perhaps ur right that every f2p player is upset, don't we have a right, ryzom was (and is) the BEST free 2 play game out there, the level cap and not being able to have everything that the subbed players have is a fair trade off in my book for the ability to play for free, and like i said in the original post here, i wanted to play to a high level prior to subbing, giving me time to build up my char as a restricted player lacking some of the bonuses of a paying player, until said time when i would have been forced to pay to advance beyond, i've NEVER played WoW or any other MMO because one of two things, you have to 1, buy the game at the store, and 2 pay every month to play it, Ryzom was free to get (if you dl it) and that was the first thing that got my intrest, after that i read up and found that you could also play for free with a few restrictions, a fair trade to paying in my book, and as for you saying that i never planed on paying, on that note your wrong, my plan was to try to play to the cap for free, then pay to go beyond, if WoW or any other MMO would let you do that, i would be more then happy to invest hours in them, but they won't and don't, that being said, I still feel that Ryzom was and is a far better game. on another note about my lack of supporting the game, i've NEVER left the "sandbox" (never went to the main land) and once i had completed all the missions there i stayed and helped other new players get started, helped them with missions and questions, guided them through the game and towards their goals of completing the "training" part of the game, how many of you saying i never planed on paying have a toon that's getting 40 or 50 xp for killing anything, crafting anything, harvesting anything, and still playing that one toon ONLY on the starter island? on a side note, the biggest thing Ryzom does that got my attention is it's open source, something i think makes it stand out from EVERY OTHER MMO. further more even if you are a paying player, you too will loose all your items and dappers in the merge, so i feel that you are being punished for your hard work AND being done wrong even though you have paid, i just don't see why anything has to be done to the inventory you have or the dappers you have earned. this plan that is being carried out makes me worry that if i did pay all this time i would be loosing everything i paid for, i'm hurt to loose what i've earned, you as a paying player should be flat out pi$$ed to loose all your stuff. regardless, i'm going to stick around and see what happenes after everything is said and done, perhaps i'll continue to play (for free) but now i will forever have a major doubt about ever paying because what's to stop them from doing this all over again in the future.
