Planeshift is a 3D persistent fantasy Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing game (MMORPG).
PlaneShift is set inside a colossal stalactite named Yliakum, which is divided into eight levels, of which the lower two are flooded. Ylakum is a large underground city with different races, factions, guilds, adventures, and many unexplored places.
The objective of the PlaneShift Team is to create a virtual fantasy world in which a player can start as a peasant in search of fame and become a hero. You can explore the virtual world, interact with other players or with server controlled creatures, fight monsters, cast spells, solve quests and puzzles, improve your character, gain magical items and more.
Like many MMORPG, PlaneShift lets you customize your character. However, unlike the majority of games of this genre, you can customize many things about your character that have never been considered in other games.
PlaneShift is based on CrystalSpace and is programmed with a full featured client-/server-environment.

Two things should be noted:
1) PlaneShift is a real RPG – we love to role-play, and try to be In Character as much as possible.
2) PlaneShift is not F2P in the standard sense (meaning only mostly free!), but FULLY free to play. There is no way to get in-game advantages for real money.
All that matters is how you (role-)play the game.
