Once you successfully complete the tutorial you will be teleported to Yliakum, and you in character journey will begin. Now I know there is a lot in the tutorial that can be improved, so once again I refer you to my first point in the starting notes PlaneShift is in it’s ALPHA stage of development, things will improve and change with time. If you’re kicked off the server or somehow miss what an NPC said and you can’t get further in a specific quest, read your log files, everything anyone else says to you is recorded in there. The most important thing to remember if you want to get through the tutorial, and indeed if you want to do ANY of the in game quests, is to read NPC speech carefully. You will still be required to actively explore the world and discover all it has to offer. This tutorial is NOT meant to be a complete guide to everything. The purpose of the tutorial is to try and introduce characters to the BASIC workings of PlaneShift as a whole, including aspects like Crafting, Magick, Combat and RP. Let me try and explain the purpose of this tutorial before you climb on your warhorse about it being useless. This tutorial has long been the object of complaint since it was first introduced. The tutorial is the only OOC aspect of the game, when you complete it and you enter Yliakum, you will be in character. This is mainly to benefit the new players who are not yet familiar with roleplaying. Before I start let me point out that the NPC’s speak out of character in the tutorial. If this is your first character, you will be faced with the tutorial world. I have already written a guide to creating a new character in the guides and tutorials section, please take the time to read it, I’m certain it will make character creation a lot less painful. You character is what other people will see, and therefore it will be the first thing they judge you on. This is with out a doubt the most important step you will go through. With that said, let us begin at the beginning. Be prepared to experience the game for a while before you decide to voice you opinions. Complaining about first impressions will not get you anywhere, it will simply make other players annoyed, make you annoyed and generally make everyone unhappy. * This brings me to a point that I feel I must bring up before you start your journey. Our community will be friendly to you if you are friendly to us. The quality of your in game experience will be improved greatly if you interact positively with the other players. What makes PlaneShift different, and indeed special, from any other online game out there? Why should you take the time to play THIS game as opposed to the more popular games? Quite simply, PlaneShift has a uniqueness in almost all aspects that makes it both enjoyable and worthwhile to play.Īs I mentioned earlier, PlaneShift is an RP orientated game, and although it is not actively enforced in game, the community as a whole strongly encourages it. If you are still wondering whether or not to start the said journey, let me try and explain why you should. You are about to embark on a journey that will take you deep into your own imagination, where you will meet someone you more than likely never knew existed. So without further a due.įirst let me welcome you to our community. In the following sections of this guide I will attempt to convey my person opinion on how one can improve their in game experience right from the start. I’ll be elaborating on these points throughout the guide, and I encourage you to read everything – Forth, and most importantly, negativity of any kind does nothing good, and has no place in your forum posts. – Third, PlaneShift is an RP oriented game, this means that a player is meant to roleplay a character as though he or she actually lived in the world within the game (Namely Yliakum). – Second, the Planeshift Community consists of real PEOPLE, with real feelings and most importantly, real lives. The game is going to improve, it’s always being developed. – First, PlaneShift is in it’s ALPHA stage of development, this has certain dramatic implications that most new players don’t get. Before I begin, there are certain crucial facts that have to be borne in mind if you want to enjoy this game at the maximum level. Our current community has a good side and unfortunately a bad side, my hope is that this guide will help everyone, new and old, to appreciate each other more, and to encourage the growth of both the community and the game itself. Hello PlaneShifters! I am writing this guide in response to almost everything I have encountered up to now. What this isn’t: This is not a guide to explain the working of the game mechanics. What this is: This is a general guide for everyone on how we should play the game in order to get the most out of it. PlaneShift General Gameplay Guide by Eliseth
