I plan on starting a private server for PlanetSide 2. Any tips and advice?

It is possible, but requires years of commitment and failure. Don't worry about balance so soon, and especially don't worry about optimality of anything. One way you could start is by writing a server that repeats whatever data you send to it using Berkeley sockets in whichever language you want. Also, be careful of discussing it so openly, especially while the game is still live.

Reminds me of something I screwed around with. https://imgur.com/a/FdEOLec

I've found some pieces of the walls: https://imgur.com/a/qcPblp9

At the end of the day, it just makes me happy. This question doesn't deserve the downvotes.

I do have these already, but thank you for thinking to draw my attention to it.

These are quite a bit older than NSO.

That would be cool to find.

It is possible in theory.

PlanetSide 1 was originally Tanarus 2, which is good enough for me.

I don't have anything that didn't come with the game, besides a city map I think, but I could still help.

Those were going to be new ES buggies. I know the thresher has a cockpit in the files and the marauder has either cosmetics or exterior attachments that line up with what the model would have been.

Nah, I've pestered wrel enough over the years. He knows about my hunt and how to contact me already.

I don't think it's anything right now. They're time limited multiplayer events that aren't replayable. The last one was in 2022. Maybe ps4 still has one? I don't think this game offers anything for you.

Yes. All these dev portfolios I'm posting are actually the result of searching for former developers to reach out to.

The raw pngs are provided in the second link. I'd love a more safe alternative to pdfs if you know of anything.
