If you feel that the bulletin board is not enough for your discussions, you can join the planeshift fans IRC channel.

Connect to irc.gamesnet.net on port 6667 and channel #planeshift.

I know that many are asking for a new board and we are trying to find a server that can host it for free. If you can host it on your servers please contact us! The board will require php and mySQL or DB_File package.

Our organization is changing to reflect the new concepts described on the recruitment page. The Team page is now up-to-date with new titles. Check it in the Help-Us! section.

Some news about the first demo:
- You will have only a limited set of races to choose, because we are still creating the 3D models for other races. The races available will be StoneBreaker Dwarf, Enkidukai, Ynnwn. One more will follow.
- You will have the ability to create your character off-line and test all the combinations of stats/skills before sending it to the main server.

...more will follow.
