LOL classic Jay!

I know I haven't played in a long while but this still breaks my heart as badly as it was broken when I left. I can make a toon that looks just like Eris and I can work my pigtails off getting my 3 masters back but I'll  never get back the items that were gifts from long gone players. It's not the forcing the vets to start over, it's the fact that every homin that's walked across Atys will be wiped clean from it. That's what makes me the saddest.

::imagines 3 servers-worth of players competing for PR-dug Sup mats::


Yup, obviously, 2/3rds of those players must go away to keep PR digging viable.


Mission: accomplished

I couldn't be more upset by this stupidity. I JUST SUBBED! Was brought in by the community and fellowship of my guild and guildmates. Felt like family, looked forward to seeing them all, and having some fun together. I am not a master in anything, but was planning to be. Now you do this crap.

Utterly irresponsible. I want my sub fee back. If you'll do this once, you'll do it again later. How will we ever trust you again. Shame on you.

Some of these fine folks have played this for years, become established icons in the game. And you just spit in their faces and say it couldn't be helped.

I want my sub fee back.

After all the crying and whining i think this will be best for the game. A wipe will provide an opportunity to play the game again :) and re-experience the challenges of rebuilding civilization. I i will resub my accounts.

LMAO This is hilarious. I'm so mad, that I just have to laugh at how stupid this is. Also Frappi, You are my hero, that post me laugh so hard I think I ran off the rails of the imperial fleet in swtor.

Anyway, on a sad note, Good bye Liliang, You will never be forgotten.

Good Bye Ryzom, My only regret is that they aren't going to just put you down like old yeller, You are going to suffer, slowly and painfully.

Smoke em' if ya got em Atys. o7

Well I was thinking of popping back into the game to say Hi to everyone that I have missed over the last year. But I see that wont happen or might not if they really go through with this. I too will miss all the time I spent working my various skills to where they are. This is a sad day for Ryzom.

If they do. Those that remember me you can all find me on Horde Drak'thul in WoW. Usually on as Darkefyre.

(I miss you all still)

Or if you dont want to chat me up in WoW, let me know and ill get my email out to you.

Any chance of the Devs making a Uni channel for each language? Or do we really have to put up with the clusterf*** of a Babylonian mishmosh of languages scrolling wildly across my screen?

Would appreciate a means of seeing text I can comprehend, and not a 80% uninterpretable chat window. :)



Get on it, Devs! Thank ya,

Still no Klingon

Hu'tegh

So sad but i guess the end has come, I will not be resubbing and rebuilding another character. Our identitys will be erased, very sad. Maybe someone else will get our names first, we may not know how to contact our friends and relationships we have made. Thats what kept us all together was our tight knit communitys, you cannot bring this back after you erase they paying players, you will be left with f2p. RIP Misatey it was a fun 8 years.

I will miss you Misa.. if you ever do feel like popping in.. i will be starting a guild.... "Remnants of Aris"

Misa makes a very good point. How are we to find each other on the new server unless we have unique names. If there are two Aeralins, who is to know what I might end up with as a different name. Those who know me as Aeralin will look to the other person in an attempt to find me, and won't be able to locate me. It seems the whole system is inherently flawed. I can only hope that there isn't another me floating around in Atys somewhere and that I'll get my name again.

I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand I'll hate the loss of my titles, rare/unique items, the hours of work I put in developing my toons, the loss of my posessions (i'm a packrat).

On the other hand, my early days in Ryzom were great and I have fond memories about those times. I wouldn't object to repeating the experience. I'm not actively playing right now but I may resub because of this.

However there is a make it or break it issue - keeping the names of my toons. If, for any reason, I won't be able to get back the names of my favorite toons I'm not going to even try to play Ryzom again.

How many of those fond memories have you being mentored, or a group of you and your friends being escorted on a trek. As I pointed out in another thread [color=#6fd02e]http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/?page=topic/view/13 988/2#2[/color], a lot of us know a lot of stuff in our flesh and blood brains.  The thrill of discovery will not be there.

You should have let the players buy this game out of receivership. You are a disgrace to the single most revolutionary game made in modern times since the inception of 3D MMOs. I once thought you were better than Sony but I agree with previous comments in reference to SWG. Both Ryzom and SWG were something new and great. Now our last hope of a not so copy paste game is twitching in death throws with you holding the noose.

Why not have a central login server only and allow for player (opendev) servers to host the actual game.
or have a login server and assets server with all other code/servers player hosted.
Allow for custom work, open source more of the world. Obtain the rights if you don't have already, to opensource the main Server's full assets and world design.

You have a following that includes many creative and dedicated minds regardless of the new games out there.
In a time where 2 major titles have been released and the big dog on the block (WoW) has released new expansions you are killing this game by this rash move.

Think of OTHER ways to make capitol off this while freeing it up a little bit. there are options out there.
This game will die for good if this is the reward you offer for years of dedication to the game. Remember people are loyal to the GAME not WG. You borrowed our loyalty off the backs of the work created by Nevrax.

Look at many other old games that have emulators. The emulators outlive the official servers in many. Heck they become a threat to the official server due to a few simple facts. People are BROKE but still want entertainment, People like the ability to create the environment if they choose, And some people like to host servers with new rules or lack of rules for the expanded entertainment of their peers.

Drop the greed and slow down the milking this thing for every last dieing dollar/Euro.
You can make something work while still holding onto the rights of control over the game itself and opening it up for others to "play with" the deeper aspects of the game.
