Really great idea guys, nice one!
On the more serious aspect, do you guys have any ability or run a teamspeak, or preferably ventrillo server? God knows that voice comms give you an edge in MMOs, especially PvP.
And, for anyone else who's as obssessive as me, if you download Sony's launcher platform here http://launcher.station.sony.com/ you can get a free trial to get your eye in, and mean you'll have the client ready from day one.

Planetsides alot more fun when you have alot of players fighting over the same area, is there going to be scheduled battles as well as whatever happens? Also anyway for the 70 to get in contact with each other outside of the game or will the players just log into the game and join up with whoevers on?
Hey this whole whiz bang idea seems like it should be quite popular. Any chance we can find out how many people have signed up?
Signed up. I used to play a few different builds.
Ejecting from an aircraft and immediately going invisible was easily my favorite.
Did they ever add voice comm?

Ok, I've downloaded murmur. Seems pretty good actually, dunno why I'd never heard of it before. And by god I type loudly...
Ah, wonderful. I'm really looking forward to this, I'm terrified I'm not going to get in now. So how'd this happen anyway? I get why Sony would agree to it, it's good publicity, but did you guys just waltz over and demand a bunch of game keys?Spinwhiz said:Yup, we will have Mumble or Teamspeak up for our team. No doubt about it!
Hey,
I've been guesting to the Escapist for a while, mainly due to watch all the constant funny videos which pop up on the site. Though when i saw this topic i thought i'd actually create an account.
I'm an Ex-Planetside player, use to play it alot back in 05-07.
Planetside is one of my all time fav games, but back when SOE dicided to cancel the PlanetSide Reserves the player population dropped so low the gameplay took quite a dive along with it. Planetside then followed to develop a fairly big problem relating to Textures, well more the lack of textures if any thing.
The majoruity of players would suddenly suffer from White/Missing textures causing alot of graphics problems, it was this along with the low population which lead myself and quite alot of others to quit playing.
I would love to start playing again, though i would want to know if SOE ever did actually fix the problem of White/Missing Textures? Since i wouldn't want to go through that hole 12 hour update download just to find it's still only a 'half working' game.
Any way
Been thinking about re-playing for a while and i already have alot experiance with the game so would love to take part in this, though would like to know if the game is actually "fully working" now?
Lol, Sorry for the wall of text <3

I will put that on the list of questions for SOE. Also, if you are granted as one of the 70 for the team, that would be great! Unfortunately it's random, so keep your fingers crossed!Vector Dalon said:
Also, welcome to The Escapist forums! It's a pleasure to meet you.
If I'm not mistaken you will just join team members that are already in-game.Ralackk said:

Voice Comm has not been added, but we will be adding our own, which will be free to use. We are testing a couple different ones right now.AntiAntagonist said:
I declare post-countism on you good sir. You insinuate that someone who has a low post count is a trouble maker. *takes white glove from pocket and slaps you in the face* I trust you have learnt your lesson?Baby Tea said:
Spinwhiz, is that you in your avatar? If so, were you Wilson from Home Improvement?Spinwhiz said:hahaha Well, some people work a ton and I didn't want people to feel left out or get kicked if they didn't have the ability to play a lot but still wanted to participate.
