Anyone still playing PlanetSide?

Peve · 7 Jul 2006 at 02:47

Hey

I can remember that PlanetSide used to be quite a big thing on the forums at one point and I decided to give it ago with it now being free and was just wondering if anyone from here was still playing?

BigRoger · 7 Jul 2006 at 03:00

i heard its completey free too play now but im probobly wrong

my subs are out again. but i was back for a short stint. its still a good game, just my rig doesn't seem to want to play wellin in large battles.

there is a free 1 year trial out for it at the moment. Although i have tried playing planetside on 3 different occasions and decided it really sucks

- but thats my opinion

planetsides ok, but you realy suck at the lower levels, and its REALY hard to be infentery with low skills (so, I can ether use good armour or good guns?) having to go though the tutorial for EVERY charicter just so I can get the quick XP for it is a pain in the ass too.

Can I play for free even if I already have an account that used to be subbed?

anyone know where this free trial is?

brightside_ · 7 Jul 2006 at 15:49

iirc free trial is only up to BR11, which I was above anyway, so it's pointless for me. I might be wrong however.

It's called Planetside reserves, and i think it's up on the main planetside webby

Bummer, I was BR19, oh well. I might resub at some point.

There is a link to the " Reserves"

http://planetside.station.sony.com/reserves/

The reserves is only up to BR6 what ever that means

DJammyRasta · 7 Jul 2006 at 16:15

aint played ps since the beta, what can u get with br6? seems pretty sucky

Reppyboyo · 7 Jul 2006 at 16:30

Practically nothing.
You can get to BR4 just in training.

There are 24(or 25 cant remmber) Battle Rank Levels each one gves you 1 extra certification point to buy skills with
Similarly there are 5CR levels. CR = Command Rank you can only get CR buy leading squades and capturing enermy bases each CR level gives a new tool or adds bouses to existing CR tools. I.e. CR 1 place markers CR 5 Large orbital strike.

I'm not sure how much longer the free offer will run for but its still got another 6months left i think.

BigRoger · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:47

do you need a debit or credit card too start off planetside reserves like other mmorpg trils

Nieldo · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:53

No, reserves is free and they dont ask for any card details.

HeadlessChicken · 7 Jul 2006 at 21:06

No Cc needed, and yeah, BR6 only. But they did re-shuffle certs so you got more as a new starter. You can get a surprising amount at BR6.

Nieldo · 7 Jul 2006 at 21:19

I would recommend anyone give it a try, free fun for at least a few days

You never know you might like it.
