(OOC) Main Post: http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/18178/1# 1
(OOC) Summary of my understanding of the event: Zorai are going to Fyrosian lands (Pyr?) via convoy in order to aid the Fyros, who had previously came to the aid of the Zorai via similar means. There is a call to all Zorai and allies to meet at the Zora Stables in order to escort this convoy.
(OOC) Summary of the implications I have seen: Back in the Fyrosian to convoy to Zorai lands, there were actual mats in play. According to all sources I've heard from and read of, NPC guards got actual weapons from the supposed use of the mats. According to some sources, players did too- according to others, players did not. According to most sources, the mat's actual usage has not been traced.
(OOC) Synthesis of all information I can gleam: There are many, many players who would love to RP, but don't because they don't see the game mechanics and/or game-play reasons to do so. To them, if it doesn't affect the actual game, then there are other things they could be doing in game that do affect game that are a better usage of their time.
(OOC) Support for these players is needed: Given the community of Ryzom, we need all the RPers we can get. We cannot afford to be picky in getting them, and we need to spend time with them teaching them proper RP skills and getting them actually involved. If they need an in-game incentive at the start- or even for ever- that's ok. We just need more active RPers.
(OOC) Systematic proposal of a gameplan:
1) Contact Events Team- I am willing to do this, and will get on it immediately. This is needed just to see all the possibilities, really.
2) Plan Supports- Depending upon Events Team's response, we may need players to help get mats, get loot, or do any number of things- it all depends, but I will get back to you on this.
3) Act on the Supports- Make s*** happen guys! We need to actually implement these supports and revitalize the RP in Ryzom. One idea, which I have some support already able to be used to implement, is to have use the mats we get while on the trek (because with any large trek, we'll be getting aggro) to actually craft items for players. This could turn IC too- we could play it off as salvage, or as any number of things.
I hope that this post is well-received. It's my first post on forums, and it definitely won't be my last.
Sincerely,
Luciel.
