You know, its a LONG time since we last played an LRP game. I recall
talking to Rog at the time (when Ghost Recon became de rigeur for us
and we had networked sessions at Kim and Sparkies). He said 'perhaps
this is the year virtual eclipse goes virtual'.

Anyway, I'd like to draw your attention to:

Planetside is a first person sci fi shooter I play. It really
rewards teamwork and I reckon some of you folks would find it a lot
of fun. I've been playing it for 3 years on a paying account, but
they now have a free version, called planetside reserves.

The only real difference is you are limited in Battle Rank and
Command Rank. This does not prevent you from being reasonably
effective on the battlefield, although your character will be less
flexible than a higher ranking one. But its not like say D@D where a
level 20 character will completely outclass a level 6 character. The
Battle rank limits the number of different weapons / vehicles /
support equipment you can use, but does not decrease the
effectiveness of each piece of kit. In other words you will not be a
sitting duck for players on full accounts.

I am in an outfit that uses teamspeak for tactics, and would love to
see some of you guys in game. Remember, its free, but if you like it
you can upgrade.

Anyway, here is our guild website: www.khaosclan.com

Our main faction within the game is New Conglomerate (NC) on the
Werner server. My main characters name is Beachball.

Hope to see some of you there; additionally its about time we met
up. I need beer and curry.
