Smed's Blog has word from SOE's John Smedley on their goal of supporting PlanetSide 2 for more than a decade in a massive update about the MMOFPS sequel, following a tweet showing off concept art for a Bastion Fleet Carrier being designed for the game (thanks VG247 where they also note a post on Massively discussing plans to make Station Cash purchases in the game available account-wide). Here's a portion of the post on the game's future: We have games that have run for over 13 years, so when we're making Planetside 2 we aren't looking at what it's like in 2012. We're thinking about a game we plan to have running in 2025. Yeah. Really. I plan on doing a lot of direct comparisons to other games. When I'm doing that in no way do I want any of this to be viewed as me slamming other games. I've played the heck out of Battlefield 2 and 3 as well as BFBC2. I've also played a ton of MW2 and MW3 as well as TF2. I am primarily a PC gamer. I've also played on teams extensively. All of the above games are amazing and are made by people with tremendous talent and passion that I have the utmost respect for. We're making Planetside 2 to be a game we at SOE want to play. We've gotten a lot of inspiration from elements of the above games as well as many other games.. including our own and especially from the original Planetside which we released back in 2003. Well ahead of it's time. This isn't meant to be a super comprehensive FAQ on Planetside 2 - just some things I wanted to get out there after reading a lot of questions and comments. Also - it's late.. I'm not spending a ton of time formatting this too well, so sorry for the wall of text in many spots.

PS2 is great so far. One of the best ways to experience the game is with an organized outfit, which gives things more purpose. Sure, there isn't a huge reason to cap or keep a base, but if a group of people make it their goal to hold a tech plant to deny the Vanu their precious Magriders, it makes the game a lot more entertaining to watch them flail around with just infantry and Scythes, which you can mow down with massed dual Burster AA.
But yeah, look into a big outfit like 666th on Connery, or if you want to put up with the queues on Mattherson (where most of the old players as well as Goons/Redditers went), you should check out some of the VS outfits like GOTR or Azure Twilight.
Or, if you're a real man, look into the Enclave on TR. BuzzcutPsycho's leadership will keep you entertained for hours. Like most leaders of large outfits, he realizes that new players are the future of the game should be welcomed, and he has about a dozen people actively recruiting at all times. One member of the outfit is even part of the dev team. Enclave isn't for everyone, but if you have the right personality, you'll love it.
If you want to see excellent examples of leadership from the front, check out his twitch.tv at http://www.twitch.tv/buzzcutpsycho.
