Planetside

SOE needs to close the current game down and then totally change it so its a free 2 play mmofps because right now noone will play it because they don't want to buy it or pay a monthly fee. Planetside is old and people have a hard time paying a monthly fee for a online FPS no matter how many players it has.

I would really love to see it turned into a browser based game but I doubt we'd see that cause it would require too much money. However some advertising on FilePlanet with a new amazing trailer of thousands of people in giant battles and I think it could be something. Take out the BFR's because they look really gay and put people off then charge people for new weapons and vehicles as time goes on.

I really want to see Planetside saved and Free 2 Play is the way to go, I've seen sooo many worse Free 2 Play games out there that have hundreds of thousands playing.

they wouldnt make any money if it was f2p... why would they want to do that.

they would make money in ads and item shops its something they should have done a long time ago but instead they have a loyal following of casual gamers who don't mind paying 15 a month to play battlefield.

planetside going free to play would breathe life back into the game I miss playing ps everyday but can't stand the current population of the servers.

it wont make money if its F2P, though premium items? not a good idea either. does anyone still play this game? i hope so.

only way i would come back is f2p. or a onetime cheap cost.

Asking to "Close" something down is usually people who are trolling for effect - or sour grapes over "If I can't play it, then tear it down."

Planetside is perhaps the only game where I can go in totally in a passive mood, and come out with adrenaline pumping with lots of heartt thumping fun.

Sure, the engine is dated, and graphics are not glossy - but that doesnt mean the game does not do what its supposed to do. It could do with some graphics love as long as it doesnt slow things down - and surely dont mean we shut it down.

As for free play - technically, I play it for free anyway with my SOE Station Access  Pay smart, play them all!

You beat me to it, I've been saying the same thing for a while. But this is being hosted by SOE, we ALL know SOE will not host any F2P games, they're greedy and hosts all their dead or dying games on the station pass to maximize their profit.

Hardly, there's barely 2K subscribers as far as I remember and went through at least 6 server merge stages over the years. I checked in with my veteran trial I got last spring, even Emerald was a ghost town with just 1 small hot spot which I couldn't get to in time before it vanished.

 

it's nothing like that now there are big fights literally every minute of the day.

There are stil greater battles in Planetside, than they are anywhere else.

PS needs to go F2P but it never will be completly F2P. PS needs to have more subsrcription plans based on highest BattleRank reachable. If nothing happens, it dies in one year IMO.

Hopefully we have Welkin game on the western market in these days.
