<div class="IPBDescription">Remember this?</div> Well, unlike many of you I bet, I've been watching this thing as it evolves. Heres how it goes:
They are using a TOTALLY new graphics engine(though the art is largely the same), they are sticking in/have stuck in the new model system(basically, it allows TONS more bones, and the ability to manipulate them, for shrinking, or...well, anything).
The next major patch will include combat(Finally!).
And its just looking great, all around.
For those who don't know: Planeshift is a 100% free, always will be free, MMORPG, where all you gotta do is register, and your in, and can start right away. They even are trying to be 56k friendly by dividing the downloads into 5 parts, that then you just need to put into a new directory, and use the reassembler, and install(which you can even do now, and be able to screw around in the game).
The biggest thing about this is: It IS IN FACT TOTALLY 100% FRICKIN FREE. IT WILL NEVER COST MONEY. How, you may wonder- by use of in-game, and out-of-game(like in the installer and on the website) advertising. And no, there won't be any "Nike Boots of Speed +3". Its all during load times, or on the menu. You oughta check it out: Good graphics, good sound, and fun(even without combat!)

[MiniFAQ:
Q: Why does it take so long to load?
A: It's loading for the first time! It may appear to be frozen, just leave it alone for 5 minutes.
Q: Alright, it's loaded, but it's SO slow!
A: The game's engine is being worked on while the game is in developement! As well, un-optimized code and the server is a large part to blame for this slowness. [As well as your possibly slow computer]
Q: Why can't i choose (or do) [this/that/other thing]?
A: It probably isn't put in yet; that or [it's] bugged [or disabled because of a bug that wont be fixed any time soon.]
Q: What can I do?
A: Try looking for crystals.
Q: Where is the world located?
A: <a href='http://www.planeshift.it/setting_overview.html' target='_blank'>Here</a>
Q: This game SUCKS! It's laggy, bugged, and slow!
A: Hey, what do you expect from a game in <b>ALPHA</b> development!? Come back in a few years or so when it's nearer to a playable version.]
[Q: What the? I can't connect to the game server!
A: Look on the forum's tech help page. Someone might be able to help you there.]
Tbh this game reminds me of HLrally, Hostile Intent, Ghost Ops by the time it actually gets finished and released no one is going to want to play an old aged game..i for one cant wait for ghost ops the models and guns look very nice.
