Transitioning from PS 1 to PS 2 [Final Event & Video]

[Xyntech]

any info on what time this week our accounts will become active? They haven't yet.

Higby said they are shooting for Thursday, but no promises. Sounds like they intend to give everyone access by the weekend if not before, so plenty of time to be in by the 1st.

[EagleStalker]

Will be there. Was in Roughriders - Werner NC.

Hopefully my brother will be there also, he was in BHO.

Android magic posted this.

This grant will be processed by 11:59 PM PST June 27th, 2012, however as there are a large volume of accounts some may receive grants earlier than others.

:D

[Xyntech]

Awesome. Thanks Hamma and Higby.

So they intend to have everybody activated by the start of early Thursday AM. Very cool.

But... but... When will players start getting in? They must give us a date...

...

If only I could pay $15 to start playing Planetside 2 this instant ;)

[ColRipper]

I will be there representing TOG (the older gamers), trying to get excitement rustled up, but our group is freakin huge and most of the old PSers have gone to the wind.


[edit] we are NC, Markov represent!

[edit2] and fantastic videos. So many awesome memories. Cannot wait to shoot y'all in the face again :D

[SixShooter]

Now no Former has an excuse... If your outfit isnt listed... TELL ME, I really want to have a registrar of outfits for this event.

I will be representing Reborn Light, probably by myself but hoping to round up some of the old crew.

[Zidane]

GO TR!!!

[Nobel]

I have Added a Link to the EVENTS Page.

[Tatwi]

I'll be there on my Vanu character, Vanwi.

Thanks for the free time SOE! I have 6,300 Station Cash, but no budget for a sub at this point. :)

[TheBladeRoden]

I'm just clicking login on the launcher over and over until it stops saying "You need to setup a subscription."

[NapalmEnima]

*sniff*

I'll be there to one degree or another.

[Xyntech]

I'm just clicking login on the launcher over and over until it stops saying "You need to setup a subscription."

3 hours left 'til we're all supposed to be in. Still nothing on my end. To just give up and resubscribe, or to contact their support department? That is the question...

[Mr DeCastellac]

I was told by BadPotato (DeathBringer's outfit lead) to post that DB (VS) will be there, if you want to add it to the list.

[lazer1982]

you Can Count DARK SKYES (TR) in as well im shure a fell will Show up....

[Zidane]

Cant wait for Sunday!!!

[The Kush]

Reconnected with one of my old outfits, the NC Spec Ops will be there, holding it down as the most efficient outfit to this day

[Tybo]

W00t!:groovy:

[Huntsab]

Higby mentioned that PS1 will continue far into the future and WILL NOT END as PS 2 goes live. So not final event, just a transition event to get people hyped for beta, as if that's necessary :) :groovy:

[kejel]

damn song always gets me choked.... damn fine vid

[Satexios]

I'll be there to crash the servers :P

[SixShooter]

Bumpity Bumpity Bumpity Bump

Soo happty about this - see y'all there:groovy:

For over 9 years many of us have now played Planetside 1. As we prepare in the coming weeks for the servers to be essentially dead; We wish to provide her a decent farewell ceremony, as well as an exciting build up to the start of Closed Beta for Planetside 2.

As Such Azure Twilight has been preparing a very special video and event for this occasion. All of the footage has been taken in the past two months, and was designed to be watched in 1080p, Fullscreen:

HART B, WEST SIDE : Our Farewell to Planetside - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ldt8vYlst8)

Here is another video made by Aewep (AWP on the Forums)

Planetside Day - July 1st, 2012 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HnY-PyiOnc&feature=player_embedded)

As you can see July 1st has been declared Planetside Day. Here we hope for every outfit that has every played planetside to return to Planetside for at least one day.

SOE has promised to support us in this endeavour; although we do not yet know in what way, we trust that they will want as many people as possible to experience this.

At one point in the day (EST Primetime) we will have a farewell parade, the exact location/time will be announced on July 1st.

[Bags]

Phew, was scared with the recent power outages I'd miss this.

Got it back just in time!

[KALU]

Great videos, thank you for preserving a piece of gaming history we can always go back to and reminisce on.

[WiteBeam]

Phew, was scared with the recent power outages I'd miss this.

Got it back just in time!

Dang. Good for you. Mine is still out for the second day straight in VA. I hope it come back up soon.

[Galcyon]

Power outage looks like its going to keep me out. :(

[1Shotwonder]

Propz on the Video .... Will be on today!

[kertvon]

I never got my 30-day pass. :(

[SixShooter]

Sooo much awesomeness happening right now!!! I love this shit!!!:lol:

[SixShooter]

Today was super fun. Thanks to Nobel and AT for making it happen. The stream caught the parade but missed the OS clusterfuck (I totally slacked and sat in queue the whole time). I really hope someone puts up a good vid of the event. Over all it was a lot of good fights with pop locks all over the place. Thank again for good time:D

[Electrofreak]

I had a lot of fun today. Spent too much time sitting in poplock queues but it was still fun. :D

[Redshift]

Planetside farewell parade - YouTube

[Furber]

What an incredible day for Planetside, 4 pop locks at once was amazing to see. I had loads of fun with friends I haven't played with in years, I even managed to get CR5 on my original character. A little bummed about the absence of some kind of announcement that I think there was supposed to be, but all in all that was one hell of a celebration for Planetside.

[DirtyBird]

The NC seemed to have far too many CR5's that seriously are tools and type shit just for the sake of it.
This isnt news for most of you and its akin to Barrens chat for those familiar with WoW.
I'm guessing the other factions probably suffer from the same thing.

And I suspect those that did try to give the impression they were organising something for everyone must have given their zergfits the heads up before everyone else (your rent a crowd).
It was always select outfits moving out before the others who had just been told in global chat to, wait for incoming instructions.


All in all intentions were no doubt good, thanks to those that tried.
But nothing beats the battles of circa 2003-2004 when CR5's were not so abundant and generally worked together and ignored the few ignorant ones.
Back then its was Planetside Day most weekends.


Planetside 2 cannot come soon enough.

[JPalmer]

Go to the time stamp in the title.

This from my perspective of the TR parade and the official one. So awesome. http://www.twitch.tv/johnp26/b/323352059

[CardiffGreens]

Awesome work to everyone involved - whether through organising, or those making sure I spent most of the weekend staring at a respawn screen - was great to come back to a game that felt as busy as it should.

Fantastic to watch the parade out of Forseral getting all the way to the base without disintegrating into a giant mess - shame I managed to miss the OS's go off as I was too preoccupied in trying to get mine set up so notice the 14 that were blowing me to smithereens =P

[Francko]

Thanks everyone for making Planetside Day the best day ever. I can only think of one day that could be better....

BETA DAY!!
