Yay! Planetside for free 30 days for previous account holders!

How does this work? I have an account I created when the game first came out, but it wont let me log in. Only gives me the option the subscribe again.
 
I think you just install the game and login and it works rather than updating your sub on the site.

Edit: Scrap that I just installed and its asking me to subscribe :confused:

Yeah, but you wouldn't have many cert points to play with. A 30 day free trial would be loads better. :p

Sent an email to SoE and gonna try the live chat later when its open. If they actually answer my question i'll post it here. :o
 
I LOVE it. But i've got the same problem described, would have thought i was eligible, but it doesn't seem to want to give me a subscription.
 
It doesnt look good by todays standards

But if you have a good outfit it is very fun to play.

How many places are Pop locked these days at peak times? I assume the player base has dropped off some what?

Any serious gameplay changes in the last year? i know they nerfed the hell out of BFRs but that was about when i left.
 
This game was awesome during beta and on first release. But the lack of proper twitch style game play eventually drove me away. For a MMOFPS to really work it needs the twitch feel and accuracy of Quake/CSS/Unreal etc... The response felt muddy and delayed in Planetside. Which I imagine is down to the technology limitations available at the time and probably still applicable now of having that many people battling at the same time.

Although to be fair with proper threaded code and a 10Gig connection you could probably achieve it with something like a Sun T2000 (8 cores per chip total of 32 threads possible ;))
 
Thanks for the heads up. This should stave off the holiday boredom for a while at least.

I could be wrong but I don't think thats an issue now. I played in beta and got the game on release and the accuracy and "twitch" feel to the game was diminished due to server lag which was a big issue in the first 3-4 months of the game.

I tried the game again about a year ago and it felt smoother than it did on release and it felt better, shame the game didn't grab me and I got bored after a month or so.
 
Just had a chat with someone from SoE on the live chat thing. Seems that anyone having the problem of not being able to login without subscribing will have to contact SoE by email or via live chat (which is quicker) to get the free trial enabled. Bit of a pain in the rear. He activated the free trial in about 30 seconds so I guess a lot of people have been contacting them about it. :o
 
I cant get any response on that live chat... Been no. 1 in the queue for a long time :rolleyes:

Post your account details here so if i get through i can ask him/her to do yours too if you guys would like, or PM/Email me them.
