Should I resub

[SomeGuy]

Ok,i dident know were to put this so,move it were it should go

Anyways,I was thinking about resubing,only problem,I lost my last account so im going have to pay the 20 bucks to rebuy it plus the 15 dollar sub. Im just wondering if its worth it with what people are saying about the pop. So is it worth it or should i just save my cash for PS2?

You don't have to buy the game. Just download it.

[SomeGuy]

actually,I do,I downloaded it,but i have to buy it from SOE and sub if i want to play.

[Zulthus]

All you have to do is make an account, subscribe, and use that client to play. You do not need to pay anything for the game.

[SomeGuy]

ahhh thanks...

[ubermenchen]

There is still good fights going on, even though the pop has dropped off.

[SuperMorto]

It was all kicking off today, me and Core got involved :)

Yeah, I think my NC brothers will burn me now for making a VS character.

No, you didn't do much so I'm sure you will be fine :)

Hey guys old school PS1 player...been checking out PS2 stuff for awhile now and itching to play the old school PS1 again. So I DLed the client, and went to www.SOE.com .... clicked on Game Pass Info to resub to Planetside, but there is no option to subscribe to Planetside 1 anymore?? Am I over looking anything or do you have to do the all access pass to be able to play PS1? Thanks for the help, really wanting to play some Planetside asap!!

[Crator]

^^^ Wow, what is up with that? I just checked with another account I have that isn't subbed and you are correct, no option for PS1.

[QuickShoesMcGee]

Ya I even tried creating a new account and going through the client and site didn't allow me to subscribe. Only thing I can hope for is a speedy beta and getting lucky enough to participate.

[TheBladeRoden]

Hmm I get options for a Planetside Game Pass

where does this link take you?

It sent me to Avast saying it has malware. :lol:
I can't load it up on either of my computers, even the one without Avast.
That's weird though, because my friend resubbed Tuesday with no issue.

[QuickShoesMcGee]

Thanks that linked actually worked, downloading full version through client now!

[Crator]

Um, that link is to purchase and download the client, not to subscribe.

PlanetSide All-in-One Bundle for $19.99
Planetside Aftershock Digital Download

[Leifanator]

Kinda in the same boat here. Saw PS2 and went "OMG! I remember PS1 and how fun it was!" and now I'm remembering why I hate SOE. Their website is confusing at the best of times and :mad: the rest.

Do I have to buy the game? Is the only way to sub is to get the all access whats-it?

Every time I try to search for answers I get deleted posts, removed pages, or answers relevant to 2007. This thread being the most likely place to find an answer.

And to continue on topic, is the game worth it? How likely am I to see some good action since I live in NZ (GMT +12)?

[Zulthus]

Read the first page.

[QuickShoesMcGee]

From the link and logging in my acct I was able to choose 14.99 a month subscribe option and didn't have any form of payment on file anymore and it allowed me to log into the client and download the game and says I have 45 days left.

[SuperMorto]

Well that's good news all-round :)

[SuperMorto]

the pops are getting much bigger,

[Stevo IRL]

I thought you didn't have to "buy" PS anymore, you just had to pay the subs, but when I got through the above link it asks me to buy "Planetside All in One Bundle"

[SuperMorto]

nah you can download it for free.

[Stevo IRL]

nah you can download it for free.

How so ?

[Crator]

I'm not 100% this still works cause I haven't used it in a while. But here ya go: http://planetside.station.sony.com/download.vm

[SuperMorto]

yup still works folks! :)

[Stevo IRL]

Does work? Just trying to install it now and when I run the Planetside exe after it's installed SOE Launch Pad only goes to 90% and then closes. May be McAfee blocking it but I don't know.

[Crator]

Should have something in McAfee Access Protection log if it did block it. Or you do you have McAfee Firewall too?

[Stevo IRL]

Hmm Ill check but im sorta dubious about that being the problem and half thinking it's something to do with SOE. Could someone actually clarify do you have to buy the game brand new from SOE or did they change it to a system where you just pay subs, this is if you have never bought PS before.

[Coreldan]

Back in 2010 I didnt have to pay for the game

[ubermenchen]

nice pops lately, cmon back

[Crator]

^^^ I'd agree... At least it's not a ghost town anymore... I'm seeing, on NC side, during peak hours typically 85 positions available on the high pop continents... It's definitely nothing like it was in hay-day still but there's decent fight happening...

[Ceno]

I'm an oldschool ps1 player also looking at ps2 and thinking how much fun it was. I left when they added BFR's. Started at launch. How much has changed since then and whats left?

[CuddlyChud]

Well, they didn't remove anything so basically everything is left. They nerfed BFRs (they're sort of underpowered now), added some vehicles, weapons and deployables, and raised the BR cap. And also increased the number of grenades you could carry. IMO it would actually be a better game, if only the pops were there.

[megamold]

i'm also an oldschool ps1 player and thinking of resubbing ( partly cause in my mind it will get me (in)to the ps2 beta faster :) )
a pop increase is a nice thing to hear, but is this also true for europe or will i still be fighting only the nighttime US players?

[Hmr85]

Resub'd today after a 2 month break myself. Pops are not great but there not horrible. There is still stuff to shoot.

[HitbackTR]

I am contemplating whether to re-sub after an er....5 year or so break. But I still can't bring myself to pay a sub for such an old, (but great) game.

[Atheosim]

Yeah, I just can't justify the $15 to pay for a shelllllll

[Coreldan]

Just like 30 mins ago there was a fairly long and epic (on current standards) battle between NC and VS over Jarl on Esamir.

Supermorto supposedly streamed the entire thing, so perhaps we'll get to see it from the other (loser :D) perspective :D

[HitbackTR]

Is there only one server now?

[Coreldan]

Is there only one server now?

Yes, Gemini in north america.

[HitbackTR]

is that further away than what Markov was? say from New Zealand? I am guessing it is.

[Atheosim]

I THINK that it's on US E Coast. So I THINK yes. Don't quote me.

[Logri]

Could not contain myself anymore... reactivated my account...
Happy to be back, nostalgia for the win, how I missed my sweet mistress!!

[Baneblade]

is that further away than what Markov was? say from New Zealand? I am guessing it is.

In the world of Interwebs, you shouldn't see much more than an increase of 20 ms over Markov.

[Erendil]

is that further away than what Markov was? say from New Zealand? I am guessing it is.

Gemini is the old Emerald server cluster renamed. So it's on the US East coast and would be a bit further from Kiwiland since Markov was west coast US.
