Wow, it's so sad to see so many names I fondly remember from over the years speak out for such tragic news. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to play Ryzom much due to RL issues, but I have followed it since open beta days and occasionally put in some time (Sui, Valeriana, Xarae, Guisenlin, Odran), always glad Atys still existed and always hoping to return on a more permanent basis. The only MMO that mattered.

I hope Atys weathers this change, but I fear for the outcome. I will still follow you all and I will still hope to return.
Thank you everyone, for 8 years of wonderful stories, ideas, and roleplay.

so what we gonna do till 22nd? im sure as hell that im not leveling any of my skills.. infact what can i do? except for log in and complain about starting again?.... common we need some kinda excitment till this merging takes place.. im so close to just downloading another mmorpg simply cause i cant wait till 22nd. i should also point out that since im pretty new in this game it doesnt really bother me much that i have to start again..

also one thing i cant figure out..

ok say you have merged all the servers and everyone is starting again. players doesnt have to pay for their account untill lvl 125!! and from what i know.. every1 would like to get all their skills to lvl 125 before they pay. now leveling 1 skill to 125 could take up to a month.. then another 2-3 months for the others skills.. now if this is the case.. doesnt that mean that your company (ryzom) wont be seeing any money from us (players) for a good 4-6 months...? can your company survive for that long with no money coming in?

If you're going to wipe everything, wipe EVERYTHING is my vote.

This Interview of VL opens more questions than it answers.

- There was not a single reason given why to wipe character levels. A lot of previous posts agree that there have been serious issues with the economy. But no reason to delete toons. If there is a serious reason, at least tell us about it now. Character transfers have been done before, and yes, there might be some work for support and devs involved. It's not about loosing some recent additions like occupations too (if they don't meet the standards of former ryzom development), it's about loosing the core of our characters.

- Rebalancing of the game... i'm really afraid about that one. Current Information and communication policy brings back worst nightmares of past rebalancings. This will be no good.

- It's not about difficult. It's about the mature community that held ryzom together. Most of us don't have the time to start fresh anymore. The question will be to keep RL up as good as it is now or continue with Ryzom.

- You contradict yourself about free to play. You say real ftp up to 125 is a unique feature (true) and you keep it that way (clearly wrong, read yourself about cats + ftp). Today it's a downside not to have sufficient space to be a crafter. But it can be explained. You will turn ryzom into one of those ftp games where non-paying players got a huge disadvantage. 2x Exp all the time for premium accounts is even more than most ftp games do, making ryzom a below average ftp game.

- You said it's not about RP. How do you explain one tryker cannot understand another when they want to chit-chat at stables or a bar? Governments cannot continue the way they were, most likely they will close down or held in one language only.

If you learned anything about this community in the past 8 years... don't do something like this without us.

Ulykus, while I agree to most you wrote, I fail to see why killing the occupation achievements is any better than killing skills. At best it is less catastrophic, but still nullifies efforts of roughly half a year of intense and often painful playing for a player who achieved grade 6 in basic occ and 250/250, 300/300 in extended.

I simply do not see for what we are being punished. Taking away our apts, beasts, guilds, all our items, ok, I can see some point. Merging the servers, painful, but probably promising anyway, and understandable. If money is lacking urgently, why not try some crowdfunding instead of abusing players who love their game?

I also kept my account for 6 years, even when I was not playing. Too much time invested in the game to start all over. I would cancel my sub, but my credit card was billed a week ago for 2 toons, 3 months. Sad :(

Maybe Ill have to ask for a refund...

I said it because i tried to imagine which part of the toon (not equipment) would be technically impossible to move. Since character transfers stopped roughly when webig was introduced i found it likely the issue was somewhat related to webig.

Any skill loss is bad, no doubt.

#71 Report | Quote[en] 

Take our Dappers (and our equipment, even), reset the Economy, but preserve our Skills, names, and Faces. Naming conflicts can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, if there are overlaps between servers (first one to log in keeps their old name, otherwise prompted for new name, but skills still left intact).

You still have time to instill this notion before the Sky falls on our heads...


I've been gaming for 35 years now, and on MMOs ever since they've been invented, and in all that time, I've never seen a more fair, balanced, equitable gaming system than Ryzom. With a population to match. A masterful programming achievement.

I understand financial woes during this economic (or lack thereof) era, but... a more Graceful solution is requested than the one you've put forth. Time to get back to the Dev huddle and reconsider your options.

You can do this! I know you can think of a better way. Just try, 'tis all I ask.

Another thing that maked me laugh is...



"Starting from tonight and until the closing of the old servers, we will implement a series of events that will help you earn "starter packs" on the new server that will facilitate your progress in the game. The best pack contains, amongst other things, a set of level 200 white Marauder Medium Armor."




Everyone that is Subbed should be given this at the very leaste for having everything else taken from them and deleted. There needs to be some kinda of reward for those silly enough to bother staying after you delete everything they worked for, without them having to work ever more for it IMO.

I'm just so shocked, its funny they think this will fix the game and get new people paying to play.
and that is the key word here "paying", you have merged and kept chars lvls twice before, saying you cant now is just a lie.
No new advertising, A pissed off once loyal comunity, and zero insentive for old players to return and new players still wont know about this game because they will not advertise. the best you had was word of mouth and now thats going to be gone from what i can see.

IMO merge keep player lvls skills ocupations so on, delte all other items housing money and such and delete any accounts that have not resubbed by a set date, that will get you more money from those people wish to save there toons will have to resubb. you still create space and you dont piss off your playerbase. and you make moneys. everyones a winner.

Got to be a better way they just deleting everything and saying you had no other choice. Its not like you even asked the comunity for ideas on how to make money or save the game from what i see.

This is horrible, beyond stupid, you have just killed the game.

#74 Report | Quote[en] 

Only explanation I can come up with is they no longer have someone on the team with the knowledge and expertise to combine the servers keeping the characters intact, otherwise it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever no matter how you look at it....

#75 Report | Quote[en] 

There can't be a technical reason why they can't transfer the characters because it's been done twice before. But if they don't/can't do it that way perhaps they can at least pull a record of all characters. Once the new server is up they would only need to wait for players to request they're levels back. The CSR's can check the players database records which will tell them what trees to boost to what level.

Boosting doesn't require anything specific to happen, it can be done in game face-to-face and is instant.
Because the population is so low it shouldn't keep the CSR's too busy after the first couple of weeks to full-fill most of the initial requests. After that I'm sure it will only be a slow trickle of old players occasionally making a requests.

I did the re-roll thing at beta, I did it again at Cho, there won't be any more reinvigorating experiences that I haven't all ready had since early 2004, the game isn't about levelling for me any more.

I know mine is an extreme case, but there are plenty of other players that have put a lot of time into just the levelling side, that won't want to do it again.

Please make a record of the databases and boost players on request...
