Planetside WAR! Call to Arms!

[Baby Tea]

Excellent! Then there is always hope that someone (Mostly likely someone who joins today to get a key) will be booted and the REAL Escapists will get in there and rock some socks!

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?

Ahh, I didn't say low post count = trouble maker!
I meant the people who join JUST for contests. They have a much higher chance of being trouble makers. People who want to be a part of the community, contests or not, have less of a chance since it would reflect badly on them in said community (Which they want to be a part of)! While the contest whores don't care, they just want to win contests.

Exciting. Let's hope the whoask machine picks the cream of the escapist crop.

So I would never get a chance if it did that.

Also, game keys?? Any chance to know if there will be a download link except the one where you have to buy it to download?

Yup, working on that now.

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.

EDIT: Also, why does the connections comment make me fear that not playing enough will result in a bunch of mafia thugs on my doorstep?

Ahhhhh, I see your point. I apologise for slapping you in the face with my white glove.

Im a planetside veteran, i can be of good help.

5 hours in a week is a minimum? I i can fill that quota in the morning...
I'd be a mindless machine ripping through the opposition !

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. I'm an equal opportunity gamer

Spinwhiz, is that you in your avatar? If so, were you Wilson from Home Improvement?

Yes, that is me...you can also see me in The Escapist Show I actually tried out for Wilson but I wasn't old enough to look "wise" but I was tall enough.

Thanks SG, much appreciated for those who would like to check the game out anyways.

That wouldn't do much good, seeing as we never see Wilson mouth. I believe you would have been a fine Wilson.

No worries. Post elitism is everywhere! We must be on-guard.

Why thank you...thank you very much! I tried to tell them the same thing as I was escorted out of the studio.

 

[Spinwhiz]

Any idea what kind of connection speed is required? Just want to make sure my connection is up to it before I sign up.

I'll bring that up as well.

*cracks knuckles* That's right.. you better be up to snuff! Weaklings will be ridiculed mercilessly!

I'm with you on this, Tea. It's already annoying enough when those types of jackasses win contests, but this is something completely different. If our team ends up being a bunch of "randoms" that signed up just for this I'm going on a rampage.

You won't have to worry about that. We have a staff for a reason

We'll see, Spinzey, we'll see...

Oh, and my new nickname for you is "Spinzey". Congrats.

Oh, thank you? Don't worry about people causing problems. They won't be around long enough to be worried about. I DO however want people that HAVE played to help those who HAVEN'T played before. Our community helps others, not rips them down.

Bah, when I try and join the game on either of the servers, the game crashes exactly just after having finished loading the Sanctuary. Will try and see what happens if I play as Terran.

EDIT: I can't get in there either... My computer hates me.

Strange, happened to me as well, although I thinks it's due to this computer terrible graphics card not being able to handle the game, or maybe the game connection was bad.

With this in mind I now pose a question, If we are one of the people to get a key, but we can't play the game, is there any way to give up the key and not get banned? since I signed up for the key before checking if the game will run on this computer with the graphics card I have.

I used to play PS, long time ago. Just for kicks admittedly. I was playing on a 5MB connection at the time, barely any lag. Did spike though.

Just a question, should I be selected will being on the VC be required?
