New to Planetside!

[Turok]

Morning to you all,

Well recently i've decided to play a new MMO. I've come from 3 years of Dark Age of Camelot, but now it's 'dying' in a way.

I've been browsing the net and PS caught my eye. A couple of easily answered questions to the experienced player will be asked, if you could answer i'd be very greatful.

Is planetside dying? Whats the population of the Werner server during peak times?

I've downloaded the reserves package, once i reach BR6 will i need to start all over again or can i just renuw my subscription and upgrade my account or do i need to go to the local game shop and buy a full box-set ?

To cut a long story short, is it worth playing Planetside? It looks a great deal of fun to play with the base capturing and so on.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
