Planeshift is a very fun game, but it is also important to keep in mind that it is still in the stages of early development. So there may be times when not all is working quite right, or the server may crash. If you have patience, server stability increases (As of mid-July the server just got updated, so it is more unstable than usual but that is improving daily), and bugs decrease over time. I do believe this is one of the better free games I have played, with a great community. Unlike other MMORPGs you may be familiar with, this one actually emphasises the role-playing aspect, not high levels or powerful equipment (though those are always a plus to have :) ). This game is also cross-platform and can run on Mac, PC, and Linux.
