Why I Haven't Subscribed to Ryzom Yet

Geez Dainan mate, with your imagination you need *others* to tell you what to do to have fun? More importantly, is fun what you seek in a video game?

Most people like status quo, nature of the beast. You are a revolutionary and well enough versed in history to know what that means. All you need now is to come to terms with it being aplicable to yourself. One thing I hope is that you do remember what they say about revolution.

For starters, think how old average Ryzom player is? Despite some of your Uni adventures this whole "nice" aura around the game should give you fair clue. Now these people have RL, quite a bit of it probably, at least cumulatively speaking. It might be 12 hour work behind them, 6 hour grandparenting, any number of things, but contrary to majority of developed world population of similar age, they don't sit down in the evening and turn on TV while switching brain off at the same time. You can't however expect everybody to do quantum mechanics as a hobby. So, ideally there would be this wonderful game that had it all, soap operas and Natural Science article debates, Thermopylae and Woodstock, ... blimey, there is, real life. But of course you can play Eve if you really want to stay digital. I'll go on a limb here, using limited knowledge of you, don't. It will eat you.

No game will ever be what you want it to be. Even the one you wrote yourself. Hell, you make a child and spend 20 years developing them and look at what's our future.

So I won't be telling you what and where and when and how, I'll just tell you where fun is for me. Taking something and figuring out where the fun is for me.
