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.
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.
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.
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.

Demos painfully thought these words up:
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.

Shit, and I just started FFXI again.
Oh well, won't be the first $13 I've thrown away.
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*

Arrenn Lightblade had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Do they offer a free trial? I played in Beta and it got old really fast, so I would want to see if it is the same or better or worse.
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.
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 remember Beck... only sniper I knew that was great was 5Star but I think he probably stopped playing.

I'd love to play, but I still don't like the idea of paying $13 a month for a FPS game >_>

Lily had this to say about Tron:
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.

All my characters were Tigerlily, Firelily, and Waterlily.
I find this funny.
violates both the thread and its creator
It's not something people hear about.

Gasp! What are you doing here?! The newbie beastmasters need your expertise advice while mine to newbie monks gets ignored!
Good lord if I see another "s" added on to the word "Kote"... Skaw fucked around with this message on 06-30-2004 at 04:15 PM.
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. Willias fucked around with this message on 06-30-2004 at 04:22 PM.

Who are you, and why are you so sexy... for a game character.

She has large, manly, hands.
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.

Led had this to say about the Spice Girls:
No one uses the caverns. Ever. You will however gain access to the Maelstrom, the most IRRITATING weapon ever designed.
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.
I honestly do not care for the game anymore... they keep 'noobifying' it

Led's little brother wrote this stupid shit:
Johari was smooshed into Markov, remember. Now you can have characters on two different empires on the same server.I honestly do not care for the game anymore... they keep 'noobifying' it :(
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.. :/
