So about that email... - Page 5

Weird, I haven't gotten one.

Thanks anyways, Hamma, if only 5% of those 26,000 heed the word and log in, that is still
1300 people. SOE could reach a lot more.

When I asked Smedley about the email (several times) I received no response. Asked T-Ray and he responded within a few hours, saying he didn't know of any plans but that he'd try to dig up some info for me. That was a few weeks ago and he hasn't gotten back to me yet. So I think SOE may either be taking longer or won't do it, perhaps Hamma's email will encourage them to do so.

Now if the combined might of SOE/PSU emails don't bring anyone back and the game stays dead, I think I will finally move on and wait patiently to see if SOE does really make it free-to-play at the end of the six months, and if that doesn't work, I think I can finally move on from the entire issue.

Join us in celebrating this anniversary by remembering your service in PlanetSide 1.

As a thank you to those veterans, every former PlanetSide 1 subscriber will be granted 6 months of PlanetSide 1 membership absolutely free! Relive those glory days and bring honor to your empire!"

If you were a PlanetSide 1 Subscriber you should now have the six free months available on your account. This promotion started about one month ago so you now have 5 free months. For more information, and a comment thread click through!

Sincerely,
PlanetSide Universe Staff

Not to look a gifted horse in the mouth, but...

...you forgot to mention that all players with a PS2 account also got six months free. ;p

Thank you Hamma !

Much respect to the man of conscience who holds up to his words.

Appreciate it, Hamma, but I think it's worth mentioning that the free 6 months does not only apply to previous PS1 subscribers. It also includes any PS2 account (even the non-subscribers) made before 5/20/13. Any PS1 trial account can play for free as well, even if it was never subbed.

Soe should look at this as an opportunity to get a lot of those old Planetside players back. I am sure that most of those players will transfer to Planetside2.
The only thing I see that would concern SOE is having more PS1 veteran players shitting all over PS2, like some veterans did. Planetside2 with Everquest next are the future of SOE. Now personally I love Planetside but the fact of the matter is that I find myself playing PS2 98% of the time. So I'm sure that sooner or later the lights will be turned off. I also get upset when some players are to quick to kill the game.
Now I would love to see old teammates come back to Planetside so That I can re-establish contact with them. I am sure many of you do too. Hell I'm sure most that come back will jump into PS2 and give it a try. So I think it would be worth it for SOE to send out E-Mails. They have more to gain than lose.

Why not see for yourself?

MasterChief096 · 2013-07-01, 01:37 PM

haven't had time to log in for the past week really. Should be getting that time here pretty soon though

So is planetside 1 free now? I never got an email about it from SOE and I was under the impression only previous ps1 players were given free time?

I'd love to at least try it out.

Yes! It's free for about 5 months now for everyone who has ever played PlanetSide or PlanetSide 2!
