.

Brother, amazing trailer campaign ad.Not one I can take credit for, unfortunately. Back during PS Beta, we had a guy in our outfit who actually worked for a company who put out many of the movie trailers of the day. When it was announced that PSU was going to start up AGN, their radio show, he went and made up a handful of these for PSU itself, as well as a few other outfits to be played as ads.

We actually bumped into the guy again while playing Rift. Small world!

Hi All,

When it's for free I can get some people from the Dutch Rebellion online as well.
Although there is a time zone issue and we will miss some things it would be fun for just one day.
We will meet again in PS2!

Nice idea btw!

Not sure when during the day as I live in France, tho...
And I shall not be the only one from Outcasters (TR) to be there, so you can add us up.

All these years of playing Planetside, and only now I registered here, just for this event.
(although I've been reading PSU for a long time)

So I'm here to announce, that the 5th Regiment (NC, ex-Werner) will most likely show up.
We are still debating it and try to figure who has time and is willing to resubscribe.

Have been on a couple of times this week - funny driving about in an ANT to all the old places and listening to all the music - funny how I've not played much in years, but now have the urge to get on more since it might not be there much longer =D

I'm going to be travelling back home (I'm in Boston for a year while my girlfriend does service work for inner city youth) and won't be near my usual equipment. I'm going to spend July 1st at home, getting re-upped for this event, and playing with my 666 devil dog brothers for this event. I started playing this game when I was 14. I'm now 23, a combat veteran of Iraq, and I've never been so excited about something before. That second video was really moving, honestly. +1 for sure. Looking forward to this.

A massive thank you to every single member of this community for coming together and making this work! On the same note. Thank you so much to SOE and PSU for supporting the community and the event.

I cannot think of any other community in the gaming industry to date where this could be arranged by the PLAYERS themselves and I think every single on of us deserves a pat on the back for contributing towards that.

So show your appreciation to Sony
Show your appreciation to PSU
Show your appreciation to our Devs and CSR's
and lastly show your appreciation to each other by killing the enemy :groovy:

I hope we have a great day and I hope we get the events done respectfully.

For land. For power. Forever! See you guys Planetside
