You should give it a try.
There have also been 3 major additions, Expanded Combat deployable (Link 2) as well as upgradeable wall turrets, the revamped sunderer (Link 2), and soon (may 20th) 3 new pistols, a flamethrower, and a new rifle, as well as the 4 year event.
And you should Check out this video.

Honestly, It seems allot of reserves did subscribe; I did not see a drastic drop in population when it was over. Of course, this is my observations, and others may have other stories.
I still have allot of fun, and development is cooking along!
There is an even longer list coming on the horizon, I only posted the items that were just added, or next to be added, but just about every "Play style" is getting some new toys and abilities in the comming months.

If you are tired of tab target, click, go brain dead gameplay.. resub !
but id never play it as my main/only mmo.
played: EQ, EQ2, PS, WoW, CoX, VSoH, GW, LotRO
ones that don't suck: PS, EQ, EQ2
main mmo: EQ2
waiting for: Darkfall(if it ever comes out), PotBS (sounds good)
Here is a link to a sort of "Future timeline" for implementing things, its somewhat vague as it of course was made before they really started putting things on paper and designing it, but it will give you a glimpse to the thinking of the developers and the pace they hope to achieve.
Development for the next quarter----------

I haven't played since last Summer, but the biggest problem I noticed was a lack of combat throughout many hours of the day. I played from release for about a year afterwards and had a blast, but a lot of my Outfit members left, and then I did as well. I came back for Core Combat, but was wildly dis-impressed with the "caving" system.
All in all, I still loved the game though, it was just the lack of players that took me out of it. Has this been remedied?
Waiting for something fresh to arrive on the MMO scene...
Not going to lie, its is not a huge as it once was. But its not barren or dead by any means. Join the emerald server.
However, its a domino affect, and that affect can work both ways. There are no NPC's to take up slack, lol.
Best suggestion i can give any new player or old, Get in a good outfit, and join Team-speak, or do as i do, host a LAN part once a week and invite people over.
This game is the best when playing with friends and using voice.
The game HAS changed allot since you played last.
You will still see large battle, but not everywhere, and you will see different small encounter tactics than before.

Don't waste your money. I could go on all day about why shouldn't play this game; hell- it got 3 years out of me before I realized it was not going to improve. This game has been on a downward slide since almost immediately after release- both in terms of quality and playerbase.
At best; 5,000 people still regularly play this game. SOE is no longer looking to actively develop and improve this game. They pawn off minor updates achieved over several months as "development." ... the result of a few SOE employee's otherwise "idle time" in between working on SOE's more successful projects. PlanetSide itself has no dedicated team; a single community relations person/manager last I checked.
Over 300,000 have come through PlanetSide; and all of them have moved on in under 3 years time; there are a multitude of reasons for this- the most obvious being this game is not worth your time or money. This thread is an act of desperation from a community watching it's game die that refuses to let go.
Why do you refuse to let go? You are only delaying progress. Every day that PlanetSide manages to cling to life is another day that it is present to remind others in the business why NOT to make MMOFPS games.
Think about how much progress was made in the MMORPG genre within 4 years of the release of Ultima Online. Where is that progress in the MMOFPS genre? It is not there. And why? Because Ultima Online wasn't a colossal failure! Ultima Online did not lose 95% of every subscriber it ever had in two years time and then barely manage to stand on it's own legs; but remain visible enough to serve as a warning to others thinking of entering that market.
That's PlanetSide. That's SOE. That's the PlanetSide community. Half of them are willfully ignorant suckers who continue to let SOE take their money in the continued false hope of the turn around that isn't going to come; cheerleaders through and through. The other half are self-hating fans that get about the same enjoyment out of PlanetSide as a smoker gets out of cigarettes he is hopelessly addicted to after losing his health and various pieces of his body tissue to disease and cancer.
Head over to the PlanetSide Gameplay Discussion forum- http://forums.station.sony.com/ps/forums/show.m?forum_id=3 and see it for yourself.
The rest, no clue where you are coming from.
The game is fun, people play it, I have fun... Is it wrong of me to post about recent changes and updates?
To my knowledge, there are three MMOFPS in the works... So I have no clue what your talking about.
Currently on test server

Lol- There are no true MMOFPS game in the works. Huxley has still failed to demonstrate or make claims that the FPS element will take place on a massive scale. Twilight War is cancelled. Lost Colony is a scam. That indy project- Versus; a PlanetSide clone being worked on by a handful of disgruntled planetside vets is vapoware... and Tabula Rasa is MMOFPS-like with a focus on fighting AI monsters, using dice rolls to calculate damage and a non-PvP focus.
Pwnd.
HAHHAHAHAHAHA, yeah man...
Your incredibly biased and angry for some very, VERY odd reason.
Huxley, Project offset, Global Agenda, and an unnamed MMOFPS by SOE (Spy themed it seems) ,and many others..
Nothing you posted negates the fact that Planeside is fun, people enjoy it, and development continues.

And im not going to post anything like that- because "facts" concerning "fun", "enjoyment", and "development" are subjective. All I have to say is that Enrico himself (planetside manager) had stated at year 2; month 6- that planetside had over 300,000 closed accounts. At that time roughly 10,000 unique users played per month.
What does that mean? That means that 97% of your peers would disagree with you if you told them planeside is: fun, enjoyable, developing, etc... because they made their opinion clear when they closed their account.
Do you understand, or do I need to slow it down to fanboy speed?
Don't be like this fool.Global Agenda:
"ATLANTA, Georgia – March 1, 2007 – Hi-Rez Studios™, an independent developer of online entertainment, announced today that their debut title will be a mission-based action MMORPG using Unreal® Engine 3, set in a near future world of espionage and tactical covert operations."
So, am I missing something here? Where do you get the impression that this game is going to offer battles with hundreds of people across battle lines with a dazzling array of multi colored tracer fire flying between them? That's what an MMOFPS in the most simplistic terms of expression.
The other "MMOFPS" you mentioned; project offset- is set in a fantasy world with dragons and swordplay and shit like that; it doesn't even have guns for christ's sake.
People will glue MMO together with FPS for anything out of desperation.
Fact is though; that a real MMOFPS will follow the examples of WWIIOL and PlanetSide; and offer massive battles (while they can)combined with at least some of the elements that made games like doom, duke, and quake define the FPS genre.
I'm sure this will go right through your fanboy filter.

Don't be like this fool.Its quite clear you have something against Planetside. I personally do not understand it, if you don’t play, and hate it, what’s the point in constantly bashing it?
I guess all the current players are not having fun?
BTW, we are in year 4 now. Every mmo has churn, and ever mmo changes.
97% of my "peers" are playing the gamePlanetside is fun for me, and i want to share that with others, they can make up there own mind.

You simply can't go around liberally applying labels on your product when they aren't even true. Having an "MMOFPS" labal makes these products that misuse it look innovative and unique; that's why they wear the label- but don't offer a true MMOFPS product.
This has nothing to do with my dream MMOFPS. It's like if someone made a game that had all the economic and sandbox features of an RPG; and made the combat system to be what resembles a large scale quake deathmatch server- and slapped an "MMORPG" label on it; people would flame you all day for it.
Anyhow, i'm out. If you're thinking of playing PlanetSide; just get up and go find a brick wall to pound your head against for an hour- it gives you the same experience and it's much cheaper.
Peace.
