    Default Planetside anyone?

    Alright so I for the life of me cant find any recent news about it. The forums get maybe one forum post a day, and I cant ask there because you have to have an active subscription.

    So here I am asking here for opinions on it, or rather what the current state of the game is.

    Is it dead?
    Do people still play at all?
    Is it dying? (From forum posts it has been dying for like the last 6 years. go figure)
    Is it worth subbing to?

    Thanks
    ~James

    It still is the best game i've ever played. And i was thinking about going back to it as well. I miss it so much.

    I played it a few months ago, and there is still enough population for a great war in populated areas. Definetly enough population to have fun with

    Sadly boys I am out of town for a few days so go on without me. I posted this though because I was hoping perhaps someone has played recently and could give us a bit of a rundown on how it's been as of late. Hnnnn

    Note its still a b2p, p2p game.

    oh snap did not see above post...Yah peeps Taiko tell us how was it? Did a lot of people play? Were battles good?

    Loads of people play in the battles, it still feels really large scale. also all the empires are even, the rates were at like 33%, 37%, 30% back when i played, and you never have to find battles, it always tells you exactly where all the battles are happening, and you can jump right in them.

    hm... I wouldn't say it's worth subbing to, anymore atleast. Simply because there is barely any support for the game aside from bannings(which seems to take awhile itself). Just seems like SOE got it to a certain point and said " you know what?, **** it." then they just left the game as it is, left it up to get what little money they could from it. Don't even think they even bothered to try and fix the hacks floating around, or do anything productive for the game the past few years or so.

    Played the game from beta to about a year or so after launch then off and on. And everytime i resubbed it just seemed like SOE cared less and less. The last time i had alot of fun in the game was way back when they were splitting up the planets, and comets were falling randomly everywhere.
    Definitely worth playing the free trial for a while though. Can decide from there i suppose.

    They need to bring back the limited F2P option.

    the gameplay is just way different man, in ps u have aircrafts and tons of different vehicles and its based on hacking towers and base controlled by one out of 3 factions, the size of land u can travel on is about a milion times bigger then global agenda id said. also this open world u talk about isnt an open world.. its just 1 big zone, not a world. and from what i read its only pointed towards people till level15.

    anyway looks like u never even played planetside. in PS u have multiple continents linked to eachother with 10-20 bases and towers in each of these continents and where hundreds of people at the same time can battle over 1 base, THAT is an open world. lets see how GA's open world turns out lol.

    i have nothing against GA its a fun game, but PS has much more to offer really.

    This game was really fun when they had that limited F2P option. My friends and me would all take different specialties and hack deserted planets, sparking wars.
