PlaneShift - A 3D Fantasy MMORPG 2009.01.10 Happy new year from the PlaneShift Team. To celebrate the new year, we added two new features to our web site: an experimental developer blog, where you can find interesting discussions and articles made by our developer team. Please note that none of the elements mentioned there have any guarantee to be implemented in game. a webchat to our main site that you can use to get in touch with other PlaneShift players, to the GMs team and to the help channel for building our client from sources. Enjoy! 2008.11.30 It's time for a new PlaneShift update! Release 0.4.03 has been just crafted into our forge and it's now available to you for Windows, Linux and MacOSX (10.3.9 included), be sure to get it from our download page. Be sure to read the detailed changelog and enjoy PlaneShift! 2008.10.24 Keith Fulton, our server engine lead, has been invited at Google for a speech on PlaneShift! He gives an overview of the game objectives and the current development status, then drills down into the engine itself, describing server architecture, the quest scripting, NPCs and their AI, and then answers to some Google questions. The video is 1 hour long, so go take some popcorn first, and also be aware most of it is very technical (for coders), so it won't be interesting to everyone. You can see the video here and download the slides here. 2008.09.21 There are many events hosted by our Game Master team in game, and we would like to have regular reviews of those events to give you the flavour of what you are missing!!

Thanks to Fragnetics for providing a new hardware. The new machine is a dual core 3Ghz server. 2008.04.27 We are doing some maintenance on the PlaneShift server, so at the present time you cannot play the game. The down time will last about 6-8 hours. 2008.04.01 (April's Fool) Being a bit bored of roleplay, and with a reduced setting team (a number of people left), PlaneShift Team decided to dedicate more time to mini-games into PlaneShift. We hope that minigames will become more important than all the "sword and sorcery" thing and more addictive than roleplay on the long run, so we can transition to a more arcade like virtual world. Maybe we will even have a casino' in the future! Some of the basic feature of the arcade engine are already working. Enjoy this movie preview (16Mb)!!
