Tumbleweed, i agree with you we need more 'Real' content to be added first rather than apartment fixtures, yubo stripes, city flags, etc.
Before the team worked so hard on Steam, they were working on making Blender usefull for creating graphical items for the game, later, players will be able to add their creations to the game, making it truely more sandbox in that respect, or open source with graphical contributions. There is a web page posted in forums and/or the Wiki for graphical needs requested. With more graphics, you can have more different types of events or scenarios happening on Atys.
Not sure what you mean by 'interaction with other players,' unless you mean more events. I agree on more events! Ryzom forge has requested for more volunteers on the Event team because their team is very small and need help desparately.
The places you mentioned where there is nothing happening, you might add Nexus too. That region is useless in my opinion. I think it would be a good region for maybe a marauder city, or one that is conquerable. Then the region would make supreme mats according to the wishes of the owner or something like that, (Just an idea).
The Idea of a new zone, is far off. That is why i suggested this idea of an interm solution of areas made by players. Although i just got a taste of the Ring a long time ago, it seemed limited and small to me, however, if redesigned, I think it could be real fun if done right. If most players wish other things to be finished first, then i can go along with that. That is why I made this post, to get everyones feelings on it. Also, I know they are working on ARC so it will be more useable for players, and easy I hope. That way, players can 'Add' to the game, like events and so on. This needs to be done before anything with Pocket worlds or the Ring, or anything gets done. That way it will be really a 'Sandbox' game too. It doesn't have to be the Ring.
You will be happy to know too, Also before they were working on Steam, the Devs were working on at least 3 new Encylopedia rites, maybe more. A Matis one, a Fyros one, and they were having bugs or problems with the Zora one, but are going to work on it and fix it. But, it all got put on hold for Steam. They are supposed to be 'different' kinds of missions/rites than the players are used to, so we will see. I hope they are finished soon. :D
