Epic SOE Memories on Planetside's Ninth Anniversary
Article on Massively
"Though the word "epic" is overused in MMO discourse, it's a recurring theme here. Due to the size, scope, and sheer ambition on display in the original PlanetSide, it's actually appropriate too. While you're reminiscing with the devs, take a stroll through our side-by-side gallery that compares vehicles and equipment from the original PlanetSide with their counterparts in PlanetSide 2."

"We were getting ready to launch Aftershock. The Auraxis construct was prepping to twist itself into subspace tunnels, pushing the continents across the cosmos to different planets, yet leaving them connected.
It was cool and the players didn't know what was coming. But we foreshadowed the planetary reconfigure by triggering earthquakes and dropping asteroids on the planet, manually. At first, we didn't have any automated way to do the barrages and every day, at random parts of the day, I would search the world for combat hot spots and then manually trigger barrages of space rocks and increasingly large earthquakes, unleashing my little slice of randomness on the unsuspecting players."
Some nice side by side shots,
Does this not look too front heavy? lol
