The objective of PlaneShift is to create a virtual fantasy world in which a player can start as a peasant in search of fame and become a hero. First of all PlaneShift is a Role Playing Game. Be sure to read the Roleplay guidelines or you will not be able to play this game. Focus your efforts in the reproduction of a real world with politics, economy, and many non-player-characters controlled by the server that will bring to life a complete world even without any players connected!

Connect to your virtual world at every hour of day or night to find the players and npcs wandering its realms. You will be able to disconnect and reconnect again without any worries, as the server saves the actual status of your character including his possessions.
You will use a client program to interact with your world, enabling you to have a 3D view of the surroundings.
