Hey guys,
Do any of you like first-person shooters? Do you like driving or flying, or maybe the scale of an RTS game? A bunch of us here on RRU have been playing a game that puts all of those together fairly well in an MMO package and it's great fun. It's called Planetside 2 and it's a free-to-play futuristic first-person shooter. Unlike most FPS games with online multiplayer, you're not restricted to 32 vs 32 fight on a tiny instanced map. This game supports over a thousand players per "map" simultaneously, and the maps are actually persistent continents with fights brewing 24/7.
We play as the New Conglomerate on the Waterson server and we have a small outfit of our own, [RRUn] for Rock Raiders United (fun fact, in the lore, the NC were construction workers and miners before the war). By small, I mean we have less than a full squad. It's fun, but we can always have more RRU members on board as we have been expanding outwards into other games. Here's the current team in no particular order:
ftgsarge - dear leader
TheDoctor - runs the Teamspeak server
Cirevam
Acmex
Amauros
IceHusky²
If you decide to join, send a PM to me and I will add you to the Skype room. We use Teamspeak 3 for in-game communications, so get it if you have a microphone. And please note that this game requires a powerful computer. You're not going to have a good time playing on your mom's 8-year-old laptop running Windows XP.
