View Full Version : Since PSU Went Offline...


Hamma

So what have you been up to since PSU went offline?

Myself - I played WoW for a while then discovered that it was pure hell and I would need to dedicate 90% of my life in order to defeat the people with all epic items leveling me at every pass. Took some time off from gaming for a while after that and in the past 3 months I returned to PlanetSide. I have been having a blast since - and realised that I could probably bring this beast back with some modifications.

So what did you do? :brow:

Well things got a little rocky for me towards the end of PSU - My Internet connection was gone, and RL presented it's ugly head. I wasn't even online at the end, but I held my moment of silence when PSU closed it's doors.

Since then I have moved, now have a "real" broadband connection with DSL and like Hamma, got caught up with CDL playing WoW. Was a good run but also came with it's share of headaches with respect to the guild. Unlike Planetside where a BR3 and a BR25 can fight side by side, WoW tends to seperate and isolate members who aren't at the same level. Once Level 60 is reached, then end-game content repeats the same process with those who want to spend their life in pursuit of epic gear, and those who don't. It's been a problem for all the gaming clans playing WoW. While I do hop on once in a while - my WoW playing time is minimal and I find myself coming back to none other than .... my old friend Planetside!

With many of my clan mates ready for a change and having taken that break, we all find the game enjoyable still and just a lot of fun playing as a team. It's nice to see the loyalty of the community still holding a great game together and as Hamma said, we both miss the absense of PSU especially with so much time in-game recently.

It's nice to be back, and I look forward to seeing many familiar names telling us what YOU'VE been doing since PSU was gone. :love:

I played Lineage II for a few months but the grind chased all my friends away so I left as well. They all started playing SWG so I tried it out and got stuck with that for some time. Mainly I have been playing WoW since it's beta and have been a member of the Cosmos UI team for some time developing their site and doing addon maintenance. I probably wont get back into PlanetSide, though I will try and play here and there, I missed PSU and I really like developing and providing web community content.

I played an obscene amount of WoW and got kind of burned out on the whole thing, as Hamma pointed out.

I still play WoW, but I can't get away from this PS addiction. The small squad action and the troops of the CDL have always been the best time in my gaming life. We added a few troops since our last excursion into Auraxis and they are really adding strength to our Outfit.

Good to see this site back online, as I know Hamma and his crew have a great thing going here.

I too like Hamma got caught up in WoW along with the Dragonwolves. Was a great run and I had a blast getting both my charater to 60. But as may other I got tired and wanted something new. So Hamma suggested PS which I have level quickly from Br 3 (where I left off) to Br19 Cr2 . I'm having a blast rolling around with my team mates and enjoy Cloaking around alot:evil: Most of all I Love this game simply because no matter what rank you can role along side a Br25 and still make a difference. Im so glad PSU is back :groovy:

WoW is the devil and I drank the grape kool-aid along with the rest of CDL. But I still play WoW on Twisting Nether on the Horde side. Name's Dragoth btw.

I am slowly getting that feeling that I used to have in Planetside...the feeling of accomplishing the impossible with the most unfriendly weapons in Planetside. :)

I haven't been playing PlanetSide as hardcore as I used to... I've been playing Devil May Cry 3 hardcore, mostly.

Holy fuck, never thought this would happen. Glee.

Played some WoW, finally got tired of the pointless gear grind (although Warlocks are an awesome, fun, lore-filled class. RP with my Gnomelock was ridiculously fun.) Also played/playing EVE.

I'll reactivate my account with the free offer, but I can't resub until I get some solid income. Just knowing PSU lives again fills me with teh glee, though.

Holy crap......Holy crap.....:eek:


Yah like everyone else, I played WoW for alittle bit on my friends account, then he changed his password. Now i'm stuck with BF:2 and CC:S (both friends game). Still playing PlanetSide, nearly 3 years now.....finally have a faster internet too.


/edit/ (wanted to talk lil bout wow)

I hate wow. Thing is at my school theres a teen center and they have computers there with tons of games on them. People will waste their entire life on them playing just Wow. I mean lunch, play WoW, go back to class, after school, play Wow, go to your sport, after that, play wow, get picked up and go home, play wow. I mean COME ON.....get a life. Wow is a waste of time. I like it, its enjoyable, its pretty impressive when you get to higher levels, but its time consuming. Everyone calls you a noob when you are lvl 10 and they are 40. yeah thats chill, i'll just get off and go have sex, you just sit and play Wow for the next 5 days and become lvl 41. If thats how you roll, thats chill with me.


had to get that out.

Well lets see... Since last August I've been playing a fair amount of EVE, even had a month or so in WoW, only got to lvl 30 though before I decided I can't stand it anymore. TBH I'm glad I didn't let it suck me in any more than that. I also played F.E.A.R, (which reminds me, I really need to finish the campaign, I'm very near the end) and it kicked ass. But mostly I've been in EVE, though I just got through reinstalling PlanetSide (inspired by the site coming back) and fighting on TR Emerald alongside my brother and Peacemaker with my crappy BR 7 character. I really should play a little bit of Emerald NC and get my BR 23 up to 24 so I can pimp out with the sunglasses... :p

I don't find a ton of time for games, working full time for ADT now (the security company) and hanging out at the bar with my coworkers. My manager seems to believe that all of us going and getting drunk together on Wed. nights will improve our teams efficiency, and I'm inclined to agree with her. I'll still be around though and you might be seeing me back in PS now and then, I have to say today was a blast and I'm happy to discover that I can still pwn hard. :D

EDIT- I guess a picture is worth a thousand words...

Yeah, I submitted to WoW as well along with a few of my friends. Though I'm still having fun at L60, I completely agree, if my guild didn't do BWL, this game would not be fun. Raiding aside, the game is empty at L60.

I've also dodged--well, I got smacked around by a few hurricanes, mainly Katrina (before it obliterated New Orleans) and Wilma.

I'm still quite the FPS gamer, as I'm playing Battlefield 2 and now Quake 4. Edit (I finished Call of Duty 2. Great game. "THE-GUNS-AREN'T-HERE!")

Other than that, I'm currently in the nail-biting college application process. I've applied to like six schools and I'm currently doing all the financial aid crap.
