Brothers and sisters of Vanu, Republican Dogs of TR, Corporate Pigs of NC. I come to you today to present you a proposition and announcement.
As we all know, Planetside 1 was poorly managed by SOE, mostly being abandoned and treated like garbage. Core combat and BFR's were not well tested before implementation, and that was part of why they were negatively received. The price gap, the subscription fee, and more, became a turnoff for many of players.
I come to you today as a member of a community trying to preserve and revive this classic, like Nolstarius attempted to preserve Vanilla WOW, we are attempting to preserve the very game itself.
Ages ago, we believed the revival and resuscitation of PS1 was impossible. Now, in 2016, we have the tiniest of baby steps in place, with the very initial starts of a banning system, and plans to do more, including new content like naval battles- something SOE wanted to do originally.
If you miss Planetside 1, or would like an alternative gameplay style than Planetside 2, or any other number of reasons, we would like to extend a warm welcome to you.
Caves and BFRs are broken at the moment, so the game is essentially vanilla. The idea is to rework the things existing, rather than remove them entirely, and add in things that were scrapped for the main game.
Together, we CAN bring Planetside back and we CAN show Daybreak and others that it is a worthwhile Side-Game to Planetside 2.

Also we're currently using a sub-reddit and that is cancerous as fuck, however it's one of our few options at the time.

bump for your efforts.
Here's one of the ideas that we want to re-implement as a new type of base. This purple cathedral of John Ratcliff's is one of them.
But Gemini is still online on Planetside n peeps play there all the time (muh hackers)
So how do i play this? Is it also Toaster Friendly?

This mentorship program concept, alongside with it's arts, are part of a potential optional graphical overhaul. This HD looking BFR is also another inspiration for this potential graphical overhaul.
>>339169253
Not him but Planetside is really toaster friendly.
>>339168882
Are you guys making your own servers/back-end?

Well, more power to you, OP, but I think that part of my life is over.Translation I have no friends left

It's very toaster friendly. PSForever's forums have an archived link of Daybreak's. Populations are low, but talks are underway of potential patchwork solutions to help facilitate spurring them back in again. Bots are under extreme talks. An initial banning system, ironically enough to it's name "Automated Banning System", is in the works, however requires manual use by administration. We are hoping to setup another event soon.

Getting someone to design a new website instead of just a forums would also be helpful.

We're attempting to. We also potentially plan to have separate servers or continents or whatever have you, speced and tailored to the individual tastes of some players. Many people love BFRs. Many do not. This is something we need to take into consideration.
Another potential re-addition is Wildlife. Many features from Planetside 1 were removed before beta due to various reasons, and to remove hitches. For today, many PCs will not have these issues, and therefore this will be possible. It's not intended to be a major PVE thing, just an ambience. however putting in some actions into them would be nice. The idea is for low-population areas, and then to scatter when high populations occur. This gives something for players to shoot at, and so will Bots.
PSForever is currently managed, abeit not full time, to NickHOTS, Chord, Deathkill, and some others. Sulferix was once on the team, but apparently he was acting very badly. The details are not known, but it would be good to find out.
Here's an old screenshot of NC Sanctuary, before I joined Planetside in 2013. My friend told me about it a lot. My regrets for not joining sooner are seemingly infinite, and is my main drive.
I was never any good at this game and got killed constantly and killed basically no one. I still had a blast. I wish I was good though.

http://psforever.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=79 We do have a bit of a FAQ article, and will hope to update it with solutions. If it doesn't help, let us know in multiple places, make sure we see it and get to you.
If nothing works- congratulations, you're extremely valuable to us, as it gives us some work to do and figure out why, From there, we can fix it.
PSForever is intended to be open source, but also a main server and intents to continue development.
I know LEDDIT, but https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/4aoqg2/planetside_1_weekend_april_810th/ is also very useful for getting on. Deathkill will be setting up another event sometime soon.
>>339171150
Also just swap /planetside/ for /planetside1/ and remove the rest for our Subreddit. Again, not something I personally want to use, but it is what we have for the moment.

So i assume the official servers are dead? Also, is the game super serious, meaning that if i fuck up and my team loses i'll get yelled at and/or kicked?
>>339171394
Sorry, they must of replaced it.
https://launch.daybreakgames.com/installer/PS_setup.exe
>>339171582
Only one official remains- All others were merged into it due to low playercounts. I cannot say for the certainty of being kicked or yelled at, but this is an open-world MMO, so the situation therein remains.
I honestly don't think there will be much of what you ask. There ARE some people who are dicks in the game, though. Also, when hackers do show up, the best thing is to report them in our discord and otherwise ignore them- responding or acknowledging them only serves to fuel them more.
Some guides are at https://docs.google.com/document/d/16C81fxdC7at4GKKt60jVYuGIWvBHveIS-CuqfPsc3WY/ and http://wiki.planetsidesyndicate.com/index.php?title=Main_Page
>>339171582
It is balanced as an MMO. If you die to someone you at least emptied their clip allowing someone else to kill them. It is not common to have a massive k:d as infantry alone. If you are worried about being bad, drive for others as some PS1 vechs require a gunner and a driver.

Ontop of this:
You don't even ever have to shoot a dude, however being able to fight back helps a lot. Players are encouraged to, with few certs, create and customize their own special snowflake of a character.
This generally and genuinely means, yes, you can be a medic with a grenade launcher.
Also the game has an Inventory system.
I will be taking a screenshot in a moment to demonstrate some things.

FABULOUS

I did this, just don't miss those plasma shots unless you want to be weapon locked.
riding vehicles - is fun
flying is fun (ye i do it like a brick)
playing infiltrator and knifing - is fun
ping 300 (FU that NA hosting) when you need twice more bullets( 30 instead of 13) to kill others and dudes from nc fron NA need standart 3 shot to kill you - is not fun
My friend made a hack for planetside 1 where there was no cone of fire and unlimited afterburners. Didn't get banned for 3 years, when I got bored of the game and moved on.

Communist America only allows one of two internets. The communist derived Comcast and the red old guard AT&T.
Our internet is slower than countries smaller than Texas.
>>339174136
Yeah, this is an issue. Can't fix it til we get everything together, though. Also sort of doesn't help when SOE abandoned it and Daybreak isn't interested because they don't think it's viable anymore.
>>339173683
Here's that inventory.
>>339174309
Obviously my opinion on this is biased. Unfortunate that the hacks helped to bring this game into it's state.
It's an issue where any game's content is it's players.
On some hands, I wish he hadn't. On the other, we wouldn't be here if he didn't.
>>339174870
I'm retarded!
>>339168882
I miss that old NC Jackhammer
>>339175070
Oh, yeah. It sounded fearsome.
Any more questions or if you would like to see something, please ask. I will be checking on the thread occasionally. The game is extremely different from Planetside 2.
Have some gameplay videos/tributes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAusr7ixVMo

The cert system was by far diffrent, too.
