Come back Nikopol, come back! :D
Server hosting for scenarios without having to be logged in would be awesome.
Since Ryzom is an open source, can a player provide a server for the ring? And can a feed be charged for hosting scenarios - nothing too extravagant but say 4$ to help support with server cost, or requesting a donation for the very purpose - is it allowed?
Additional ideas to help support a server for the ring is selling content packs (has been suggested before). I happen to agree, I see nothing wrong with adding a store for ring content only, as long as it has nothing to do with buying catalizers or other in-world content that would ruined how we play Ryzom now. So in other words the Ring would have a store but the game doesn't.
I don't want to derail the topic but the question is somewhat related: aren't Devs allowed access to the Ryzom code, what is the purpose of having access to the Ryzom code, and Is it to create new worlds, to add new content to the game?
I'm not a Dev I know nothing about 3++ or whatever the game language is. However, the ring is a great tool I can use and understand, and it can be used to add new content to the game. Granted not all ring scenarios would make ideal game expansions, but a voting tool could be created to help select the few worthy scenarios, or have a steady flow of ring contests for the purpose of adding the winning scenario as a new explorable world with server hosting.
The main goal here is to expand on the ring idea and make it more rewarding for the AM and the players. It is really sad to look at the ring NPC window and see it empty on all shards. Especially when Ryzom was the first MMO to give this power to the players, a featured that has been copied by other MMO's, I think is time we brainstorm to improve the Rz for our own game.
