I originally started as VS on Werner in a small clan called Assassins . Was only a small group but had some great times 2003-4 . As the outfit went inactive for the main part , I changed to NC and joined Renegade Legion . As a side project I decided to try Emerald server and also joined a small NC outfit called Team Fracture with Mindaxis there (you may remember he made a website Planetside Stats and was a great guy/player), and found I enjoyed the Emerald server more despite the ping difference. I found that I could run 30-50fps on Emerald on my rig, but werner I was struggling to have 5-10 fps in many base fights. Almost unplayable at times. Eventually Mindaxis decided to quit playing and disbanded the outfit . So I found myself with no outfit, and Werner was a slideshow . I tried to carry on but then I kept getting strange memory leak bugs/ white screen and eventually quit playing . I moved on to try other games , EQ2 , then WoW , Lotro , Warhammer Online and Aion. I kept checking up on Planetside during my 2 year hiatus. The recent news on ps:n has brought me back , albeit due to me having a newer rig and the windows vista update , I can now run 75-200fps and enjoying it all again. I'm starting afresh , hence my new toon .

5) What are you looking for in a guild? Please be thorough.

I'm looking for a mature, organised group of people that use voice comms . My work IRL often means I don't sit down to play until 10pm gmt , and this fits in better I find with American server times. I play 2-4 hrs many days a week , usually longer at weekends if I can. As such I intend to roll on a US server if/when ps:n arrives.
I'm looking for a committed group of like-minded individuals who play for the greater good but that allow for real-life commitments .
People capable of self-motivation and a desire to better themselves , but overriding this the ability to listen and work as a team , roll armor when required , and recall at a seconds notice to reform and work towards a structured goal.


6) Are you over 18?

Yes , I'm 43 (gulp) and been playing video games since early 90's (yes, 20 years ) and been playing mmo's since 2003 . I have 2 children 15 and 13 , I'm no longer with my partner so I have quite a degree of family commitment and I work long hours . Playing mmo's fits in well with my strange time table and is the way I relax and unwind.

7) Have you READ AND UNDERSTOOD our CoC?

Yes

8) Any additional information you wish to provide us. Personal info, who you know in the guild , etc. ?

I've sort of touched on some of my personal info through this application , just to add my real name is Phil , and I live in Lancashire in the UK . I know the people in the guild only through Planetside Universe . It was the recent AGN cast that brought me to apply here , you had many from the guild commenting and I liked the enthusiasm and well thought out comments you displayed there, along with maturity. I know I'm applying from another country , it may be you are all based in west USA and play times are too extreme between us , I'm not sure .
I'm looking for a solid foundation to dig my heals into , get to know you while playing the current planetside and hopefully be part of a friendly family to move onto planetside : next or whatever incarnation it becomes .

Thankyou for your time in reading this application , and I respect your decision either way in advance.

 

I dont think that was me , sorry.

Thankyou for the in-game invite today , met a few of you briefly

 

My apologies for not being on line Mon/ Tues /Wed but I have a problem with my phone line , hopefully will get sorted thurday . I can connect to the internet , but can't use my telephone at all . I tried logging into planetside last night , my normal ping is 120-180 to Gemini server , at the moment it is 2500 ping.
Hope you understand.

 

Can anyone help me with TS3 , or rather how to set it up. I've applied to join the teamspeak server , but the link from this site is how to set up to ts /ts2 , which is straight forward as I've done similar in the past.

I've been all through the options I can see on ts3 , but can't fathom out how to access as a 'registered' user , or any option to 'add server' and enter my password or login name . At the moment I have to log in and hope someone notices me on my lonesome and moves me to the planetside channel to join others in game.

Last night , I was having a nice squad evening with others then the TS3 server kicked me for a minute or so due to temporary high ping/loss or something , and I was unable to rejoin the rest on comms , and none of the other guys could move me so I spent the last part of the night using /squad in game, which is awkward when you are trying to be part of a liberator group and coordinating attacks etc.

Any help would be appreciated , I've been looking at TS3 you tube tutorials but tbh the ones I watched were more for server admins and setting up a TS3 client.
