Why I Haven't Subscribed to Ryzom Yet - English

Nakari

Sywindt
FYI, the current Arispotle policy on universe chat is:
Universe chat is for Ryzom Q and A.

However, some chit-chat is allowed, provided it is Ryzom related, relevant and in English, does not degenerate into a monologue or is dominated by a small group of people. Also, when a player asks for help, unrelated chit-chat may not interfere with any answers, or 'drown out' the question.

I have screen shots show a straight hour where *you* chatted non-stop with two or three others in Uni during this time.

Of course, no one asks questions in Uni any more because it's become nothing more than the chatter box for a few and the chatter doesn't drown out the questions, it has simply killed them altogether.

Amazing! I must not have answered any questions today, then, though I could have SWORN I did. However, you must know much more than I about it, even though I was present for typing out the answers to these questions that have apparently died off as a result of yours truly. (Never knew I had such power! I should find a way to monetize that.)

Including assisting another player with a quest. Who requested the help on - you guessed it - the Universal channel in between fits of chat.

If you don't like it, fine. But it's not the place of a regular player to give another player orders. I believe those problems should be forwarded to the CSR staff, if I'm not mistaken, and THEY handle the issuing of orders. Those ARE the rules, are they not?

You can TRY to tell me to shut up. I don't know where you're from, but here in America people do that to other people all the time. We just don't listen to 'em unless they have a badge. ;-) So, don't be surprised if I just laugh it off and keep being me.

File a complaint if you want. Ignore me if you like. I'm truly unconcerned about it until a CSR is. But there is a certain entertainment in watching a small handful of people become so hand-wringingly upset about it. Imagine if we were all like that about, say, getting cancer cured. Probably have it done by now.

Anyway, do what you like. I'll continue to be me until an individual with the authority to tell me not to be does so. And then I'll probably just find another game or go back to the one I was playing. There's no graphics, but there's also none of this nonsense either. Gotta take the good with the bad, I guess.

Thanks for your comments. :-)

(Interestingly enough, the CSR you quote is one of the more animated - and, dare I say, fun - individuals that chats on Universal. Sywindt was one of the specific CSRs I had in mind when giving the staff overall such a high score JUST BECAUSE of his ability to balance chat with helpful answers. Irony, eh? Good stuff.)
