Hi everyone! I'm new to Ryzom, just got the game this weekend and so far I'm pretty intrigued by what I see. I'm still in the starter area, just trying to take it slow and figure out the game. I'm looking for a guild to join, I'm a brand new Zorai character just starting to learn the ropes of the game. :) Cookies sounds pretty much like what I'm looking for in a guild, how can I join?
Hi Xiadrii
Joining a guild is not the simple process it might sound; there are many factors that can influence your choice. When you get to the mainland, you will have the opportunities to choose whether to become aligned with a civilisation (Zorai, Fyros, Tryker or Matis - you don't have to choose the race of your character), a faction (Kami, Karavan, Marauder) or stay neutral in one or both cases. Guilds also have alignment and a player who is Zorai aligned cannot join a guild aligned with another race; similar with faction. You don't have to make those choices straight away but you should be aware of them when joining a guild in case it affects your options later.
Similarly, there are play style factors that can influence the choice of guild.The main example I'm thinking of here is PvP; some guilds choose not to, some actively encourage their members to do it, others lie somewhere in between. Your choice of whether you want to PvP can also influence the guild you choose.
Bottom line is, I would recommend your choice of guild is made in the same way you're approaching the game; take it slow and make an informed choice.
Hope this helps a little. Hope to see you on the mainland sometime.

You can't "complete" the mainland. If one thinks one has seen or done everything there, one is kidding oneself. But be prepared to "get out what you put in," because the mainland does not coddle or hold hands.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.
