[Zakaah]

I'm at the moment an avid online gamer and am thinkin about gettin planetside but i want to know if my system is up to it

I've got a AMD athlon XP 2500
MSI Nforce2 motherbaord
MSI Geforce FX5600 256mb ram
512 ram
with an soon to be ISDN connection (BT being the idiots they are dont want to let me have broadband thats the price u play living in the glourius countryside sigh) so my connection will be 128kps
i've got the guts for the game in my system but i want to know if i'm gonna be playged by LAG problems which i dipise

also after doin alot of research into this game as it intreagues me if i do gettin i reckon i'd be a vanu galaxy pilot is this wise or suicide

Your setup should handle Planetside, though another 512MB RAM would be better. PS has a mad memory leaking problem.

As far as your connection goes, Planetside has a great feature to optimise your experience. There are three settings in game based on your conn. speed.

Low = 56kers
Medium = you
High = broadbanders

Look for the settings in your options tab. the default I think is high, but you can easily select medium.

Yah what he said ^^^

Being a VS galaxy pilot is 3 certs, you should start planning some more stuff that you wanna get, theres a cert calculator at the home page of planetside universe, and no, GAL pilots are essential to Raids and just a plain squad, it aint suicide, unless you make it a bomber :P
