As the Escapist and other sites have reported, SOE has confirmed Planetside NEXT, the long-awaited sequel to the biggest (as far as battle population) MMOFPS ever made. Planetside Universe even has some render images [http://www.planetside-universe.com/news-planetside-next-galaxy-model-2431.htm] for the new vehicle and character models.
For those who have never played the original Planetside, please check out this article [http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/08/the-game-archaeologist-goes-planetside-the-highlights/] for one of many looks into the game, and be sure to read the comments, as they include several personal war stories from players.
For those who have played it, or are otherwise eagerly awaiting Planetside NEXT, I pose a question: How the hell can we get the word out about this game?
Planetside veterans know that SOE has done a terrible job advertising Planetside, and it is likely that the same will happen with the sequel. So it is up to us to spread the Good News of 200+ player battles taking place over a map the size of Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, featuring aircraft, tanks, and infantry all controlled by human beings.
