As Ulukyn has completed the bulk of the "Scenographic Editor" project (which goes from "New Project" to "Maintenance"), he again focuses on reversibility of the subscriptions.

In test:
-Limit quality of equipement
-Be able to take something out of the mount or first packer mektoub’s inventory
-Limit the quality of the crafted items

In progress:
-Free to play can’t put items in their apartment but only take items out of it.

To do:
-Limit forage mats from pike quality
-Modify the billing to add reversibility of subscriptions.

What does Limit quality of equipment, Limit the quality of the crafted items, and Limit forage mats from pike quality mean exactly? We will not be able to craft excel or sup equipment, or dig excel or sup? Will we only be able to craft a certain number of items? We will only be able to dig a specific amount of mats?

Question 1. What do you guys mean about a micro payment system, and how will it help Ryzom? Be specific please.

Micro-payments system let you buy thing in an item shop / in your player account.
It could be skin, mount, useless pet, virtual money witch can be use to pay your monthly account or any stuff sell by players in the IG market.

By using virtual money in the IG market you send virtual money to players who have sell items, then he can use this virtual money to pay his monthly account or buy something else.
Unfortunately, these's not market on Ryzom :(

By the way I strongly disagree with Seto, yes items shop may sell all IG items and even over-boosted items that did not exist and should not exist, but that only append if the entire Ryzom staff have no brain and really really want to kill the game for ever, pay2win really sucks nobody want that on Ryzom.

Question 2. Yeah, a f2p system sounds nice for players, but how is Ryzom paid for? How are Devs paid for to fix game, provide new content, events, not to mention add expansion packs, maybe new worlds, maybe new lands, new NCP maurauders and gear, all the new stuff mention in Ideas forum within Lore guidelines?

Money has to come from somewhere.

Money come from monthly account and donate via paypal
It's not enough as we can all see, development of the game in all part is really slow, few more people payed in the staff would increase the speed of all development.


BTW micro-payment do not mean that monthly account should be drop.


(Side note : I witch to be able to pay more on my montly account in order to donate without give money to paypal each time)
Proposal here > Add donate in monthly account payment

I.... this is not what I expected.

I was hoping that dappers could be purchased for real money, and what can be purchased with dappers would be increased.
