The objective of the PlaneShift project is to create a virtual fantasy world in which a player can start from humble beginnings and advance to greatness in whatever path they may choose. PlaneShift is a Role Playing Game - be sure to read our Roleplay guidelines! We will focus our efforts on the reproduction of a real world with politics, economy and many non-player-characters controlled by the server that will bring our world to life, even without players connected!
We want to give FREE access to everyone, without the need to either purchase the game or pay a monthly fee. Servers and bandwidth will be donated by sponsors.
Our virtual world is persistent, and this means you can connect to it at any hour of the day and you will always find players and NPCs wandering our realms. You will be able to disconnect and reconnect again as many times as you like because your character is stored on the server, so you will never have to worry about saving the game.
