This could be expressed in a number of very simple ways like a ticket, acknowledgment under Temporary Fixes, or simple participation (not competition) in any event.

Um, Yumeroh already said that f2p only have to participate, not compete. Read the second point under free account from the very first post which I quote below:

Yumeroh (Aniro)

If you have a free account, you have the choice between:
Doing nothing: In this case, all characters of the account will be deleted.
Involve one or more of your characters in events before the servers close: In this case, their levels will be reset and will start with a Basic Pack.
If your character should win a Silver Pack, it will replace the Basic Pack.

All starter packs save the toon's look and name.

True, and thanks for clarifying, but the way some of them are playing out is a form of competition for survival against fellow Homins...

Either give them to everyone who participates, or no one.

Competing over them is just kinda sad and gross imo.

Hopefully the TP tour on Sat. will be more inclusive, and more universal with the Basic Starter Packs.

Also, if Refugee Starter Packs existed, they would be very easy to give out if some CSR's would like to stand around in the camp in Silan for a bit. We've started from nothing before, and Silan is not a bad place to do it again.

edit: that's in terms of getting a starter pack at all, competing for a silver one over a basic one is a different issue
edit: we experienced at least one on silan yesterday on Ari, where only 3 were given out on ML, and 3 on silan... interesting gesture, but the result was not so good

Is there something I'm missing about the wiki calendar?
The OP mentioned the event details would be there, but I can't find them.

I can't see anything there either.

Personally I think this new beginning will be beneficial. Cant wait to discover Ryzom and play with fellow players

The routes to the higher level dig areas will be blocked with kitin of increasing levels. (This was in the earlier announcement.)

hmm i don't see where thats mentioned. No where do i remember them talking of a kitin invasion. before or after

Unless peps are talking of PvP I really don't see how older homins over power new homins. If you're new and don't want help then fine dont take. But Ryzom is set up so there are low lvl areas and higher lvl areas, I don't see many high lvl players farming low lvl mobs etc. I just don't see where this idea of 'over powerment' comes from. unless its PvP in which case you should say "PvP" not in the game general.

Creating a level playing field is silly ryzom is stratified by regions naturally. I just don't see it. And not sure how they intend to fix dappers, the only problem with dappers is that theres no big ticket items to buy since we're limited to certain numbers of mektoubs, apts, guild halls. yea not seeing it. am i missing something?

not sure what was going on with 1.0

but the server stratification issue was concerning a 2x xp bonus from lvl 1...

i was refering to the reasons for the reset wipe that some keep talking about. Paying players will definitly be separated from f2p because of the xp change.

Hi all,

My brother and I played this game for a few months back in 2009. We were thinking about resubbing (P2P) when we got emails about "A New Beginning 2.0" and saw that all servers would be wiped and merged to one server.

After digging around for info a bit it looks like only free players will be wiped and those with subs with keep everything? I suppose this makes sense from the standpoint of catering to those who have been paying Ryzom's bills for the last several years. However, my brother and I have no interest in resubbing and playing again after finding out that it wasn't a full wipe for everyone. Maybe if their were two servers (one for those who elect to keep anything and another for those who are willing to have everything but their name/appearance wiped?) we would be interested.

Just thought the powers that be and the community would like another perspective. :)

oic that's cool

server merge will make a more populated world, but all the other changes seem very unwelcomed by the players, not to mention causing a great deal of strife beforehand.

not sure who they consulted on that issue, but I think the players know alot better than they do.

should have asked us beforehand, as we would have given that info for free

Not everything. Even those who keep the most possible will lose all of their items (by "apartment items" they mean furniture, not items stored in the apartment), any special titles they have (except for the beta title "Elder of Atys"; I don't for sure what will happen to the Windermeer title "Wayfarer" or the Cho title "Journeyer"), their fame, their occupations, their guilds...am I forgetting anything? Plus, many map marks will be invalidated by the change-around of resource and mob spawn locations.

Those are all three account bound titles. That being the case, all three titles should work the same.

Thanks for the clarification. Still seems similar to what I was suggesting. Seems backwards as well. Seems like it would make more sense to let people keep their name, appearance, titles, guilds, etc. and delete all items, levels, skills, etc. Meh. I don't fit the mold of your average MMO player, I guess. I am/would be much more excited by the prospect of completely starting over along with everyone else than I am by a setup that allows vets to retain quite a bit of what they have.

Well there will indeed be alot of players just starting out and currently are... i don't see why you shouldn't want to play with them. Older players play too its a big diverse world. Lots of homins doing lots of things. Vets won't have anything other than experience and skills, so more of Atys will be used.

Just comes round to what i said before whats a 'level playing field'? everyone must be same level all the time?? i don't get it.

Totally agree with this. Form guilds of restart players. High lvl players won't be in the same areas anyways, you don't need to ask for or accept their help and you can enjoy the experience of forging your way through Atys anew with guildies of a similar mindset.

The stratification of player lvls would begin to reassert itself within days of a complete restart anyway. Other then a full reset and a limit on XP earned per day, there is no way to get any perceived "level playing field". Even then it would only be a matter of time.

I guess I don't get it either...
