    It's a bright summer day, the sun is shining, the grass is green ... and the explosions are deafening. Welcome, regular readers and PlanetSide fans, to Massively's first in-game event. In collaboration with Sony Online Entertainment, for a few hours today the staff of Massively.com (along with some temporary recruits) are going to attempt to stand our ground against the might of three armies. Like Xerses at Salamis, we'll try to hold against all odds. The forces of the New Conglomerate, the Terran Republic, and the Vanu Sovereignty will all be gunning for us, and we hope you'll join them. Head over to the announcement post for details on how to join us in-game.This post is your go-to locale for information as the battle progresses. We'll keep you updated with our current position in-game, the status of our wartribe, and insider information on how the battle is going. Click on through for the current state of the war, and we hope to see you on the battlefield!

    Time once again to ask you readers what you're playing this weekend, and this time, we know the answer: Planetside. That's right, tomorrow afternoon is our big event in the best MMOFPS of 2003, and we really hope you'll be there to join us -- we have to have someone driving the Galaxies we're planning to shoot down out of the sky.Other than the Planetside event, Age of Conan continues to be popular around the Massively compound, as does World of Warcraft, and EVE Online has reattracted our attention lately with the new patch's factional warfare and whatever that was that happened in Jita the other day. As we like to ask you every week, dear readers, What aRe You Playing in the world of MMOs?Just make sure that Saturday afternoon at 6pm EST, it's Planetside -- after all, it's not every day you get to shoot us in the face. We'll be on the US Gemini server, and if you need to figure out where we are, you can just hit ESC and punch "Instant Action" in the menu. That, or just follow the carnage left in our wake!

    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!
