Below are the links to the latest patch applied: • Patch 868 of April 17, 2021 • Patch 873 of April 20, 2021 (fix of patch 868) Pour information, le contenu de ce patch est désormais complétement actif sur Atys.Thus, we have added, among others : – lessons and rewards for the entire Storyline; – allegories that produce effects and Storyline missions to improve those effects; – activation of Nexus Minor outposts.Please note that the form of the lessons (illustrated guides to the missions) from the Storyline will be used for the projects: – Silan refactoring (tutorial lessons) – New Encyclopedia (guide to the Rites lessons)Are there any questions, remarks or feedback?
Regarding multiboxing as well as sanctions, we would like to update the Code of Conduct in the near future. So I'm going to tell you what we're planning to change.As a reminder, the current Code of Conduct can be found here.1 - Multiboxing and PvPWe currently have a problem of inaccuracy and even contradiction within the Code of Conduct (CoC):In PvP zone, players not wanting to be attacked are asked to leave the zone. ==> Attacking a player in Nexus with 4 simultaneous accounts is therefore allowed.Multiboxing is limited to 2 simultaneous accounts in Storyline events. ==> Attacking a player doing a Storyline mission in Nexus with more than 2 simultaneous accounts is therefore forbidden.This, in addition to not taking into account the case of Super Nodes, also causes tricky tickets to be solved in Nexus.So, to clarify the Code of Conduct, we will extend the 2 simultaneous accounts limit to all PvP, so to PvP on outposts, in PvP region (Super Nodes and Nexus included), and everywhere on Atys.2 - Multiboxing during off-peak hoursThe limitation of multiboxing in the CoC has had a positive impact on gaming during European game hours, but also a strong negative impact on the number of players during extra-european game hours (peak hours of play in countries like the USA, but during which the number of players connected to Ryzom is very low).This last point poses an intractable problem for Ryzom in terms of marketing, which has financial repercussions.In concrete terms, while the limitation causes no problem of play during European hours, the low number of players and the numerous time zones make it impossible, during off-peak hours, for you to access the high level game (Bosses, Marauder Bosses) unless you use more than 2 simultaneous accounts.This makes us enter the vicious circle: Lack of players during off-peak hours ==> Not enough people to access the high level game ==> Unsubscription and leaving of the game ==> No one to welcome the new ones ==> Departure of the new ones ==> Lack of players during off-peak hours.So, to give off-peak hours players access to high-level play again and to give us a chance to repopulate the server during these hours, we will be testing, during 1 month, the tolerance of 4 simultaneous accounts for everything but PvP during off-peak hours, from 22:00 UTC (0:00 CEST) to 05:00 UTC (07:00 CEST), the time when this tolerance is needed to be able to play at high level. If the community reception and impact on the number of connections/subscriptions on off-peak hours of this provision is positive, it will be added to the CoC after the test month, which will run from June 15th to July 15th.3 - Addition of a penalty scaleCurrently, the CoC does not provide for any intermediate sanction between 1 month suspension and lifetime ban: we will remedy this by adding a one-year suspension sanction (more details to come later).I'll let you react on the three points: first on the first one (multiboxing and PvP), then we'll go on with the other two.

As the off-peak period ends in the early afternoon for players in Australia and New Zealand, and that some European players might want to use their alts as well, I was wondering : if the test goes well and the community largely wants it, would you consider in the future the possibility of extending this increased tolerance to more time zones?We chose these hours to test because they are off-peak hours in terms of connections. If the test is positive, we may adjust the time slot by one hour if needed. The goal is to allow players connected at off-peak times to also enjoy the high level game. This is not related to nationalities, so any player who is connected during these hours will benefit from the lifting of the limitation.

I have the impression that you understand it the wrong way: the general limit is 2 accounts: In European night time (22 UT - 5 UT) four accounts are allowed. So why would it impact the multi accounts outside Europe more than in Europe? Also: reducing this the the very intention...That said, basically everything can be done with 2 accounts other than killing certain bosses - where you then need 2 or 3 actual players.

I inform you that Ryztart has reached a rather satisfactory stage (even if there are still some small things to be polished and translations that could be missing).It is now stable enough to propose it in beta version on the Ryzom website, at least the Linux and Windows versions (the Mac version has not been finalized). We will also make a post on the forum to get your feedback. In the meantime I give you here the links for the downloads:• for Linux >>> https://me.ryzom.com/ryztart_installer_x86_64.tgz • for Windows >>> https://me.ryzom.com/ryztart_installer_amd64.exe (this is only 64b version, for those who are still in 32b, be patient).It is not necessary to uninstall ryzom_installer, nor even Ryzom, but it is strongly advised to save the folders 0/ 1/ 2/ 3/... which contain your backups and which are located in : • under Windows >>> C:/Users/<USERNAME>/AppData/Roaming/Ryzom• under Linux >>> ~/.local/share/RyzomYou can find more information on the wiki.That's it for Ryztart. Any questions or comments?
We will soon update the Code of Conduct with regard to multiboxing, courtesy rules and sanctions. I will present to you what we will change.As a reminder, the current Code of Conduct is available here (click on the language flag to change it).Addition of a penalty scaleAdding (in B. Warnings and sanctions) a penalty scale for ''Major Offence'': 1 week of suspension / 1 month of suspension / 1 year of suspension (NEW) / Permanent ban.Precision in the Courtesy RulesAdding (in I.7. Bad behavior on a chat channel of the game (Game server, IRC, forums and Rocket chat included)) homophobic ones to the list of prohibited comments.[b]Modifications about Multiboxing and PvP & Multiboxing during off-peak hours[b]Three additions in III.4 Multiboxing, namely:a) Adding all PvP situations to the list of those subject to limitations: to clarify the code of conduct, we will extend the limit of 2 simultaneous accounts to all PvP, i.e. PvP on outposts, in PvP regions (i.e. including super nodes and the Nexus), and everywhere on Atys.b) Adding a new paragraph ruling multiboxing during off-peak hours: to allow US players to access the high-level game again and to give us a chance to repopulate the server during US hours, we are currently (until July 15) testing the tolerance of 4 simultaneous accounts for everything but PvP during off-peak hours, from 10pm UTC to 5am UTC (0-7am CEST), so during the hours when it is necessary for proper gameplay. As the community response and the impact on the number of US connections/subscriptions is positive, this rule will be added to the CoC in a few days, as follows.III.4.4 Multiboxing during off-peak hoursMultiboxing is tolerated for up to four simultaneous accounts for all activities except PvP during the hours when it is a gameplay necessity due to low game server traffic (22h-10h UTC, i.e. 0h-12 CEST).c) Adding a summary of the multiboxing rules, as follows.At times when the game server is busy enough - 10:00 UTC-22:00 UTC (12:00 CEST-00:00 CEST)Multiboxing limited to 2 simultaneous accounts during: • PvP • Bosses Hunts • Marauders bosses assaults • Storyline scripted eventsMultiboxing tolerated at 4 simultaneous accounts for all other activities.At times of low game server traffic - 22:00 UTC-10:00 UTC (00:00 CEST-12:00 CEST)Multiboxing tolerated at 4 simultaneous accounts for all activities except PvP.Do you have any comments or questions?
As many people are absent in July and August, both among the players and the animators, the Storyline events as well as those of nations and factions usually proposed by the Event Team (one per week) are put on pause until September.The summer leaves room for player events, mini-bosses, kitin invasions, atmosphere events… Atys Games should be back during the whole month of August.Any questions?
We are looking for volunteers who want to help write event scripts, or wish to become actors by playing a character during the events we play.Training is provided, and entry into acting is accomplished very progressively to allow time for the recruit to bed in.Join us to benefit from this unique experience!To apply, contact Tamarea exclusively at [i]tamarea@ryzom.com[i].

Regarding new players in Silan - a huge part of why i kept playing more than a week is that at the time there were advanced players there who spent most of their time helping the noobs. I met them almost instantly. It gave me a sense that this was a community. I know many people still help the newcomers in silan, but we should remember to encourage these silan mentors for the work they do to keep people playing. Perhaps even make mentoring an official thing?

Q : Is building the client and server still a pain in the ass or has it become easier ? I know this was a sticking point for some people a few years ago.Especially running an operational ryzomcore server rather than the build itself.Why not provide some basic primitives to have a working ryzomcore ? I'm thinking for example of the old racial start zone.A : The client build is now done via a small script on Windows, the same script will be adapted to Linux.As for the server, the build is also simple, but ... The server build is more complicated, especially since it requires private datas.But ryzomcore provides a complete archive, turnkey to launch a core server.Which in the vast majority of cases will suffice.
Q : Wasn't the rudimentary data available from Silan when the client/server became open source ? Is it still available ?A : It is still available and ryzomcore is adding missing data continuously.

Currently all mobs and equipment items are usable, allowing you to create your own world using both World Editor and the Ring. Player actions and materials are not yet available and still in the works.
