Hi, and welcome to Atys.
Actually, you have experienced the temporary reduction in stats but the stats that are reduced are the derived stats of Hp, sap, stamina and focus, not the base ones of Str, cons, etc. If you were lying on the ground having been chewed by raguses, you could have been resurrected by a passing homin with a good enough healing spell. Unconscious... not so much. The "dead" are a pretty talkative lot around here.
The Ring... we don't know when it will be back. When it was live it was largely under-used except by a few talented people who made some really nice things with it. The limitation, of course, is that it doesn't give xp or items that can be brought back.
There is no way to reset skill points, but there is also no need to. It is effectively impossible to nerf your toon. There are always more skill points that can be earned, and when you get to high level you will end up with truly amazing amounts of unused SP. The usual recommendation is that you build your base stats and basic actions as high priority and add frills as you get to higher levels. But if you accidentally buy "bleeding" for instance (only really useful at high levels and in teams), it doesn't matter that much. Just dig/hunt/craft or cast for a few more levels and get what you wanted. The hardest skills to advance are crafting and digging, but even there less than optimal choices will only slow you down a bit, not cripple you.
-- I hope you enjoy a long stay with us.
P.S., if you are lvl 30-40 in all skills you should definitely leave Silan and come to the mainland!
