While it really isn't an MMORPG, I never felt compelled to level quickly in Planetside.  The only grind I ever felt in that game was command rank.  Sure you get the occasional power session to get the few more BEP so you can get to the next battle rank and an extra cert point, but I never felt like I had to to stay competitive, just that it gave me a chance to try a new piece of equipment.

Lol glad I never had to pay for it.  probably the only reason I even played.

Sorry for the guys that did drop cash on this though.

Well, everything is back up (except D2D) and a quick search ingame didnt show any NPCs giving out stuff. :/

Site is back up apparently.  Game servers might be as well.  Still, with the game taken off D2D, plus the reported "Death of Phylon" NPC in game, it looks grim.  I never actually saw the npc, just hearsay.  Not that most people here need even that much to cry scam :P

lol apparently they just shut everything down as Im typing this.  Website, game servers, etc.  A friend told me there was an npc giving stuff away in game.

Too bad for all the people that payed.  I was on a free ride sinc ei had an EA citizen account.

And I suppose I should have apologised for my positive comments about this game in the past.  I never really experienced RRs handling of TC since I came from the EA side of tyhings, but at least this will hopefully be the final piece of proof that RR scams (or at least somehow gets money from people for nothing).

So yeah.  Stay away from RR

• Jetpack and shooting is fun.  Even a  low level newb can take on high level monsters if theyre good at dodging, though it wilol take them awhile.  Also makes PvP pretty fun .
  
• Some of the environments are interesting
• Humorous style (Frogs and Blobs)
• Quests can be manipulated by devs ingame without any patching, so things are easy to change around.

• Multiple inventory related bugs that cause you to crash.
• Not too many people playing (I only played in beta so far.  That character is wiped and I'm awaiting a key to make a live account, so there could be tons of people.  I doubt it though)
• Questing is convoluted and confusing (especially the older quests) and doesnt make you feel particularly rewarded for your actions, except for some of the weapon quests.
• Weapons are pretty generic, and despite a decent number of different types, they all act so similarly that getting a new guns isnt really exciting
• There isnt a great variety of environments.  Most are open desolate desert type places.  However, Northern region is amazing, with canyons and lots of interesting landmarks such as a crashed spaceship and giant tower.  There is also an ancient egyptian themed envrinment that they plan to add(NOT OFFICIAL)  that seems pretty interesting, if you go by the "Ancient" arena.  Still no forest or water environments :(
  

• World PvP is retty shallow.  Hide bombs and the lack of any high damage weapons make it difficult to PK.  There is no counter to hide bombs currently.
• Sound (effects and music) are really bleh.  Most of the interesting effects require you to be right next to a mob that will kill you in a few seconds.  Guns all have a muffled popping noise that doesnt really feel too powerful.
