Great that the the 3.0 version is now official. For Beta refusniks like me this is good news. This looks like a significant step forward for Ryzom. Many solid improvements to the useability and stability of the game. The list of improvements is very impressive and thanks to all the devs who have obviously been busy :-)

You can't "complete" the mainland. If one thinks one has seen or done everything there, one is kidding oneself. But be prepared to "get out what you put in," because the mainland does not coddle or hold hands.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.

Awesome!

My concern as a GNU/Linux packager for this game is getting the compilation process right, is there any updated wiki about compiling Ryzom for GNU/Linux?

«But my belief that miracles have happened in human history is not a mystical belief at all; I believe in them upon human evidences as I do in the discovery of America. Upon this point there is a simple logical fact that only requires to be stated and cleared up. Somehow or other an extraordinary idea has arisen that the disbelievers in miracles consider them coldly and fairly, while believers in miracles accept them only in connection with some dogma. The fact is quite the other way. The believers in miracles accept them (rightly or wrongly) because they have evidence for them. The disbelievers in miracles deny them (rightly or wrongly) because they have a doctrine against them. ...» ~G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy cont. http://tj-markdown-paste.herokuapp.com/posts/354428

Est-ce qu'on a une idée de la date exacte de la réintégration de Ryzom dans la logithèque Ubuntu ? Le 7 octobre ? Plus tard ?

Merci.

There is .deb build files in repo. If you building package for other linux, then you probably want to adapt those to your packaging rules.

Branch for live version is 'compatibility' and beta version is 'compatibility-develop'. Currently beta is not merged into live yet and I do not know when that happens.
