    I wouldn't put it that strongly but i didn't really enjoy this game. After about 5 hours downloading i was thinking this game better be worth it. but after 2 hours playing it i was bored out of my mind.

    It doesn't help that u go backwards and forwards for an hour talking to the NPC's learning what to do.

    Actually it is not that bad, just need LOTS of tweaking.

    I played back in open beta and was very frustrated. I couldn't seem to kill even the weakest critters and the long-long tutorial was beyond boring, even if informative. I gave up after around 4 hours.

    For whatever reason, I decided to give it a try on the weekend and I had a lot of fun. I didn't have to go through the tutorial again and for whatever reason, I could kill things.

    I need to see more of it before I would commit to buying it in retail though. I am concerned that the end game could hold my interest.

    Same here Phear, when beta first started like you I was frustrated. Part of a beta I suppose :) so I expected that. After a long break from it, did the open weekend, and had fun. So I did the second free weekend and had fun again.

    Keeping an eye out on this one. Some interesting twists that have my attention, like the "Offspring" thing.

    I just tried Ryzom and i can understand why they decided to move the release date till september. On the other hand this game cant possibly stand a chance against WoW, EQ2, GW, DnL and it could have been a decent alternative until one of these big ones arrive.

    1. The character customization options are very limited, even for an open beta. There is 3 races to pick from and they all look humanish, even more than in Anarchy Online.

    2. The interface is hell. Its not really confusing, but a simple thing as changing controls can take up to an hour, just horrible design.

    3. The graphics are not very impressive. When i turned everything on, the fps rate dropped significantly and even then the graphics couldnt compare with SWG's

    4. The gameplay is similar to Lineage II in the aspect of combat. The animations has a scent of anima to it, which i personally dont like. There are limited starting professions: Magic, Fighting, Crafting and Foraging. Sure, one can specialize, but its still very limited.

    5. At the moment the game suffers from lag and very frequent disconnections. I had 3 disconnectionms within 4 hours.

    Of course they are going to add content and features, but i think its too late. If you are looking for a game, because you are tired of EQ, SWG or AC, you could try Ryzom only for the variation.

    This game is soo good image

    Dont read the guide, just begin..
    So much to do, big invasions with hundreds of monsters & a great community.
    Btw in 4 hours you can easy reach the mainland.

    Also fun in this game is the powerleveling: lvl 50 in crafting in 2 hours

    1. Not all Games have orks and weird stuff.

    3. The weather effects are stunning, the whole island changes if it becomes winter for example.

    Hello,

    I just wanted to jump in to give some clarity on some comments.

    There are 4 player races in Ryzom and have been for over 2 months now.

    I cannot fully respond to the FPS comments, as I am not sure of your set up.  I can say, I have seen framerates as high as 50+ on higher end machines and obviously I have seen lower framerates.  We are always tweaking the client and server performance, and things are always improving.  Although I may be biased, I do feel Ryzom graphics are beautiful and well worth a look.  The artists at Nevrax have created some amazing and unique environments.

    I guess other than this not being a PvP based game, and Ryzom having a very unique customizable action system (Modular Action System) as well as the RAID (Realtime Army Invasion Deployment) system, yes this would be similar to other MMO games in combat including Lineage II.

    Over this past open weekend we had some issues with server crashes.  The issue was due to a patch which went out on Friday, something that should never happen and will not happen again, and affected the server memory handler adversely.  The issue was found and corrected on Saturday night.

    I can only answer the comments based in fact and not opinion.  Although, I do respect those opinions.

    Of course, everyone is welcome to sign up for Beta to form their own opinions.  http://www.ryzom.com .  As long as you are part of the Ryzom community, you can join us in any future open weekends as well as the future open beta planned prior to launch.

    Its not like Lineage 2.

    But i can see why noobs would get disorientated. See ryzom as an unfinished product and youll be fine.

    Just couple comments.

    The game has a very neat and beautifull grpahics. Though they definetly need some tweaking but the graphics is definetly stunning, especially the weather effects. Alos de environment and the whole word is just really truly unique and u seen some amazing places and creatures during your adventure. Dont know who created the world, but this game truly takes you into a totally diff universe.

    My problem with the game is that it is still a big mess. May be Ive been missing something but I just dont know what to do in the game. I just go and kill stuff, that is cool but gets boring after couple days/weeks. There is no content to it. I get a feeling that the game is still "empty". Yoo have this game with great potential, but it misses the content that can hold me down.
