Re: Your PlanetSide 1 Experience Timeline


I'm not sure anymore. I certainly didn't play it on release because I found out about it by chance. I think it was before Core Combat was released... or maybe I just purchased it later.

Must have had a little break after that (7 days trials wasn't available anymore and I didn't have the money). Played again in 2007 with reserves and quit after that again.
I'd loved to play more but I don't like monthly fees.

Re: Your PlanetSide 1 Experience Timeline


originally played on markov in late 2003, moved to Emerald in 2004 and made P0INTMAN. This was after a rather large schism within my first outfit, D2A on Markov. I saw Aftershock and biffers rip the community apart.

You should be able to see the date you added the game to your station account.

Good opportunity for the first post. started my career on release of the game and "officially" ended it (though not permanently) when my Outfit on Werner reached 10 Mio OPs thus locking the counter.

Release. I actually walked into a video game store which is long gone by now, and just picked Planetside up off the shelf. I soon realized my computer could not handle large scale fights so i stayed away from the zerg, did home defense etc, eventually built a computer for the game.

I didn't even know it existed until like 7 months ago.
And I hate that. Because I know I missed a great game.

I was too busy playing Counter-Strike at the time I guess...

Re: Your PlanetSide 1 Experience Timeline


It may be more interesting to ask when folks STOPPED playing.
As for me I left sometime around when the reserves landed, pops were dropping and I had been both getting sick of the same shit different day cornercamping mossiewhore locking down towers while ADADADAD warping to avoid bullets and friends were making sink more time into playing other MMO's (EQ2 mostly but also the occasional month of WoW).
Returned a few times for the odd month but no changes meant no interest in staying.
BFR's didnt kill the game for me, only accelereated my lack of enjoyment (Magrider versus bunny-hopping-supertank? Pass).

Gunning a BFR is the ONLY thing in PS1 I refused to do after my first experience, especially in the "talented mr stompy" VS mech, it looked like a kid having a tantrum, stamp (shake) wobble, stamp (shake) wobble, stamp (shake) wobble, but no forward movement.
Thats from someone that loves AAAAreckless disregard for gravity, tribes, battlezone, and other vertigo inducing games.

#edit#
BF2143 came the closest to recreating the planetside 1 feel. As such I loved it intensly for a short time. (but in the end it was a battlefield game so the lifespan was limited to how soon the cheats became prolific)

That too would be an interesting poll.

Re: Your PlanetSide 1 Experience Timeline


Heard about PS1 a month or two before it was released from a friend I worked with at Circuit City at the time. I remember him hyping me up about all the differences PS1 had from a standard FPS. I was definitely ready for a change. I grabbed a hard copy of PS1 off of Circuit City's shelves the day of it's release and played it intensly for the next 3-4 years (yes, even after BFRs were introduced). I gradually stopped playing due to the rapidly decreasing populations of the servers.

I really hope this time around they market PS2 a lot better than it's predecessor. To me, that was PS1's most critical flaw that led to its downfall. If you don't advertise the game well and draw in more people then it won't matter how much new content you add over time.

Funny thing is, the only reason I tried (or found out about) Planetside was because I had bought a station pass sub. Now Planetside is the only SoE franchise I'm interested in.
