I recently, for no real reason other than going back to that old "girlfriend" that I had often thought so fondly of, resubbed with Planetside.

I have to say, even with 6 years of wear and tear...its is still one of the most unique and most rewarding (while simultaneously frustrating) games ever.

The PvP doesn't seem nearly as contentious as other games, which is probably because of the complete absence of PvE. And because of the competition being completely other players, success in PS has always had a substantially more meaningful feeling to it.

While the genre itself hasn't caught on completely, I can see where if handled correctly...especially marketing...it could be a great hit after modernization.

Now if I only had the monetary resources to buy the IP from SOE...sigh...where did I leave that lottery ticket?
