PlaneShift v0.5 Arcane Chrysalis
Ummmm... Where to start lol
Planeshift is a free MMORPG that aims to create an immersive experience for the player as they create and roleplay their character in the world of Yliakum. The game is fully functioning, but the dev team is always adding features and whatnot.
You can read about the game on their website, but I'm going to share specifically what I like about the game.
First off, and most importantly, I love the element of roleplay, which is tons of fun when you get the hang of it. For those that don't know, I mean roleplay as in actually acting like your character when interacting with other players, and doing quests that correspond to your character. It makes the game more than just leveling and grinding, and keeps it fun to play even after you've capped.
Secondly, while the PvE and gameplay in general is sorta simple right now, the PvP is fun and based on movement: maneuvering around the opponent and timing your attacks. This is fun, especially in guild wars and in the open PvP pit in the arena :D
The community is also cool and down to earth. I'm not sure how much more I can elaborate on this xP
Oh! The game also has a devoted dev team and cast of GMs that provide better player support than most games that you pay for. The GMs also manage the game world well, with awesome in game events and random roleplays with players.
I'm posting 'cause I'd like to see more people and characters in-game to play with. I really like this game and suggest it to people who want more than just grinding and leveling in an MMORPG. You can download the game
and register on the RP server here.
If you do register, and you're in the tutorial, you'd usually see a GM overlooking everything. Tell 'em Vvallace misses them :P
