Seems like potbs is dead at the moment from reading the forums :? dunno what its about if its patch or lack of content, but seems sad after all the energy you guys put into it

anyway, i have an offer to make. COME BACK TO WOW!!! I want to play with the old NO guys, not the new ones, they are no fun and they dont do anything else than raid raid raid. Me and rockett would sure be up for some events w/e and i have 2 characters yet to lvl so if anyone wanna go that way im up hoho

Sorry not going back to that :)
Potbs is having serious issues keeping people interested indeed.
Mostly lack of content.. the game is based on pvp, but that turns out too much as a grind aswell.
I still like the game, yet it became a more casual game to me..
Dont feel like being hardcore active in it much, making it a nice addition to the station access pass when i start playing more soe games.. but not to keep a full sub running for long.
Unless they have some big changes coming in the next month ill be focussing on aoc/war.
Should see a aoc openbeta coming up soon, my guess would be in 2-3 weeks (6 weeks before release)

I think I can visit WoW occasionally. My account is still active since a friend was paying for it.

Reinstalling and patching wow is a lifestyle of it's own!

World of Warcraft. Where you kidnapped by Aliens after you left Planetside? :P :lol: "WoW" has forced itself into common language as a proper word and not just an acronym its so popular.


I have lost a lot of faith in Blizzard and that hasn't been restored from what I've been reading in all the WoW Versus Warhammer Versus Age of Conan features popping up around the Internet.
Until Blizzard grows a concious and actually adds content more regularly with this monthly subscription everyone is paying, I won't return.

I'm fairly tempted to play PlanetSide for a month or so though. Need my shooter fix :o

the addition of new content is indeed abit slow. But I'm very pleased with it, theyve learned some now with this new patch, it takes consideration for all types of players. new 25 man, new 5 man, new daily, new badge items and pvp changes. Also they are working on WotLK which i am truly hoping that some of you guys will return to, atleast to do the lvling/5man(10man) end game :beer:

What wow lacks is not so much content updates. It`s feauture updates... theres not enough of it.
Its almost all raid content to keep you busy, with grinding on the side to support it.
And ofcourse then farming those instances once youve completed them for the loot.
Then you got that great loot etc.. and then theres another expansion. All your efforts are more or less back to 0 and the grindfest/raiding starts again.
It`s fun for some time, but in the end i personally just got bored with it. Nothing usefull on the side to do. Can`t say pvp had any real purpose.. was fun too but alot of it eventually meaningless..

I'll consider activating for a month. Too bad I just got billed for POTBS, else I would've definatly done it.
