Hello, Deles Silam, Kamia'ata, Lordoy, oren pyr,
The end of the year is approaching, along with its decorative trees, its festive meals and Santa Claus, who is so generous with gifts.
On Atys too it's time for celebrations: Atysmas Elves are at work, presents keep piling up, Christmas trees and Atysmas snowhomins are flooding over Atys... And surprises will soon be here.
Aside from festivities, Ryzom teams continue their work in the shadows, bringing the following news:
Others events will occur during the holydays, between December 27th and 31st. Follow the calendar and the forum for more information!
The rewards vary depending of the needs of materials needed for maintenance: dappers, civilization fame, civilization points. Warning: transporters will only pay for goods if they feel they need them!
The national transport system is free as long as your fame with the civilization is 45 or higher.
The Ryzom Team wishes you a good game on Atys, a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Developer News

- Marauder gameplay is back: Marauders can again use their camp, rite NPC, sap crystal traders, trainers, guild halls, apartments and teleporters. Adjustments have been made on crystals: each crystal will consume charges according to area level (1 charge in a level 50 area, 6 in a 250 area and 10 in the Prime Roots).
- Fame and event titles should be back before Christmas.
- Almati Wood access will soon be available, including for marauders. Access will be provided from capitals and the marauder camp, and return from a point close to the Ranger camp.
- Apartment items won before server merge have been saved, they will be restored and given back to their owners as soon as Rybambel is back. Apartment items remain linked to accounts and will be available to the character of your choice.
WebIG
Event calendars from all three communities will be merged in order to allow a quick view of all events.Server patch of 18 December, 2012
This patch implemented the following fixes :- Tryker and zorai tools bricks have been fixed.
- Success rate for tool making is now 100% (however medium and heavy armor still add a penalty). There are no unexpected failures anymore.
- Some marauder camp guards protect players from predators.

- Marauder camp traders now sell items above q250.
- Access terminal to old apartments in Zora have been fixed.
- Access teminals to old Fairhaven apartments have been moved to prevent exit into water.
- Players who happen to have mis-activated an apartment or guild hall access terminal will be able to choose their town again. Players who wish to stay will keep their current access.
Known issues
- Anti-Marauders guards of capitals have become too tolerant, they only attack players with fame of -50 or lower instead of -40.
- Font Characters Rendering is different since last patch. Tests are ongoing to understand why and try to fix this.
- Characters who completed an encyclopedia rite before merge can't obtain the reward anymore.
- Program icon on Windows has changed.
Bug corrected after next client patch
- A display bug appears while buying some stanzas at trainers: A warning message saying that buying this appartment will destroy the older one and all what's inside.
Miscellanous
Some players asked us if it would be possible to deactivate catalysers with paid account. The answer is no, as it is a double experience, and not permanent catalysers. The icon is just a visual help reminding the player of that double experience.News from animation team
Atysmas
A storytelling evening will take place on December 23rd at the Atysmas camp. Storytellers and poets, this is for you!Others events will occur during the holydays, between December 27th and 31st. Follow the calendar and the forum for more information!
Resumption of nation events

- Town and capital assemblies will take place every 18 days, alternating 2 town assemblies and 1 capital assembly.
- Town assemblies from each of the 3 communities will in general be at the same time, in parallel.
National transporters
The guild "To New Horizons" offers to transport homins from a town a another town in the same country. This transport system is very different from the ones of the Higher Powers: it wears out when homins use it. If it becomes too worn out in a region, it won't work properly. To avoid it, homins can participate in the maintenance, by bringing some occupation products to transporters: flowers, water, maps and tools. In exchange, they receive recognition and money.The rewards vary depending of the needs of materials needed for maintenance: dappers, civilization fame, civilization points. Warning: transporters will only pay for goods if they feel they need them!
The national transport system is free as long as your fame with the civilization is 45 or higher.
