Ryzom will move to a real Free to Play concept soon!

Hello,

We are working to move the game to a true Free to Play / Freemium concept, in answer to the feedback you have shared with us on our forums and on Steam:

- All accounts will have a free to play access, even the unsubscribed ones.
Our main goal is to give all the players choosing not to pay (or not to pay anymore) the same basic gameplay required to enjoy all the game. That means that unsubcribed players will still be able to play even if they are not subscribed anymore, with free to play rights, which is not the case at the moment.

- Paying for Premium option will permit more gameplay rights.
Moving to Premium option will offer more gameplay possibilities, such as double experience points, more storage capacity, higher allowed level of equipment...
Removing an account from the Premium option will allow the player to go on playing with this account. It will, however, be moved back to the Free to Play option.

We will add more details once the developers have finished their work and we are ready to implement this new feature. This is in our high priority to-do list. 

Have a nice day on Atys!

Ryzom Team

Amazing!

Questions:

o What happens to unsubscribed people who are full on storage? Do items get deleted?

o Will Cats still be obtainable on free-to-play?

o What is the pricing for premium? The same as current?


My problem is I have an Alt on another account and it stinks having to pay for both characters. :( I wish I could just pay the 100/year for both :(

- Exess toobs are desabled : when you are near the stable its just like when you are fare away.

- when you log in free to play, the gear you have equiped that you cant equip as a free to play players are not equiped on you neither on your bag ( to avoid full bag problem ).
They are like quest reward when bag is full, you have to go to the stable master to take them.

- it may be to much a work to lower the passives and stanzas to thoses of a lvl 150, just limite gear.

- limit all gear to lvl 150, so you could be lvl 150 so have lvl 150+25 = 175 jewels, just alow lvl 150 jewel to equip, so its easy to explain and understand.

- free = 150 max, so you can equip a 150 pick, dig in 150 zone, so gather up to lvl 200 mats, but only can equip lvl 150 tool to craft.

- so OK, an ex payed account who is lvl 200 in melee can't ding anymore but keep all the passives and stanzas he got, its just a little bonus he have for been an ex payed player, not big deal and an incentive to pay now and then just to improve a bit your free to play toon.

quel est l’interré de passer en free dans 6 mois on va nous dire ben il plus de sous on va fermer le serveur

je comprend pas toute les décision de ce jeu defois

on fusionne par manque d'argent mais on le met free

pourquoi avoir fusionné les 3 serveur dans ce cas ?

je pense que il y a des choses prioritaire dans le jeu avant de passer en free comme c'est lag intenpestif

il y a pas un problème dans l'énoncé ?

je suis pas la pour crasher mon venin mais j'aimerai comprendre cette logique

Je ne comprend pas votre logique, au lieu de bosser à apporter du contenu les DEV ( et il y en a peu et bénévole pour la plupart ! ) se retrouvent à bûcher pour que ryzom passe en F2P ?

Pourquoi ? vous avez trop d'abonnés ?

Depuis je ne sais combien d'années les Maraudeurs, Rangers et Trytonnistes attendent leur rite....

La fusion a déjà été dure à digérer et là vous allez nous transformer Ryzom en un jeu où les joueurs ne ferons que passer quand ils n'aurons rien d'autres à faire ailleurs.

Beaucoup de copain ig ont désabonné cet été, par ennui....ça n'est pas le F2P qui les fera revenir :(((

Moi même je me force à me co, si je viens encore jouer c'est juste pour retrouver mes amis de jeu mais je m'ennuie de plus en plus...

Gros - 100 pour le F2P et pour faire perdre leur temps aux DEV, pensez aux abonnés avant de penser à ceux qui ne paient pas.

Ca sent de plus en plus la fin de ce jeu qui pourtant est le meilleur auquel j'ai jamais joué

*Triste*

There are already lots of F2P coming in, not paying, and leaving. Most of my friends list is this way.

Making ryzom fremium will not change this, it will only benefit older players who want to come back

We may soon see the biggest population ever (of older players at least)

Some of them will re-sub

There is no down side to this, runescape does it, eve is doing it and guild wars wont be a good excuse to get away anymore (one time payment there)

If you feel like content is lacking, well.. play "limited" and pay when you feel there is enough.

This is an excellent change

Eve ont déjà mis en place depuis longtemps un système de monétisation, avec les PLEX et les AUR qui peuvent être achetés avec des ISK (money du jeu) ou avec la CB.
Les plex peuvent être transformés en AUR
Avec les PLEX on peut payer sont abonnement et avec les AUR acheter des skins.

ya aucun équivalent sur Ryzom
Pas de skin ou de couleur autre que ce que tout le monde à déjà en jeu, c'est pareil pour les coiffures et tatouages.

Autre problème, il y a aucun système de commerce qui donne envie aux joueurs de vendre du super matos, donc un système équivalent au PLEX de Eve j'vois pas comment.
Le système de commerce actuel c'est plus des PNJ poubelle à qui ont refile nos crafts pourris et tout ce qui nous encombre.

Pour un bon système F2P qui soit positif et rentable, il y a du boulot mais je suis totalement POUR parce que ce sera très bon une fois les quelques soucis réglés.

Im not sure this will be true. From what I understand all my gear and such will be limited to 150. In other words it will be pretty much like it was before the closing of the 3 servers.

If I can't play as a level 250 I won't bother logging in as all the work I would do in game won't mean anything.

Just craft another branch, train another weapon, group with newcommers in your guilde, and when you can pay a month play the full game.

Re: Tqwaste

That's the point of a fremium model, to encoruage you to resub but not to kick you out entirely

Most people from what I have observed are playing for the community/friends in any case, rarely for the levels they got

I've been afk for most of the week due to work... I haven't leveled all that much and most of my skills are not even 125

125 heal craft and dig is enough to help a lot of people, I did the entire ranger tp's section in q110 heavy armor with below 125 combat

The point is.. it's better than being locked out, and the temptation will exist to go into your wallet

Money that helps ryzom is all fine by me

Pour proposer un jeu en free to play, il faut avoir du contenu payant à proposer qui donne vraiment envie... ou qui soit nécessaire. La double XP...c'est nécessaire à ceux qui veulent XP, mais ceux qui s'en fichent... ?

Le jeu se repeuplera surement... avec une population de joueurs free to play... est-ce qu'ils paieront? Je n'en suis vraiment pas certaine... et s'il n'y a pas assez d'argent pour garder le serveur ?

Ensuite je me demande ce qu'il y d'autre caché derrière cette annonce ? quelque chose du genre l'arrêt des équipes d'event et d'animation ? On laisse les serveurs ouverts et on s'occupe plus de rien ? Peut on savoir exactement ce que cela changera ?

Je sais pas si c'est une bonne nouvelle ou pas en fait... :(

La seule chose que ça peu changer c'est que les anciens n'auront pas à créer un alt pour jouer free to play quand ils ont pas de sous/temps, ça changera rien d'autre.

Et pour les nouveaux joueurs, ils sauront que si ils payent ce ne sera pas signer une obligation de payer pour jouer apres leur premier moi payant, ce qui comme le montre le forum steam n'est pas quelque chose qui invite à tester le jeu payant.

The best thing they can do in my opinion is to lower the price. I payed for 2 subs for years simply to support the game and I didn't even play it! But the cost got to be to much. They need to cut the price in half and remove all taxes. make it $49/year per account. Then I would pay every year even if I didn't play.

There should be nothing about this game that costs any real money. The population is low. Colo hosting prices are pretty low these days. I mean they should just get a VM somewhere to host the game. I even offered them FREE colo space and FREE bandwidth years ago and they wouldn't take it. If they are paying huge costs to host this game they are doing something wrong and should explore alternative solutions.

But the price for Ryzom is way to high.
