I don't know how many are aware but this October Ryzom is in for a promising (God willing) patch. The freemium update will also add the ARK, which is a tool similar to the Ryzom Ring that players will be able to use. New players may not know about the Ring and what it can do, but old players (especially those that love to tell stories and roleplay) will remember that it can bring plausible new content to the game. I'm very excited about it.
