Come frag Massively in PlanetSide!
Maybe you've disagreed with an article here on the site. Maybe you didn't like the way we covered your favorite game, or were too slow to jump on something you were really pumped about. Regardless, after reading the site for some nine months now, we'd bet you have at least one thing you'd like to get off your chest. Well, now's your chance. This Saturday we're going to give you the chance to put the leads, writers, and columnists of Massively.com in their place by fragging us to kingdom come.
In collaboration with Sony Online Entertainment a bunch of Massively staffers are going to hop into PlanetSide as a fourth army - we're going to be the bad guys. It's your job, then, as the loyal recruits of the New Conglomerate, the Terran Republic, or the Vanu Sovereignty to put us in our place. You can participate for free, even, and get a taste of what the gameplay in PS is like on an epic scale. Join us this Saturday at 6pm EST on the US server Gemini! For full details, read below the cut to find out how to grab the client and join in.
When:
We're going to play at 6pm EST on Saturday the 14th of June. In order to get locked and loaded in time for the event we suggest everybody log in around 5:30pm EST. Once the Massively team is in-game we'll update Massively.com with details of where we are. In-game elements should also take you right into the thick of it via the 'Instant Action' button.
How:
All you need to do in order to get in-game is download the SOE Station launcher: http://launcher.station.sony.com/
If you don't have a Station account, you'll need to set one up (freebie). You can do this after downloading the Station Launcher by running it and clicking on the "Create a Free Station Account" button. After setting up the new station account you'll be able to log into the Station Launcher. After you log in with your new or old account, you'll have the option to access the free trial by clicking on the "PlanetSide" button which should read "Activate or Try Game". Download the game, jump in, and make a character.
PlanetSide is an oldie but goodie, right? Come join us in-game for the first Massively get together since the site launched. And good luck!
