Planetside 1 went free to play with no station cash logos anywhere to be seen.

That only real problem Planetside 1 has ever had is the fact that there's not enough people who play it. The world is always just too barren.

What server are you guys on ?
Names ?

What the hell, I'll give it a try.

There are two servers that I am aware of, the US mega server, and the EU mega server. I don't think you have the option of choosing. Just depends where you live.

Name's Bae'Lun Kyne, I'm like a 46 2h Sorc Tank.

Oh and I am on the Ebonheart Pact.

eso kind of blows

there is no economy to speak of

no end game to speak of


the pvp is not terrible

graphics and environment/physics is good


the hotbar and hotbar switching is horrid


I paid $60 and did the early release, played for like 3 weeks - havent logged in since.

Lol, well then. It looks like their is no hope..however I think uthgaard server is resetting so that could be a possibility if that's your cup of tea.

Older Holy trinity games are dumb because they limit you to one role - which leads to boredom - and it's also just not fun having to rely on someone else, especially if they're not available - on a timely basis - when you need them and even moreso if what's desired from them is not widely available.

Having said that, 'holy trinity' still exists in modern games, it has just been redefined to make it inclusive. You can still play tanking/dps/healing roles, you just don't have to do it permanently. You can respecc your class with little to no downtime and/or have access to healing/dps/tanking abilities that you use with cooldown timers in place. It's kind of like oldschool gameplay in ultima online, in terms of how players can rely on themselves, except which skills you can use effectively is more fluid. There're still problems with needing other players, as some missions or enemies require more players working together, but there's not nearly as much concern put on the class or abilities of each individual party member, thus making the whole grouping thing easier. Coupled with more solo-content and fast travel up to max level, and MMORPGs are more popular than ever.

So really there're a lot of 'holy trinity' games if you go by the modern definition.

out of all MMOs today, WoW is the only half decent one. Surprisingly.

well its not really canceled, but Kickstarter failed, and Brad gathering donations just to maintain the website. So unless some rich arse firm... <cough> SOE <cough> Microsoft, drops 100-200 mln on him... AGAIN... there won't be any Rising to be done...

But you may keep an eye on that MMo that creator of Ultima is making.
