Now that everyone is using their character age as an argument... I'm here since 2004 and have seen a lot of ups and downs both in RP as well as regarding Ryzom as a game and the company behind it.
I'm not and have never been a very active RPer but I participated in lots of events and other RP ocassions over the time up to now and even I am seeing the need to merge the histories.
Some things are easy to megre others will be very hard though:
Smaller events with little impact could just have been overlooked by those from the other servers (as they were by other players on the same servers as well in some cases) so they could be mashed together nearly blind.
Some big events like the temple wars can be merged with a little bit of effort (foundation already laid in this case as none of the temples survived the 2nd swarm) so we have all been hard at work, Kami- and Karavan-followers fighting each others and lots of homins disappearing from Atys.
Some Big events will need a lot of discussion though and I have faith that the event team will find a viable solution for this (eg. the nearly or full scale war between Matis and Fyros) though some recent events lead me to the conclusion that the internal communication inside the event team needs to be improved as well.
Finally some small advice that everyone could take to heart:
- Try to avoid names that were only used on one of the servers eg. instead of "TENNANT" (Aniro) use "our previous contract"
- Results that were only part of only one server could be described in another way eg. instead of "The Kami managed to get 3 sanctuaries and the Karavan only 1 temple" (Leanon) use "the Kami gave the Karavan a hard time" or "the Kami had the upper hand during the temple wars" (the final result was 2+2 on the other servers but close to nobody remembers how hard it was for each side in reality so even if the kmai had the upper hand the karavan might have been able to use their finesse to get at the materials as well and still get enough mats for their temples)
(note: I avoided topics where I'm not sure what happened on other servers)
Here a few big events that happened on all servers:
- Kami/Karavan War in Nexus (champion titles for participants)
- Kitin Invasion that lead to opening the portal Fyros <-> Zorai
- Assassination of Still Wyler during the signing of the contract basically removing the government influence on the outposts making them a guild-only matter
