Introduction

After the bad experiences on Wikipedia, where the PlaneShift article has been destroyed by trolls multiple times, I would like to create a page with the history of PlaneShift and collecting all articles, references to it. I think this can be a good place, as it seems a wiki dedicated to players. I seek the support of admins here to create this in here. Let me know where is a good place for it. For now I will just use my user page.

This page can be edited by people who like the game and want to collect all press articles, magazines, videos,... It's ok to give a realistic view of the game, with some criticism when needed.

I will organize better in the next weeks this information, but everyone is welcome to improve it.

Releases

Will be good to have a list of all releases, maybe also with some screenshots to show the evolution of it.

The first major version (0.1) released on May 2, 2002 was codenamed "Atomic Blue".

( Add screenshot here )

The next version (0.2) was released on March 7, 2003 and codenamed "Molecular Blue".

(Add screenshot here)

The Molecular Blue server was shut down on December 16, 2004 and replaced on December 24, 2004 with version 0.3, Crystal Blue.

This was subsequently replaced by the version codenamed, "Steel Blue" on March 2, 2008.

The current version "Arcane Chrysalis" was released to the public on December 10, 2009.
