    I just got it going on the standard AVD that comes with the Android SDK... about 5 fps. So fail.

    I was just going to write about that.
    Have you tried the latest 3.0 SDK?
    What are your machine specs? 5FPS is kinnda fail, but there might be a reason.
    Although there is support for opengl in the SDK as well, that would only be software implementation through libGLES_android (since there's no 3d hardware per se and thus no complementing OpenGL extensions)
    Then again, software should run just fine on a fast machine.

    There are some additional solutions, if you're desperate enough.
    You could for instance download a live cd of android-x86 and boot that up.

    OR

    run that live cd in a vmware/parallels environment and run from there, which would be quite suicidal...

    A PC version is in the future, after they wrap up all the end game content, they'll finish up on it and throw it out there, until then, there isn't an emulator for PL to be formatted to the PC. Closest I've come is using my iPad, and hooking it up to an apple wireless keyboard and mouse, but then there aren't any macros or WASD to move around.

    After all the end game content, so maybe around, eh, let's say version 1.8-2.0? Depends how the devs take it/wanna do it.

    Forgot to close Crysis... that was hogging 8 GBs of RAM...


    It's running at about 25 fps, capped there. Emulator won't let it get any higher.

    lol yea, that will make things slower...

    anyways, i hope it is a browser plugin or something, instead of a client. would simply be easier.

    lol if u think thats hard try playing other mmos... :S

    in aion i used ~-7 q e z x c t g h, alt ~-7 q e z x c, shift ~-7 q e z x c, and ctrl with those keys here and there... and that was only just for skills/consumables on top of aswdrf for movement/flight and then the mouse for added movement lol. WoW was the same.

    im begining to doubt a pc version just because the overall advantage in pvp which would be HUGE. in fact i would only pvp with a pc in that case x.x

    but also, if u want to talk about advantages... in any sort of competitive pvp, phones with bigger screens and full querty keyboards have the upper hand against people with straight up touch screens like the iphone/droidx.
    i have a droid x and i find it very frustrating sometimes T_T but i am also use to the above mentioned hot key setup :s

    sorry for rant -.-'

    I think this player sums it up best although his explanation may appear confusing to someone who has never played PC MMORPG's. To paraphrase: any adept player in a PC MMORPG will have 20+ separate items/abilities hotkeyed and be able to fluidly activate any of them as quick as most people can press the "move forward" button. These players could key every function in PL without the use of ALT, CTRL, SHIFT functions and never have to stretch their hands.

    I believe making a PC version of PL undermines the purpose of its creation in the first place.

    PC servers should be different from mobile servers IMO.

    Idk how they're gonna do controls, but just the use of a mouse alone would be too good especially for targetting. If they do click to move, you can just mash your hotkeys away too.

    I'm not sure if this would work or not. You could try installing the android SDK. You can setup a virtual device for testing apps on the PC before publishing etc. I'm not sure if you can actually install APKs on that virtual device though.

    I've been busy with work lately so I haven't got round to trying it. If someone does could you let me know if it works or not, thanks
