Refused

+1 (Same "scare" experience for me). +10 Specially for those who can't speak in English, and/or has "quite poor" english as I do.

And, at that time, I found on wiki many, many outdate informations (ceb, support channel... I tried to update some, but there's lot of outdated stuffs. AND acronyms make comprehension difficult)

LOL I was even scared to modify some wiki pages, after written a post on the forum, as I had been "shot" there... :p

-----

I found (elsewhere) a post saying the chat wiki pages are very different in FR and EN (I created a "special commands" for fr.wiki very recently).

I used to work in shifted schedules (evening/morning/night weeks, on 7/7d and 24/24h in a little team, for 8h or 12h long) this 10 past years, therefore I know that yes, we all "play a different game". Specially getting old, too much "double clics" are really painfull  :p

Nice idea to fix a short text, checked by a translation team, about the different channels, as Revvy suggested here. And yes, I am very often shocked by some RP or occ sentences at 1st glance ; it's true that RP can be learned and fun.

 

For ex, I would like to say that I don't understand the Heernis 1st post's DeepL translation - DeepL "translate" for ex "under fame 25" in "under 25 years old" ! DeepL can be worth than GooTrad LOL.

An other ex: the French term "Ranger" seems to have a different meaning that for most of the English speakers. It can moove from US army to Scouting, with detour to the field guard (I remember I understood it that way first, related to the nature conservation. In a way, I still act as it would be LOL).----+1 on last Mermedia post :p

Translation of Mermaidia post, because it is very important.
It is the voice of numerous clients of this game.

Without falling into the endless "it was better before", we have to admit some facts.

There have been some attempts to return for some: 1 month resub, just because Ryzom took us by the gut one day and we always end up coming back, but until when?
Now these attempts to return are being made without resub....

So yes we are happy to see the friends again but the story is not moving forward, the RP calendar is empty from empty and it's a pity for an MMORPG.

For example: a few nights ago, I was asked about who does what among the Fyros, senators, NPCs, etc.
Forced to dig up posts on X forums to try to review everything (and it was laborious and I don't have all the answers).

And now I come back to a post about the investigation into the death of Senator Abycus where we were told that the events would resume in January, then got reported to February... 2018 !
Today, March 6, 2019, we are still at the same point...
(Lykos had said he was taking over the business personally. Mermaidia would like to give him a chance, by respect for the memory of the last senator, but now she is more and more desperate about his inefficiency).

Disappointment after disappointment, even the most hooked ones move away by spacing their connections time....


Ryzom could be so much more alive if we could restart the RP machine and not just between friends around a fire or in a bar,
if we could resume events on a larger scale and train other players in this direction.
The RP is not innate, it is discovered and developed.

2 lines please, just to show this facet of this game that has caught our attention so much, and why not make other players come back to us.

[EDIT] Removed because answering to deleted comments.

Just a note, I am not sure all of you have noticed that the message was changed some time ago and actually says the following:

Very interesting Moniq... i wonder why English and French version differ..

The french version is more strict, not to mention that on the english version you have "It is used for general chat" <- which is not the case on the french one...

Hello,

Just a word to tell I'll answer this topic tomorrow.

[EDIT] Removed because answering to deleted comments.

[EDIT] Removed the quote of a previously deleted sentence.

Everyone have place in Atys i would answer to you.
The game start to be old, and not very welcoming, the mentality did change in this era and 2019 with all the new games, steam, the thousands free to play game you can try that are even better than this.

People expect something, they expected a certains guidance.
They want to go into the action of the game directly, and learn by themselv because its rewarding, they are tired of the work day and want to have fun directly, not read novels.

And Silan fail to provide this, you are open minded enough to understand this i think.
This is what Jellona try to explain in very big about Silan.

You will see, for Ryzom to survive in a long term once again (or reborn? since its quite dead already), Silan will need to be reworked out, at least the tutorial.

It is not a matter of been smart or reading langage etc, its just not catchy enough (a 150 lines pop up) for the common players base, and attract/hook new clients.
It need to be modernized, designed in a way it is more accessible.

Like 2 lines in around channel can fix a few things by example.
We can imagine a guidance tutorial with players interaction (like Runescape) instead of a pop-up with 100 lines of text writted with tiny fonts size.
