How did you find it, first memory and best memory? (PS1/PS2)

'Lo guys!

Basically this post is here to find out what your experiences of PlanetSide have been. I want to know how you came across this wondrous game, your first few back-flashes as a newb stepping onto Auraxis and your best memory so far since playing. Why? Maybe because my computers broke and waiting to be fixed and need something to fill my time as I crave more PS, or to give people a chance to reflect and remember those 'Wow' moments PlanetSide has been able to provide from the beginning and share them with people from all around the globe with similar experiences, or even tell new guys 'n' gals of what you can expect from this great game.

Here's mine:

It was around five-six years ago as I was playing a game called 'Boundless Planet' (ermahgerd it's still up http://www.boundlessplanet.com/) I was twelve at the time and wanted to expand my AOI, so I built up an army and moved in on one of my neighbours named Gusty88. I was hoping he wasn't online, but he was and didn't fight back, so me and him started to chat. He then mentioned "I might head back to 'PlanetSide'" What was this 'PlanetSide' he mentions? So I then began my investigation on the interweb and found this.http://planetside.station.sony.com/

Being a simple minded twelve year old I thought ERMAHGAERD FLASHY THINGS. It looked amazing to me!

Then the time came, the game loaded up and I couldn't wait to jump in, sadly the only first few moments I have from the first time playing is dropping out of the sky in my TR drop pod, landing outside of Voltan on Hossin, while nearing the ground I saw a friendly harasser drive past my drop pod just as I landed. thats it, pretty shitty , probably because I thought 'Where teh feck am I and what do I do?'.

My best memories of PS can only be summarized in PS1, not PS2 unfortunately, doesn't offer those truly 'wow' moments, yet but too many to go through so can't really do this part myself so there can be no single amazing memory for me as PlanetSide has delivered too god damn many. My only hopes at the moment are that PS2, can live up to PS1 in the sense of those such moments such as the great last stands, the large 'Raids' that would build up in the sanctuary, re-securing a heavily guarded base with 1-2 seconds left on flip timer and of course - the sense of accomplishment after killing the bastard, pro-Magrider team Chal and Igster after 2 hours of harassment and finally ending their kill streak

ON A SIDE NOTE: That person I mentioned from Boundless Planet - Gusty88 - If you are out there somewhere I want to thank you for introducing me to this great game, and the even greater people and communities I have met since joining!

So now I say to you dear reader: It is your turn, for I shall be listening...
