Things that have stopped me/ slowed me from playing planetside. ( I knew about the game wen it first appeared as a side note on SOE - I used to play the free InfantryZone betas years ago ) :
- Need a fast connection. I took ages to get ADSL in my area. Cable is disallowed under my tennancy agreement for some reason.
- My PC needed a hefty upgrade
- There was no demo
- When the demo came out it was Fileplanet/gayspy subscribers only.
- The demo file size is massive and seems to corrupt. It need to be split into smaller downloads.
- now that 've gotten the demo, it's fking up. MAssive updates as well. I know of two others in my gaming comunity that have deleted the game due to being pissed off at the huge update.
- The UK payment options are abysmal. YOU NEED TO ALLOW SWITCH. Do some market research. Every 16-26 year old has a switch/solo card. Few have, or want, credit cards. Who buys the most games? Could it be 16-26 year olds? I think so.
[edit] So many typos I cba correcting them
