Re: PlanetSide 1 Free for Six Months


i think it will be very interesting, if subscribed ps2 players who never played ps1 also get this free ps1 time. i am sure quite some will want to take a look.
would like to know what they think of the old concepts and mechanics compared to the actual ps2 stuff!

already heard some positive voices of new players taking a peek!

It's like my laptop knew I'd make it suffer through Planetside 1 again if it went free - it died last night. Hopefully the pops will be high when I get to my apartment and have my desktop again in a week.

They have to pretend they are hard core and not play PlanetSide2 because it doesn't have X system they want.

Thanks for this, SOE. I'll be hopping on as soon as my sub updates.

It's not that I hate it, I have great memories of it. I wish some of the features were in PS2, like most... but no way can I go back to that game. The last time I played it, it still would occasionally crash on a brand new machine I built by hand last year (the last time it went free for awhile.)

I prefaced the post with the 'no offense' because there are people that are very sensitive and ride the nostalgia wave with a keyboard instead of a surfboard, and attack people who are a little more realistic.

Define crashing you experience? It would indeed crash for me as well after playing for a while (at least an hour or more) but only when switching continents. But it wasn't that big of a hassle cause I'd just log back in and keep playing. But if your crashing was more frequent and occurring randomly I would be annoyed too.

They weren't going to play PS2 anyways, and now it lets PS2 become its own game without having to cater too much to the previous games crowd.

Also, any revenue from ads in PS1 will actually now support PS2.

Dunno, if it were bundled in with another sub or free or whatever magic bullet brings the good times back, I'd play both. Planetside when I want to have a good time and PS2 for when I'm bored/there's not the pop on Planetside

Seriously though, I played for around 8 hours without even thinking about it. Nowadays I can't go a couple hours in PS2 without getting pissed off (and 9/10, an accompanying headache)

I will say, I had forgotten how fucked shit was in the lower BRs. No MCG? Where's the fun in that? Also, fuck walking because I've spent all my certs on HA. Wish I still had my original BR 25/CR3 acct.
