IDEAS FOR RYZOM

This is an unnecessary insult, seems to my eyes Rangers appear to be a group to be avoided, there are 2 (out of 10?) who go the extra mile to lash out at others

Where?? Let me read this!

I want to make some remarks about my access to the site megacorp.io before the event.

1. I did not know anything about the nexus between the site megacorp.io and the event The Night of the Stars prior to doing the mission and synchronizing. I have never been appointed for testing the site megacorp.io and did not expect anything from.

2. One week ago, Monday, March 17, a posting appeared in the three General forums, as a teaser to the site megacorp.io and a project related to. I read that, and looked a bit around in the internet, finding out that this DNS name existed, and pointed to an address in the name space of OVH SAS in Roubaix, France, the provider of ryzom.com servers. As I was busy with Ranger meeting, combat training, and RL, I did not try to access the site prior to Tuesday, March 18.

When accessing the site, I tried to log on as Daomei with my Ryzom password (a not too extravagant idea on a "LV-20 Ryzom Network"), and succeeded. I looked a bit around, finding out that uni chat was displayed in the chat area (iirc there was no possibility at that time to enter text, or I did not see it). Further on, language could be switched in the profile area, and there were locked documents. That was all, and I was busy, so I left, not accessing the site again before the event. That afternoon, a few players who had visited the site as well, chatted calmly a bit about, thinking about as a future web chat interface. I expressed bit roleplay oriented concern about the Megacorp thing (which might be suited to shake to the ground our worldviews and convictions as homins of Atys). After that, I forgot about and went back to my training.

When having passed the event mission and receiving the message to have been synchronized to http://megacorp.io, I of course understood the connex between the site and the event. I did not access it that evening, but went to bed and looked at it the next morning.

Only then I recognized the possibility of donating C60. I saw a relatively high amount of it on my account, and tried to find out the ratio between donations and percentage of deciphering, then. I realized only then that I had put myself ahead of at that time Joabu, Klayton, and Jarnys who led the donators' list. At that time I did not think a lot about, but during the morning, some players asked me by /tell how I had reached such an amount of C60. In the meantime, Diwu had accessed the site as well and I got aware that her C60 production only started then at a rate of 1 unit per 10 seconds. So I figured that mine must have started at my first access of the site. I explained that to the players who asked me, and they were so far content.

Much different later on Uni, where some players, especially Binarabi and Rollocks, started a real storm of hate, envy, and accusations. Again, I explained how this had happened, but my explanation was turned down as lies and excuses, and some of the haters blamed me to have hacked the site, to have cheated intentionally and so on. After a time I got tired of the enviers and haters and went back to my training. Anyway they went on accusing me on Uni the whole day.

I am appalled and disappointed about such signs of envy and immaturity. It seems that some players are cooking conspiracy theories and are grabbing for every opportunity to develop them further. Beneath that I feel personally offended by, I think that such is in no way a healthy attitude.

You were trolled by a master, nothing more, and you don't have a sense of humour to treat it as the good-natured teasing it was. We play Ryzom to have fun. Your reaction to the behaviour of others is entertaining. That's why you get teased.

At a rough guess dependant on my friends I would say about 60% of the player base didn't know it was even a thing until it was too late. As I have already stated before it was not announced or told to anyone outside the meetings to my knowledge. Your comment that people have to engage in RP is ludicrous. First and foremost I will repeat myself once again: At the time that the termite event was conceived there were many people out there who actively hunt and kill kitins. Many of these people were aspiring rangers but do not like the whole talking- roleplaying and as such didn't attend the meetings. These people were not given an opportunity. Only a select few who regularly attended meetings as far as I am aware.
False. The more recent termite activity involved only 3 people at most. I would hazard a guess at around 90% of the server did not know what was going on. There are forum posts by the rangers and I respect that however many, such as myself, have already been alienated from previous events.
You do not see any fyros, tryker, zorai, matis etc events that are limited to just a few select people being able to activate them.
Please look into the subject before making such claims. I was told by Daomei herself it was a mini game.
Once again you associate rangers with RP. You make a huge mistake in thinking that a prerequisite of the ranger faction is that you have to RP. You make such bold claims- please tell me where you are getting your information from?
That comment is completely uncalled for. I am trying to make a topic here about something which I feel needs to be corrected- or at the very least explained to me why it is occurring. I did try and log in for your information and I am not just simply "banging a drum" as you so eloquently put it.
I would be interested to know where it is mentioned. If you could post a link that would be great thanks.

Daomei:
I don't understand the OVH SAS stuff and have trouble following it sorry. In layman's terms how did you get into the site early? As for the accusations I wasn't there so don't know unfortunately.

That's the norm, 90% of the server is usually not aware of what's going on.. People have been alienated from fyros akenak events (weeks spent discussing uniform colors), people were alienated from zorai meetings (hours upon hours of discussion only very knowledgeable players could follow), etc.

People get bored of meetings full stop. This has been an issue since at least one year, at least in the English community.
Maybe because there are no mechanics in place yet? You can "be" kami by answering some questions and donating some money, same for everything else except rangers.

As of now, there is literally no way for you to be part of the Ranger organization, or even a way to be a Ranger aspirant.. without Wilk Potskin naming you so. Have you asked the animator if you can join the Aspirant ranks simply by displaying a "kitin murderer" title, showing you've been helping with the kitin issue?

I saw the teaser in the forums (did not know it was a teaser) and tried to log in last week.  The only reason I didn't was because I was at work, and I thought it was a dodgy redirect website.  

If I had logged in at that time I would have had a 'head start' like Daomei.  At that time none of us knew what this web page was all about and I forgot about it until the 'Night of Stars'.  Only then did I see that the web page was part of it all.  

We all had the same opportunity to do this and practically no-one did.  This matters very little.  The 'Leaderboard' matters even less.  My name is on there now.  This is only because I clicked something I didn't understand and accidentally donated some C60.  So what.  Big deal.

well then me and i know some others tried logging on that website atleast 10times a day since it was posted but guess we wheren't so lucky to get in or we got a not synchronized error or go kill a yubo as error each time. So yeah it's strange some ppl could get in without any kind of errors when others couldn't. So stop saying the website was open for all that tried since it wasn't for us.

The mot recent fyros event had a huge turn out, just the same for all other races. However these rangers events only involve very few people.

No quite simply for the alienation that has gone on in the rangers. I hoped this post would alert people to this and it would cause the rangers to open up to more than just RPers.
No you would have not had a head start. I tried like many other people to log in unsuccessfully. It would appear (correct me if im wrong Daomei) that Daomei found a way past the security or an area with no security. I can see why people would call you a hacker if this is the case. As in essence thats kind of what you did. Firstdo found an area with no security also- and he got banned for it.

Sorry. It was sent to me years ago (to many players, I understand), but I deleted it unread. What is the point of going on with the game if you know all the facts?

The website was announced on Facebook even before game forums, and I tried the address from the screenshot right then, also retried at different times after. Every time I got an error message.

We would need proof that Daomei (or others) have cheated when accessing the website early, but it's undeniable she has stumbled upon a rare glitch / bug / whatever you call it.
