Topic: Who still plays? Who would like to play again?

I really have been wanting to play again, but the game can be dry with out a constant Outfit to hang with.

I'm looking to see if anyone knows of an outfit that's active and has some decent people still in it.

I know the servers merged so I'm not sure which of my characters are where, if at all.

I stopped playing right after the first (only?) expansion.

That being said if nobody knows of a big outfit, I'd like to get people together and maybe atleast form an outfit where, if not all the time, we could atleast have scheduled squad raids and stuff.

I would be playing, but the RAM stick on my gaming machine went bad, and I only have room for one computer in here until I drum up another desk.

You might want to take a look at the BC boards, Nuke posted something there a bit ago about people from BC being welcome in his Outfit, but I don't remember the details off the top of my head.

I think I purged BC boards from my Favorites list, PM it to me?

When I was last playing, BC seemed like it was in the throes of death, so I didn't really expect it to be around.

Played it all through Beta, didn't get it after release, and then did the trial after the expansion. I like it but I missed having friends on so I didn't stick with it. I might consider it - send me a PM or something with info if you do decide to go back. I was pretty involved in a large outfit in Beta and could help with that.

Black Company was a great outfit and we were one of the top ranked outfits on the server, even though we were like only 15th largest.

Nem and Led and Rubashov were like the top 3 players out of 2000 or so on the server.

We kicked major freaking ass.

I owned people with the Bolt Driver, dueling snipers from other factions was such a fun past time. Especially since we could discuss shooting eachother in tells.

There was a Vanu sniper named Beck, and he and I fought like every night, by luck, and we talked together all the time, had some great times.

Not to mention the craziness of the game in general, like taking down a Galaxy by luck with an Enforcer and getting 6 kills,

I also miss the game, but when I last played the servers were far too underpopulated for any really good fights.

They meraged the servers down to only 3 servers, so that supposedly helped underpopulation a ton.

I can't relate...but then again, most of my playing was during beta when we were stress testing the servers. Had some obscenely huge fights where you could rack up 20+ kills in a vanguard before getting smeared by enemy MAX's and AV weaponry. By the way, are Vanu still gimped? Last time I was on, Vanu players were still hoarding cyclers and shotguns in their lockers.

It's everyone's nature to horde foreign weapons in their lockers, I had Lancer, Lancer Ammo, Lashers, Beamers, Cyclers, and of course, Repeater Pistols.

Vanu kicked pretty good ass last I played, Lancer is not only an AV weapon, but a freaking Sniper Rifle.

Their Anti-Infantry Max owns also.

Last I played to, though, everyone still horded Cyclers (both NC and Vanu) because Cyclers owned everything.

I stopped playing because spending 13 bucks on an FPS was a bit over the top, I'd rather break out BattleField Vietnam and play that.

But, I have to admit I might start playing PS again, as soon as I get an internet hookup at home. *mumbles something about moving and lack of connectivity*

Well, the game has improved a bit since I last played. The doubling-up of servers helped a ton. The server lag isn't noticable in huge fights, either.

Right now you can download the original game (no expansions) for 9.99 and you get 30 days free to try it out. After that is 12.99 per month (about average for any MMO).

I recently rejoined the game cause some of my old EQ/DAoC friends are playing it. I'm on the Emerald server (USEast) in the Terran Republic in the outfit, abraxas.

I have been playing it off and on over the last few months... in my opinion the game has kind of taken a turn for the worse >.<

They keep slowing everything down! Surge was nerfed, rexo was buffed way up, so all everyone uses now is rexo, pshield, and HA. No variety at all, really

I admit I miss gunning in a vanguard. ;x PS had its moments but it kinda went downhill when Core Combat was released, IMO. Though it was slow and laggy sometimes. Small scale stuff was better, generally.

I remember Beck... only sniper I knew that was great was 5Star but I think he probably stopped playing.

Gunning for a Vanguard with a friend of mine on the phone as driver was fun, got a nice killcount too. PS was actually a rather fun game but I stopped playing it enough to warrant the steep cost.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Don't think I'll be joining PS. Paying $13 a month just isn't something I want to do to play a FPS. If I want to go shoot people, I play UT2k4 or ET.

I HAVE thought about going back to FFXI though, but I haven't played for over 3 months now, so my character on Ragnarok is gone, meaning that I'd be put on a random server again. Also meaning that I probably wouldn't be on the same server as my brother. AGAIN.

I'd like to try PS again. Unfortunately, it has a monthly charge and really doesn't seem to be worth that charge. Its a decent game, but I can get just as much out of hopping onto a server in UT2004, if not more because of UT2004's mods.

Too bad, the caverns are neat. I had fun in them during the CC beta.

But yeah, I'd mostly be getting it for the weapons and vehicles. the Spiker.

Yes. I started again after the core combat free week, or whatever it was.. god, it sucked.

I still remember the massive whines on the jackhammer, all the while every TR in existance was cycler sniping. >:(

Did they ever switch the pistols around?

The magnum (The TR pistol) should have been the NC pistol, the AMP been TR specific, or something.. since NC was power > Shots fired while TR was shots fired > Power.. :/
