Ouch guys that sux, Its still 8am here in Not so Sunny CA, mail doesnt come till around 10-11am. Im praying, and i left money in my mailbox, but my friend thinks its illeagal to bribe your mailman. I guess ill take it outl....in a bit.

Sarah Jinstar · 2003-04-17, 10:14 AM

Hmm thats pretty misleading now that I truly think about it. 3 days. They don't count the day it was shipped, and they don't tack on the extra day it actually takes to get to you. (Friday if I'm lucky) thats actually more like 4 or 5 days when you really think about it. Yet its called first class mail.. go fig.

I'd hate to see, "Third Class Mail"

Maybe it's some old guy in his Honda trying to drive across the ocean

Sarah Jinstar · 2003-04-17, 10:23 AM

LOL most likely! I was so looking forward to finally getting on there today too. *sob*

I'm actually scaring myself, I normally don't get all into pc games but something about planetside... I can totally see kissing my social life goodbye once this sucker ships lol

BigTony · 2003-04-17, 10:26 AM

Oooh i know what i can do to pass time, Homework! If homework means SOCOM then yea! Otherwise, id rather not.

How can some people in CA still NOT have the CD?

Sounds fishy to me.

Sarah sounds like the coolest Chick ever! I am trying really hard to become a Beta Tester, REALLY HARD!! You people talk about what your gonna do because the CD's haven't arrived yet, when I am trying to just become a beta tester, and I think its closed!!!

I live in Thousand Oaks, its about 3 hours away from San Diego. Ttyl

Baphomet · 2003-04-17, 11:57 AM

Well, no CD's here in Atlanta. SIGH. I wonder, i really do, if these cd's will reach the intended locations before the weekend as promised. Realistically. Im suppose (hope?) most of us will get ours tommorw, but given the (un)significant rapidity of the USPS, i wouldnt be suprised if there were a good many of us who wont recieve til Saturday or Monday. This is pure speculation, so take it with a grain of salt..

Heh, it's definitely cool to have a female like Planetside. It'll be nice to know all of the female models out there aren't going to be 13 year old boys. :

O:

When I get home at 5:00 I'll check my mail... but I'm preparing myself for more disappointment.

Kyonye · 2003-04-17, 12:04 PM

how big was the package? my friend is waiting for his.

he lives in an apartment and it could be put in his mail box. but he doesn't have the key to it. but if its a big package then that means that it will be brought right to his door.

Actually I find that the number of females in the multiplayer gaming world is increasing pretty sharply. Arguably, this can be attributed to MMORPG's, specifically Everquest, as females generally are more interested in socially themed games. As far as the female model thing, Kobe Tai of porn star fame is a figurehead of the Unreal community (i wish i was makign this up). She even appears in columns on modding and overclocking sites, and yes, she has a sweet modded case. Hell, even a lot of celebrites are being exposed as gamer nerds. Robin Williams, Jack Osbourne, etc. Guess the rest of the world is finally realizing what the more instinctually nerdy among us find so fun about online gaming

Wow it would be kinda weird if Robin Williams was playing planetside.
