I remember Planetside being launched in the UK at a Multiplay LAN party. It was also when a 100Mbps line was fitted to the venue so everyone could play it online.

I wasn't impressed tbh. Too long to install, too long to get into.

to long to get in to? you board a orbital transport, select a map and launch your drop pod...

it takes all but a minute or 2.

Heh, got this email a while ago. They emailed former subscribers to ask what they liked and disliked about Planetside and what they wanted to see in a sequel if they ever made one.

It's just a survey, there's nothing about a release date and nothing concrete that confirms they are definitely making the game at the moment.

Personally I loved Planetside, but it was unpopular and faded quietly without a whimper. At launch they had 20 servers prepped and ready to go, they never released new ones, never opened half of them at all, and wound up closing those they had opened, as far as im aware the game only has 1 server left.

Loved it at first, but all the nerfs were silly. I loved mowing people down in my tank, but when they nerfed it so that they walked away it was one nerf too many, so I walked away too.

no its not just a survey anymore. its confirmed to be in the making. even planetside2.com links back to SoE now, it never did that before, then it just gave "page dont exist" or something.

While im sure it's almost certain they are making a sequel, I certainly haven't seen an official announcement yet.

Where did you read it had been confirmed? Can you link that please :)

Nothing official but the president of SoE makes explicit reference to 'Planetside Next' in his blog, whatever that might turn out to be.

> Smed's Blog - What Planetside Next means to me <

thats about as official as you can make it tho. he's not even talking about a possible Planetside 2 there.

To me, Planetside Next means we get a chance to take the essence of everything that was fun in Planetside and make it a lot better.

to me that says "were already making it".

but no, they havent actually SAID they are making a sequel. but after reading that blog, they just aswell could :)
