so 2x xp after 125 would be something you'd be in favor of?

think my main issue is with the newbies learning to PL themselves rather than learning how to actually play the game well, and subsequently enjoy it

newbies meaning even those brand new to mmo's

No, I always want 2x XP, 125 or not. But I want it only for P2P. Why are you concerned about PLing? Its the nature of MMOs. This is an MMO that is almost 100% grind. PLing is a must. I do not believe the beauty of Ryzom is in the leveling. The leveling is horrible. No thought or design what so ever. The beauty is in many other things. For me getting masters was a means. Not an end.

have not found any of my experiences with playing as "horrible", other than abusive players...

don't really focus on leveling so much since I'm not in a hurry to match someone else...

suprisingly, i either meet or go beyond my goals in the normal progress of the game--esp. when I get really involved with one aspect or another.

edit: just to clarify, have met very few mean ppl on atys

I heard from an old friend about a full server wipe and merge, I thought that could be fun.. a fresh start!

Bah!

after reading that not all players will be reset.. I think I will give this a miss, shame as it sounded very promising.

Things are still going to be quite shaken up. Why not give it a try after the merge?

try General --> Server Poll for that one

We have just been chatting, and we all come to the same conclusion... It will be exactly the same, old ryzom.. just with extra people on there.
With a full wipe it will bring challenges, power rushes, a new outlook and new adventure.

With this (so called) wipe it will just mean more people stood around the stables, looking pretty.

Come on WG give us something to work for!!

go ahead, go the reckless route. no one is stopping you.
I for one am glad I can keep the lvls I have been working on for the last six months. A full wipe will only be nice for the bored few that have seen it all before AND have the time to do it all again; a very small minority.

theres a poll in general where you can actually vote instead of so much back and forth over the same issue--albeit a very important one

I'm sorry but the only thing a full wipe would do is result in Ryzom almost certainly closing 6-12 months down the road. There would be a massive amount of ragequitting and the new players attracted by the idea of a fresh start would not be enough to offset the effects of losing the majority of the existing, proven-loyal playerbase. Dumping an existing playerbase in favor of a potential new playerbase that may or may not turn out to be viable is exactly the kind of thinking that drove Star Wars Galaxies' "New Game Enhancements", and the only reasons that game survived that disastrous course change was 1) the fact it was owned by Sony Online Entertainment, a large company with extensive resources and 2) the Star Wars IP. Even then, SWG only survived in a relatively limping manner, its population dwindling steadily over the years that followed the initial sharp drop, until it closed six years after the NGE.

In the beginning of this transition i thought the 2x exp on subbed compared to f2p was one of the worst change. But now i think about it differently:

On Silan, 2x Exp simply does no good. Doing the Missions will get everyone to the levels they need (20 or 25).
Up to 50 on ML 2x Exp is handed out as mission reward (~5 stacks of Q50 cats).
Up to 80 on ML grinding still is very easy and quickly done.
After 80 a soft cap comes into place, slowing down progression gradually until it hits the hard cap at 125.

You can still do occupations and make some cats on your own, exploring another nice feature of ryzom as a side effect and getting plenty of consumables that help in grinding too. F2P players can also do some civ faction runs to get additional cats (and sap crystals).

For the new beginning: I think there will be some kind of a new beginning anyways. Players that keep their levels will be most interested in getting their own gear again and not sit at stables destroying the market for low-level equipment from young crafters.

F2P + Recless toons will be quite a lot of low-lvl players who start at once, not being bothered by high-level players (see above). As progression is different for different players the low-level player base will continue to be large for quite some time (maybe a year). During that year newbies will get a lot of people to play with and hopefully being low-lvl will be so much fun to draw more and more new players into playing ryzom.

During the Q&A session yesterday, we were told that there would be no cats from any sources, not just OPs. This was from the Event Guide; so, he may have it wrong as the post only indicates OPs don't produce cats...will be interesting to see how that plays out.

On another note, I noticed on our profile page before it said: this chapter has not won any starter package. Well now they added (this does not include any packs given for subscribed accounts)
