OFFICIAL NEWS

I will miss you Misa.. if you ever do feel like popping in.. i will be starting a guild.... "Remnants of Aris"

Misa makes a very good point. How are we to find each other on the new server unless we have unique names. If there are two Aeralins, who is to know what I might end up with as a different name. Those who know me as Aeralin will look to the other person in an attempt to find me, and won't be able to locate me. It seems the whole system is inherently flawed. I can only hope that there isn't another me floating around in Atys somewhere and that I'll get my name again.

I have mixed feeling about this. On one hand I'll hate the loss of my titles, rare/unique items, the hours of work I put in developing my toons, the loss of my posessions (i'm a packrat).

On the other hand, my early days in Ryzom were great and I have fond memories about those times. I wouldn't object to repeating the experience. I'm not actively playing right now but I may resub because of this.

However there is a make it or break it issue - keeping the names of my toons. If, for any reason, I won't be able to get back the names of my favorite toons I'm not going to even try to play Ryzom again.

How many of those fond memories have you being mentored, or a group of you and your friends being escorted on a trek. As I pointed out in another thread [color=#6fd02e]http://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/?page=topic/view/13 988/2#2[/color], a lot of us know a lot of stuff in our flesh and blood brains.  The thrill of discovery will not be there.

You should have let the players buy this game out of receivership. You are a disgrace to the single most revolutionary game made in modern times since the inception of 3D MMOs. I once thought you were better than Sony but I agree with previous comments in reference to SWG. Both Ryzom and SWG were something new and great. Now our last hope of a not so copy paste game is twitching in death throws with you holding the noose.

Why not have a central login server only and allow for player (opendev) servers to host the actual game.
or have a login server and assets server with all other code/servers player hosted.
Allow for custom work, open source more of the world. Obtain the rights if you don't have already, to opensource the main Server's full assets and world design.

You have a following that includes many creative and dedicated minds regardless of the new games out there.
In a time where 2 major titles have been released and the big dog on the block (WoW) has released new expansions you are killing this game by this rash move.

Think of OTHER ways to make capitol off this while freeing it up a little bit. there are options out there.
This game will die for good if this is the reward you offer for years of dedication to the game. Remember people are loyal to the GAME not WG. You borrowed our loyalty off the backs of the work created by Nevrax.

Look at many other old games that have emulators. The emulators outlive the official servers in many. Heck they become a threat to the official server due to a few simple facts. People are BROKE but still want entertainment, People like the ability to create the environment if they choose, And some people like to host servers with new rules or lack of rules for the expanded entertainment of their peers.

Drop the greed and slow down the milking this thing for every last dieing dollar/Euro.
You can make something work while still holding onto the rights of control over the game itself and opening it up for others to "play with" the deeper aspects of the game.

See I knew the marauders were behind this reset.

I think Yberkan was behind the reset. It was always flying around with that party hat on like it was getting ready for some big prank...

I feel it's a good idea of resetting all my characters, to start a new beginning for all of us.

I think "New Achievement system" would be nice to look forward to.

That is an important point, invalidating all ideas of equal chances during new beginning. While many won't come back, still the majority of new beginners on Silan will be old players. They are like babies thinking about sex and real estate investment while shitting in the pants, freaks overshadowing the minority of real beginners, possibly driving them away.

I remember quite well my first steps on Silan, how proud I was about discoveries, fights with dangerous creatures, all that. Later, building a new toon until she was ready for the mainland was a matter of an afternoon when carefully doing all missions.

I doubt it will be a bright future what we are facing now. But let's see.

And your point is...? To each its own, I'm an achiever not an explorer. I thrieve in the challenge, not in gaining knowledge - most of whatever there is to know is in my brain. Okay, I don't remember anymore how many fireflies are flying around streetlamps but I can certainly trek myself to anywhere at lvl 10.

For the record, 80% of what I know about Ryzom I discovered by myself and I enjoyed every second of it.

Hey at least you will have the knowledge of how you gained all that DP, now you will be able to do it faster!!

Dont forget about the CTO:

This guy has a lot of influence especially over the one thing that could SAVE this game which is:

Making it _all_ Open Source

Give me the Ari data and ill host it on a server in my Colo for free.
