Clear, concise, and extremely helpful.

Definitely sticky worthy.

Anyone else still find it ironic that the main server select/empire select screen is still hoovering above one planet? Like after all this time since the planet exploded??

Awesome Guide Westy!

I'd recommend changing the download to this though:

http://planetside.station.sony.com/download.vm

It's direct from SOE. Otherwise great guide - went ahead and made it a Sticky thread.

Now Westy will need to edit it in two places

Ghryphen · 2011-02-25, 08:31 PM

There ya go (see first post), now just edit the wiki

On the newest station, it lists all of SOE's MMOs for me. It asks if I want to activate or try on all of them except star wars galaxies (which I also played besides planetside). It asks me for cdkey/code for planetside, for which I enter my # that I got from direct2drive when I purchased the game way back when. Says it is invalid or used (even though I used it on this account). I basically don't want to but planetside again, but I'm willing to pay monthly. I swear SOE doesn't want more subscribers. This is so difficult

HELP!

*EDIT* It just occurred to me that I might have had more than one account... found my other login haha. Feel free to delete this, SORRY!
