Translation of Mermaidia post, because it is very important.
It is the voice of numerous clients of this game.

Without falling into the endless "it was better before", we have to admit some facts.

There have been some attempts to return for some: 1 month resub, just because Ryzom took us by the gut one day and we always end up coming back, but until when?
Now these attempts to return are being made without resub....

So yes we are happy to see the friends again but the story is not moving forward, the RP calendar is empty from empty and it's a pity for an MMORPG.

For example: a few nights ago, I was asked about who does what among the Fyros, senators, NPCs, etc.
Forced to dig up posts on X forums to try to review everything (and it was laborious and I don't have all the answers).

And now I come back to a post about the investigation into the death of Senator Abycus where we were told that the events would resume in January, then got reported to February... 2018 !
Today, March 6, 2019, we are still at the same point...
(Lykos had said he was taking over the business personally. Mermaidia would like to give him a chance, by respect for the memory of the last senator, but now she is more and more desperate about his inefficiency).

Disappointment after disappointment, even the most hooked ones move away by spacing their connections time....


Ryzom could be so much more alive if we could restart the RP machine and not just between friends around a fire or in a bar,
if we could resume events on a larger scale and train other players in this direction.
The RP is not innate, it is discovered and developed.

2 lines please, just to show this facet of this game that has caught our attention so much, and why not make other players come back to us.

[EDIT] Removed because answering to deleted comments.

Just a note, I am not sure all of you have noticed that the message was changed some time ago and actually says the following:

Very interesting Moniq... i wonder why English and French version differ..

The french version is more strict, not to mention that on the english version you have "It is used for general chat" <- which is not the case on the french one...

Hello,

Just a word to tell I'll answer this topic tomorrow.

[EDIT] Removed the quote of a previously deleted sentence.

Everyone have place in Atys i would answer to you.
The game start to be old, and not very welcoming, the mentality did change in this era and 2019 with all the new games, steam, the thousands free to play game you can try that are even better than this.

People expect something, they expected a certains guidance.
They want to go into the action of the game directly, and learn by themselv because its rewarding, they are tired of the work day and want to have fun directly, not read novels.

And Silan fail to provide this, you are open minded enough to understand this i think.
This is what Jellona try to explain in very big about Silan.

You will see, for Ryzom to survive in a long term once again (or reborn? since its quite dead already), Silan will need to be reworked out, at least the tutorial.

It is not a matter of been smart or reading langage etc, its just not catchy enough (a 150 lines pop up) for the common players base, and attract/hook new clients.
It need to be modernized, designed in a way it is more accessible.

Like 2 lines in around channel can fix a few things by example.
We can imagine a guidance tutorial with players interaction (like Runescape) instead of a pop-up with 100 lines of text writted with tiny fonts size.
