It's Happening, Planetside 1 Going F2P This April. NO MARKETPLACE.

[Faunze]

That's right folks it's time to come home, step away from those HD battles and complex flying mechanics.

Planetside 1 is going F2P this April.

"PS1 has no Marketplace and will not see further game development"

Thank you, SOE, for not shitting on your firstborn child (too much)

Sounds great since I never played the second one and never will.

[Rainboo]

This is great. I've always wanted to try the first one but was never able to because of the fees, and my laptop can't handle the second one at all. Only problem now would be the community(or the lack thereof :V).

Just remeber, BFR's are still there and fully rampant.

[TheFrisk]

Fuck yes. I remember I played this a little bit during the year or so it was free, and had so much fun.

As much as I love PS1, it's aged badly. The netcode in particular was never good, but nowadays it's absolutely terrible.
Gunfights at close range basically revolve around exploiting the hilariously bad netcode with "ADADADA" strafing to cause you to teleport on the enemy's screen.
