This "Compromise" is not a compromise. This is what WG most likely intended to to do all along. But they knew if they announced a merge where people kept levels but not items the majority of you carebears would be up in arms and protests.

So what does WG do instead> Announce a merge with a total wipe and the when the protests occurs they announce what they were going to do all along and you whiners think it a great plan and they some how got WG to compromise.

Well played WG, well played. I can't believe so many silly homins fell for it.

Agreed. Although I think they would had wiped if they could had gotten away with it. The genius part though is now they are making money. How? People are subbing their alts.

I want to sub my alt as well but im not sure if I have the stomach for this company anymore.

I left my previous MMO and came to Ryzom because I could no longer stand the corruption of Gameloft. Now the same is happening again. This one seems worse though as this time they are feeding off the loyalty of others.

Was thinking that too, just to save his lvl's then stop paying 1 month later...

You cant because once the sub runs out on an account the account gets locked out. So once you sub you trap the account into a payed account forever.

Isnt it amazing how a few days of rants fixed those "technical issues" they were having? Like magic. :)

I wonder if there will be more Marauders after the reset. Im definately leaning that direction.

If you really wanna see ripoff, try LOTRO for example...

Owned by WB (in NO WAY short on cash), yet they got a pay to win, more bugs than this, lag issues that make Ryzom lag "a much needed relief" (no sarcasm), $40-70 expansions (with "best" package being basically a ripoff to catch fluff lovers off guard in the pre-purhase hype), costs same a month as here, $20 horses... and some bait n' switch sales tactics you wouldn't believe.

If this in fact was a devious plan to get people to sub, honestly a struggling company has my "go ahead" to pull this kind of stunt. $15 to keep like 4 months of skills (yes i'm kinda new... ) is worth it, if I can't play much as has been the case lately i can unsub and hop back in later... If luck gives me good playing time, got my skills ready and a new character which'll make a handy pure healer. Maybe give back to my guild a bit?

Just be thankful that Ryzom lives.. the bigtime commercial MMO market lately is %"$#!$% and moneygrabbing, REALLY hard to find a pure subscription game these days. And listen to customers? HAAAH

I'd rather have this game lean on me for the extra cash and see it not only continue but get some upgrading in the future. Cash is cash, I don't see any complainers offering $10k to maintain the current status quo... and I ain't got 'em ... $15 I do.

Anyhoo my 2 cents.

With a few reservations, specifically the chance for stratifiction due to an xp incentive (not to mention initial strategies and their motivations), one can say that most of the major demands for P2P have been met. Though in terms of population, F2P players still remain without an option to retain lvls. Since population is the reason we are merging in the first place, the new server may be suprisingly sparse without us.

Assuming it isn't lame, I suppose we should treat the outpost battle as the final one leading to our withdrawal to Silan; however, one had hoped for a more server-wide wave of kitins, with less dev/csr/gm involvement.

P.S. Since ML was always paid content, perhaps returning Silan back to its F2P roots might not be a bad idea also? Level retention++

I dont understand why all paying customers do not get premium packages by default even IF they decide to keep their levels. We keep you in business. I feel like im taking crazy pills.

The point of this is to reset all gear. Why would they then give everyone special gear just because they're paying? The point of the premium package is to give incentive for people to start from a full wipe (which is what they wanted everyone to do.)

Also, people work very hard for this special gear, and giving it away to every paying account would decrease the rarity and be kind of a slap in the face to those who've completed the content to earn the rewards.

the whole thing has been a slap in the face. giving something that has no actual value to your loyal customers to make them happy seems perfectly reasonable to me.

why are they trying so desperately to get me to zap all my work? crippling me is better for them? huh?? time for my pills i suppose.

I gues ppl will never be happy, I myself am rolling a new char after the wipe not because of the gear but wanna do somethings over and now is the best time for it anyway.
If they gave everyone the premium pack then ppl rerolling woud have been asking for the super premium pack and so on.

Well premium package gives 1m dappers..so it makes 5m per paid account if they give it to all paid account without doing anything...With their way of doing u might have only 1 premium package per account so economy doesnt exploit again?

(or may be im wrong lol)

Well this is certainly an improvement, now I have to decide whether to renew my sub and save my levels....

Found the "f2p keep the game alive" argument hysterical, yeah right, someone who is taking up system resources and not paying a penny for it is helping no end... duh !

f2p accounts have no more right to be maintained than my unsubbed p2p account, if you want rights, stick your hands in your pockets, otherwise, get over it cos you're just sponging

Yes -- you are wrong. It clearly says only one toon per paid account can do the "Reckless" designation.
