So I was complaining to my friend that I didn't see any MMOFPS's

[Mythoclast]

And he's all "Ever hear of Planetside?" And then I was here. Anything you wanna tell a complete n00b?

Yeah there is a whole section dedicated to new comers, and also a search function on the forum.

'Strap in' covers it pretty well.

What a warm welcome! Glad to see this community is similar to other FPS communities I have been a part of! Well, assuming that a sample size of one is any test of the general population.

I just got a little misty eyed because that is EXACTLY how I heard about Planetside myself. The only difference is, I was lucky enough to have that conversation back in May 2003. However, you did pick a perfect time to discover Planetside. Sign up for beta and you'll get to see what you've been missing pretty soon.

Eh, they're especially cranky about keeping topics in one thread around here. Also, I'd avoid any signs of a Ps1 Vet vs Noob debate. Past that, it's a pretty friendly bunch.

someone had to say it...
look for the planetside presentation, or just watch one of the many presentation videos, you'll learn more than anything we could tell you...

EDIT: oh and prepare new panties.

Welcome to the fold, man!

This forum can get a little heated I've found, and can be an intimidating place. But there are lots of decent folk here, and theres lots of discussion to be had.

If you're wondering about stuff about the game, I'd recommend posting some questions in the new members section.
Other than that, just enjoy the show!

I definitely signed up. I'm usually late to the part when it comes to games. I took one look at the graphics and my current laptop can't even run it but my friend (same one who told me about PS2) is gonna build me a spiffy new desktop.

I looked at the newcomer's forum and I don't even understand half the questions. Is there a new-newcomers forum or maybe some magical FAQ thingamabob? I hearing from actual people and not just premade stuff or reading old conversations though.

Actually got my sights on this game by looking at games that played like C&C Renegade.

Its not quite that, and the shooting is the very popular style I don't tend to like *sigh, of course*, but I'm still kind of excited.

Protip: Play Vanu.
