1. Roads aren't safe:
Well the roads are just there for decoration I imagine, maybe they are from times when atys was safe who knows.
Mobs in this game don't have a set spot they move with season changes (nice to see a whole bunch of herbies gather and move somewhere else), some of the agro mobs also just roam around, and so on ....
2. MOBs keep folowing you:
Depends on the mob and stuff but I'm sure in real life most carnivores will hunt down their prey over big distances aswell
3. Mobs and lvls of zones:
The normal rule is there is a zone 0-50,50-100,100-150,150-200,200-250 the different lvl mobs are all over the zone so yes a q50 carnivore can be next to a q13 yubo since thats what they eat => look around you will actually notice some agro eating herbies and such nice to watch
4. Mount:
your idea of mount respawning when you die at stables would be the worst thing in this game since diggers put their mounts,packers close where they work and the poor souls keep dieing so would be big pain if they had to move packers over again every time.
It's true you can't fight while mounted wich is kind of something alot of ppl miss, then again ryzom treking is being about being smart and sneaking, watch the mobs and look how they behave this is actually best game i know for exploration with its dynamics
5. Missions:
Well i know nothing about them since I never do missions, this is not a mission based game. The missions are here just for fame/dapper grinding and to be used as a distraction when you are bored. There are some big mission story lines called rites but not gonna go into that here
6. Vendors:
Once the weapon/armor has been used you can only sell to merchant and not sell on to others (except trade), look out when selling mats aswell if you wanna use merchant as storage then put price to 9999% and choose sell to others
7. Mob designations:
Again look how they behave of you see a gingo eat a yubo then you know the gingo is gonna be agro on you aswell, but for some mobs you are true that the only way to find out is trough trial and error can read the lore on them on http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben/wiki/L_Creatures to find out some more aswell
8. Death penalty:
Learn to live with it, don't go out alone but with a healer if you have a hard time (thats why we have guilds), try killing plants they give best xp and are pretty safe.
9. crafting/digging
You talking to wrong person here since i'm one of only players who never digged or crafted. Then again as a pure hunter you can still go kill bosses for mats and help guild out that way. But you better go talk with somebody like Talkirc above me here if you need help with digging and crafting.
==> Well in the end this game is not for everyone but atleast you gave it a try wich is nicebut we aren't WOW and ryzom will never try to be it either, we like this game being hard
