Hey guys, I would like to urge anyone who gets the opportunity to push to get Planetside 1 Free on Steam, not only for past subscribers like it is now, but for everyone. They plan on doing something eventually, the 6 month free to play for past subscribers runs out November 20, 2013. Let's try to get them to do it before then, here's the plan, we will send John Smedley twitter comments and emails to urge him to put it on steam now, and make it free for anyone not just past subscribers.
His Email: [email protected] His Twitter: https://twitter.com/j_smedley Steam Community Forums: http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/ |

I'd like to see PS1 on steam however I agree with keeping it free to only past and current subscribers. Why give away a game for free that has zero opportunity to make them money? I'll email him now.

Make it free for previous/current subscribers of PS1 AND free for PS2 subscribers / members. That way even PS2 would have something from it, an additional "bonus" for the membership / subscription.
Or hell, just link the two together; Subscribe to PS1 and you get membership in PS2, be a member in PS2 and get subscription for PS1. |

The free 6 months was an opportunity for the PS1 community to show that there is still enough life in the game to warrant some SOE time toward it. The first couple of weeks were promising but the population quickly died out. I haven't played it in months but I can only assume that there are a few players playing here and there.
It's time to get with the times and get over the fact that PS1 is done with. At this point, the vain soliciting directed at Smedley make this community look bad. |

The populations would have not only stayed, but they would have been several times higher if an email was sent out, as was stated earlier. |

Hamma actually sent an email out to all PSU forum subscribers. He didn't do it right away though. It was probably a month after SOE gave the free time out. It didn't really help that much though.

They needed to send emails out to all past subscribers of the game itself. |

It takes a little effort to stop the downward spiral of nobody logging on, but the way PS1 got treated and people who like it additionally basically being mocked by Smedley is definetely not the right way and simply shows there is zero support for this game by SOE. Why they don't just pull the plug and end this unworthy comatose existence then is beyond me though. On a sidenote, back when the incident with broken PSN (playstation network, not planetside next - god i wish...) accounts happened and everyone got free time for their SOE accounts, the server was pretty packed. And that was just ~2 years ago, so it is definitely possible to bring back life into PS1. It just takes a little more effort than what they put on display here.

If there was some huge influx of people constantly playing, then SOE might actaully do something. I bet they saw numbers were extremely low and once again just let it die. To the guys still fighting.. Do you REALLY think youd be playing this game with constant 50vs50 battles in 2014 hell even 5 years later in 2018? Like you genuinely believe that? Back in the day, it was a great game no doubt but its time has passed.

Everyone please remember these servers were built on year 2003 equipment, from what I heard is that it costs them little to nothing to run the Planetside 1 severs, so theres no harm with keeping them. If the game is put on Steam, it will get insane populations! Especially if they send out emails to all past subscribers of the game.
