Give old socks some titles ! ^^ - IDEAS FOR RYZOM

#26 Added by Oleandor 8 years ago [fr]

I think it''s a good idea to give a title to the older players. It's something that's been successful on other mmos.

They could also send out a mailing to email address and say anyone who has logged on by such and such a time that played during this time period will automatically receive this title. With a cutoff point of either a version of the game or amount of years played. Something along those lines.

A one time mailing. That would encourage returning players and be a thank you to the players who played after the beta stage but were still part of the charter members of the game.

After further thinking, there is no need anymore for me to continue the debate, so i decided to edit this last post, and if somebody felt pissed off by my words, sorry for that. I proposed an idea, nobody want it, that's fine, no problem. After all, it was just an idea not my deepest wish lol. Have fun and stay safe. /wave

Wrong : Elder of Atys is a beta participant title (Awarded to accounts which have been active since beta) see by yourself : http://en.wiki.ryzom.com/wiki/Titles

Actually the Wiki is technically wrong, Elder of Atys was given to Focus Beta Testers, not everyone that beta tested; which is why the break dance is triggered by /fbt. Whether that's been changed since is another matter.

Mojca

Edit : somebody said to me in game, that after merge they gave this title to pre-merge players, so idk which is now true.

I wouldn't be happy about that...

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.

I seem to notice a pattern here. Grave of the Fireflies always seem to attack any ideas in force that aren't kami or from their guild.

Personally I don't see why having every member of one guild giving their opinion ought to sway everyone's opinion about what new idea should be implemented.

I really find this Elder of Atys attitude a little distasteful. Why should everyone in the game have to bow down to some focus beta tester's opinion twelve years after the fact?

Thats a silly statement. If you read up you can see that I liked the Idea. And what guild am I from?

I seem to remember I agreed with Mojca's idea. Sadly, most people that are NOT Mojca seemed to disagree with it, regardless of guild.

But hey, feel free to drum up a pattern if you really need it..

I wouldn't have a problem with titles based on length of time played; wouldn't have thought it was too difficult to implement either.

What sort of titles were you thinking of?

So exactly where did I disagree with Mojca?

Naema

+1 I like this Idea.

Mjollren

Personally I would think of something that depends on actual played time, but even that would reward people sitting at stables for hours..

.. in any case, giving people a title hurts no one and it makes them smile, so :)

Or any of the other Fireflies for that matter?

Also I'm not Kami, I'm neutral and would never foster any kind of Kami agenda.

Only pattern seems to be that you don't read posts before trying to further whatever agenda/issue you seem to have with GoF.

Everyone has their right to an opinion; I'd place more weight on yours if you'd posted more than you have. Are you sure you're happy for your very first post on these forums to be an unfounded attack?

Please discuss the topic in question and refrain from off topic accusations. Also see the Forum Rules on how to behave with courtesy at all times.

I think an appropriate title would be a nice acknowledgement to those who have supported Ryzom over the years.
Even a few titles to reflect different major events could be considered. Doesnt require a lot of extra code, and would be a 'payback' to the dedicated players.

Thank you, Mahz. Sadly, it is not the will of the staff to provide us with such a title and no titles are provided except for beta + cho/windermeer people, dixit Tiximei.

Well not giving a new title should really please the two focus beta testers left in the game.

Maybe they can enjoy playing all by themselves and break dancing together.

Sure wouldn't want to do anything to keep the other 23 players that are left in the game.

As an aside, there is an achievment based on the time you have played. It is called "The game doesn't play itself".

Whatever that is worth.....

Which i'm perfectly aware about, but totally inaccurate is, as implemented in 2013/after merge as far as i can see as all of my achievements are dated from 2013, which sounds weird considering i started in 2004. Also, some of the unachieved are impossible considering my age (never wear a 165 jewels ? lol). At last but not least, the played time is also no correct as it is ridiculously small which makes me think that it also only start from 2013, not counting pre-merge time spent in game.

Sorry. I didn't know that. I am a relative newbie from post-merge.
