It has come to my notice that "in the future" marauder homins will not be allowed in any guild which is not a maurauder guild
That affects GoS and Monks - as far as I know no one else
Is this because the "developers" want GoS to leave the game?
The marauders in GoS make no trouble - they come on - play, chat, sit at stables - we are not a strong role-play group and see no reason why we should be forced into any action that does not affect anyone else but us
I find the move vindictive - no good giving me role play reasons for it - I am not interested - who is is hurting in game if we stay as we are?
From a guildie:
There is already a game mechanic for grouping characters by faction, it's called FACTION. There is no reason that guilds can't be multi faction. Especially when developers have not finished adding all the factions that are in the game/lore.
Guilds SHOULD be a way for players (no matter what faction) to join together for WHATEVER common reason. The current mechanic of only Kami in Kami guilds is pointless. Kami are Kami, and they do NOT need to further be defined as Kami because of their guild. It's a redundant game mechanic that is breaking the game.
If you want to turn this game into nothing but role playing with no originality or flexibility, then you are going to eliminate a HUGE part of your player base that does NOT role play and even more role players that do not want to be confined to "following the rules".
Also if you want to say mara can only be in mara guilds - fine, do it, then you also need to say that rangers can only be in ranger guilds, and neutrals can only be in neutral guilds. If you are going to use that type of thinking then you need to apply it to ALL factions not just one or 2.
From another guildie:
For me it's about them doing all they can to make it so that we can't be friends anymore.
I've been in guild with some lovely ppl for 6+years, a lot of those years I had -50 fame and lower in all. Never was I accused or told not to do it.
If they now all of a sudden it is forbidden - this is then personal fo me and it is them telling me I can't be guilded with these fabulous ppl for some stupid rp reason. (pls check the ppl, we don't like this rp anyway so stop forcing it down our throats)
I have no idea how more sad and retarted event team can go but this is just sad in end I hope it brings them a lot of new subs since I'll be called Subunsubbed and just login on a f2p when they do it.
RYZOM - we hate ppl having fun with friends
And another guildie:
Ryzom used to be about the players actually forming the world, letting them influence what happens, not dictating to them what to do.
Ryzom doesn't have mandatory missions, it is a real sandbox game, where you have to find purpose for yourself, not follow NPC orders all the time. In Ryzom you can choose your skills, even develop your own stanzas, you are not bound by race or "class".
Recently the development of Ryzom also follows an open source model.
Clearly, Ryzom is driven by the creativity and enthausiams of the players, not by some central authority.
The new "rule" that we are talking about, is clearly not inspired by the needs of the players, who just want to have fun, and it is not in line with the open and flexible basis of the game.
In addition:
I would not even dare to call GoS a guild anymore we might be small in the grand scheme of things but we are more of a faction then a guild but then again we are a faction the way we want.
We have our own language that we use in guild
refugee=boob
digging=cuddling
wood=octopus
wood node=sex on the beach
...
(yes ours isn't as intricate as the languages of the other races and factions but we still got our own dictionary and language)
We accept ppl from all races and faction (game does not allow kara and such sadly enough, which is racism by the devs) but we like to think we are a faction of homins at the border of society. We do not judge a choice or influence ppl to make a choice. The choice is up to the homin and not the ppl around them.
LET'S GO FOR NO RACISM IN RYZOM
Open guilds up to all if they want, rpers would not want kami in their kara guild and they would be free to say so (but sounds discriminating); non rp guilds could go for the whole package and instead of having RP rules make a real friendly community like I know all of you want in the real world.
Show that a game community can be more then a place of grinding, show instead it can evolve into a community where homins for every race and religion are accepted like a real multi-cultural place
Finally from our Guild leader:
I have a dream that one day this world will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all homin are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the hills of Fairhaven the sons of former homins left behind and the sons of former homins that were lucky enough to be rescued will be able to sit down together at a campfire of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the Matis, a state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my 64 little guildies will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin or the religion they follow but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
