How did you discover PS?

[ViperGTS]

How did you first find out about PlanetSide? I downloaded a Tribes 2 map called PlanetSide T2. I was basicly to bases that look like some PS bases. Anyway.....on the loading screen there was a link to PSU. So how about you people?

[SpunkJackel]

Use to play one of Sony's online games called Infantry. Was part of this clan called CwA and a former member named PrinceVegeta started telling me about this game months before it was out and how I should join his Outfit House of Varnay and play with him. So I checked out the game liked the idea, got into beta and loved every minute of it...not sure what happened to that outfit...

PCgamers upcoming games i forget what issue but it was like a year or 2 ago

Used to play EQ and SWG. Saw the previews on the Sony site and figured what the hell, been playing since it came out after beta, expect I will keep playing till the lag gets so bad I can't anymore.

Got an E-mail from the leader of my Old Tirbes 2 tribe saying they would be starting up an outfit for Planetside with links to PSU and the Beta registration.

blizzard downloaded the 7-day trial, liked it, bought the game, and gave me his 7-day trial.

A buddy showed it to me.

A couple friends in my Desert Combat clan bought Planetside, and after watching them play a little I decided I had to get it myself. After getting the game I realized I had to upgrade my PC, so a couple weeks later I had my new mobo, ram, cpu & vid card purchased and zipping along, and at last I logged into Markov.

The sad part is I have upgraded my Video card and RAM since then (this was only last June) and I still have to run at medium-low settings and continue to get punishing lag on poplocked continents ever since the merger.

Picked up a free copy at GenCon in Indy last year. Didn't install it for about 2 months, hooked ever since. BTW don't hate me but my free copy came with a free one month card too

I read about it back when you were going to be a bunch of mercenaries doing missions for various corporations on the planet instead of what we have now. I'm not sure where I read about it, but it was online, for sure.

[Rayder]

Clanmate in T2 mentioned it... that was when there was talk of apartments, money, mission lists and whatnot, and the site was shitty... i think it might have been this one

[EarlyDawn]

Yeah, heard about it when everyone had NC uniforms, we were all mercenaries, and you had apartments + gradges. Read the PC gamer article, thought "Hey, that's a cool idea" to myself and it dropped off radar for... 3 years? 4 years? Then, on my way back home from my family's vacation, I see an article saying it was 95% complete. Got into the community in a small way, got into beta, never looked back.

Viper I love that link in your sig,

Edit: Friend told me about it, did some research, learned to love it.

Fixed.


Anywho, I saw it in some PC Gamers preview some number of years ago, and then when the hype starting coming back up as release neered, I got back into it.

[Onizuka-GTO]

Got the 7-day trial version on a cover disc of my favourite gaming magazine "PCZONE", didn't pay attention to it though.
Until my little brother gave it ago, and I hijacked his character after I saw him messing about on it.
Little Brother complained, he then cried when he couldn't continue because he didn't have a credit card.
I waved my card about in his face, bought the game & subcribed.
I laughed and was content.
