IDEAS FOR RYZOM

Lacuna hates males. She is a toon. I don't want one in my life but I have no problem with them as long as they wash regularly and don't try to make me watch football :P

Brah! Lets go get drinks at the bar! ;)

If it is a Sports Bar, I may decide lacuna is right :P

Can we please make a new thread for Ranger Tears and let this one stay as it was intended? For maraduers? Yes I agree Ranger needs to be fixed too but that should have nothing to do with the discussion of Marauders being fixed. We can see we have views that differ but in the end we all want everything fixed. This is the Marauders Tears thread, only evil tears allowed here friends!

I was just having fun...When we discuss or are opposed often people lable it as tears. I wanted to say it first though :) I do agree that Ranger should have direct access to many other spaces. Things were just done half assed to please us. I did say though that I agree Rangers should own Almati.
I was just adding to the fun because even someone as evil as me enjoys a good laugh too :P

Exit mission for a marauder would be ok, yes if difficult. I myself wouldn't have a problem just doing fame missions the current way to fix myself if I did ever want to go back but my intentions are to stay Marauder.
I would have stuck with Ranger if the implementation would have been better. The missions finding the pathways was great.
I know longer hold any values or ideals from Karavan or Kami so I could never go back to either of them. I have worked fame to max and back down and back up many times, it gave me something to do. I think most left because they got tired of the waiting and not the wanting to go back part being too hard. I can't speak for everyone of course but this is the feeling that I personally saw. It would be great to hear from those players on their thoughts if they still browse these forums.

Hello,

It seems necessary to remind the community of the basic rules about using Ryzom channels. Everyone must act as a polite and civilized individuals, and be respectful with WinchGate staff. Foul language and xenophobic talk are also prohibited. 

The forum is a place to exchange thoughts and of debate, in a good atmosphere for discussions. Animosity and agressive behavior against Ryzom staff is not something that is tolerated. Marauder players have the chance to have a volunteer who is dedicated and responsible for Marauders, and who spends all of his free time to work for them. He has explained during an OOC meeting, what he and some Ryzom teams are working on together for Marauders, and nearly everything that has been requested on the forums by players, is exactly what he stated was in progress with the team at in his OOC meeting. Such disrespectful comments from a part of the community are just unfair and demotivating for all the staff and are unacceptable.

I have also moderated several xenophobic posts. Such a behaviour is also unacceptable in a Ryzom channel.

I invite some of you to read again the Code of Conduct of Ryzom Services and to respect it. Please consider this as a general warning to the community. For those who continue to disregard these rules, the next time it will be more than a warning.

I did not re-read the Lore before writing this, but this seems to be one of the rather rare times I'm with Daomei regarding the acceptance of the Marauders as a kind of nation. It's not a, say, homogenic whole. It's a collection of Outcasts from various ways of life, and for very different reasons. Their intentions differ a lot (not least in RP), and they are made up from psychotic murderers to charming rogues, from heretics to traitors to pocket thieves. Not nearly all want the "other" Homins dead, especially not those who, in a way, live from them (thieves, mercenaries etc.). It's not impossible to have business with some of them, but if they were a real nation, bound only to the will and command of Melkiar the Black Varinx and his fierce daughter, any business - any interplay apart from PvP - with them would be impossible, and therefore they would be even more cut out of things than they are now. I guess some Marauder players won't care - others would.

I want to address the theory of the "left behind in the Old Lands". There can be little doubt that not all Homins made it in time to the Rainbow bridges. Many others choosed to stay behind (Muang/Marung, for example). Most Marauders weren't even born then - many were born in the New Lands, and/or joined the Marauders long after the Swarming. When the Second Swarming came, the Marauders received the offer to flee with most of Hominkind to a safe place, but again decided to stay (Akilia made it very clear that she and her people won't go). So the idea of the Marauders taking revenge for their neglection during the Swarmings make sense only for a very limited amount of them, but not for the others, who socialised with other Homins before deciding to join an on the whole anti-social organisation.
