I have a copy I have to write a review on but haven't played enough yet. Burn the Witch is really into this game though.

Looks cool but i can only play one online game and that will be starwars

Looked nice, I wish they had a demo so I could try it on a bit.

I just heard that it is a pay-as-you-play game, is that right? If so, that sucks! :unsure:

yes there is a monthly charge for Planetside, but i also heard from a friemd (who owns the game) that u can buy Planetside cards that have a serial # on them that allows you to play for a certain amount of time, then u gotta get more cards!

I think they run for 30$ each

In that case, I will never ever play it. I hated Sierra for similar practices. I had a Red Baron game that had a built-in timer and log to see how many times you had installed it, after three it shut down. I removed the attributes on the file and changed it to make it unlimited. We we using Sierra&#39;s online service for gaming, mostly playing bridge, for 12.95 per month. Then, they announced that the price would be going up to &#036;50 per month, but since we were already on, we would be grandfathered in at the old price for a year....but it pissed us off they they had the marbles to charge &#036;50 a month, so we all dropped them immediately.

&#036;50/month??

That is ludicrous. Who would pay &#036;50/month to play an online game???
