man I would love to play but the permonth charges are more then I can take (bah <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
I had screenshots of ASE somewhere with a 128/128 Operation Flashpoint server. When this 'great' game comes out, please take a screenshot of this so called xxxx/1000 server so that I may be mistified and accept the monthly fee as justified.....
I think its total BS, you will never see more than 100 people on any ONE server (especially for FPS), in fact the only time I've ever seen more than 200 people on in the same server was when I played Gemstone 3 (www.gemstone.net) it was a MUDD with upwards of 600-800 people playing at once
but anyway I didnt intend to make you sooooo defensive DOOM if you like the game go play it, all I said was we should play DragonEmpires instead

You people just don't get it. 10 Bucks a month is like nothing compared to what they are dishing out. An online first person shooter world with tanks and boats and jets with thousands of people fighting in a persistant world at the same time and effecting that world by their actions and you complain? Honestly...

DOOM is right, it's called <b>massive multiplayer online</b> FPS for a reason, it's massive. there are supposed to be tons of players online on the same server at once, and planetside looks as if it's going to rule. Sniper certification and targeting implant anyone? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Yeah. I just can't wait to get a squad of guys together before school and do an early morning raid on an airfield, then come back after school and fly sorties from that very same base. Knock out their turrets, so that after dinner you hop into a tank and drive right on through to the next base...
If it is a NS team, we will all go around shouting "Comm, give me JP/HMG plz!!!", or saying other cool NS stuff <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
I would get the heavy transporter ship and load it fully (about 15 players in it) and then land in the enemy base and unload all the troops and a vehicle... Party!
I must be spoiled then.. I had awesome games in Operation Flashpoint (no montly fee) when we and about 30 other guys used helicopters tanks, boats, and infantry to storm bases and such.. yes it wasnt persistant.. but it had the best physics Ive ever seen for a game. I'm sure this planetside game will be good, maybe even great from the sound of the augmentations you can have.. but it still pains me to soo a monthly fee... I'm sure they will generate more than enough cash from the initial sales of the game to cover bandwith and server space.... especially because they already own all of the equipment they need to host...

I'm afraid you don't understand. There's like, 5 servers, and they serve about 2000 people. ASE is not used. It's like Earth and Beyond or Everquest.
there will PROBABLY be a shard in each major 'area' (like NAmerica, Europe etc, this is one way it is often done)
it wont be:
Bobs big house of Planetside verion 1.01 (100/1000)
FRAGALISHES DEATRH ZONE!!!1!!!! (10/1000)
it will be:
Connect to server ... Done
hmmm... well I'll reserve judgement on it till I see it, still paying montly for an FPS doesnt seem right...

Damn, I WANT THIS GAME!
I jsut got access to the beta section of the site. I was reading the manual and ohmygod....
There's.... Weather... Patterns....
That's right. The world is so big that there are weather patterns.
I think i ran into TikiTorchBob on the forums, anyone else want to start a TSA/Kharra outfit?
