My guess is trial accounts are not activated and will not be able to log in. Though I'll probably try it anyway but I'm expecting to be shown the door.
Hehe...yep, I am expecting the same thing but you can't blame a guy for trying!
The main forum is hinting at there being a patch fix to make the client work (which I assume changes the startup connection ip in the config and stuff like that)
Check your email and especially junk email boxes (yahoo apparently junks it), if you were subscribed when the game went down, is what they are saying, to get the info for this patch thingy..
Yeah I think i'll wait for my retail box to arrive unless they definitely open up the account creation process before then, at which point ill get it downloaded. Should only take an hour or so.
I wish they let us new players join. I would be willing to order the retail box just so i can get on.
I know what you mean mate. I have ordered the retail box!! In a perfect world it'd be here tomorrow but I doubt that, probably on Thursday. But i doubt i'll even be able to activate it and play then....hopefully they'l get the account page up really soon.
I have done an free trial acount i gues 2 years agoo but never got the chance to play the game now i trie to log on in the web and it is working:P...it say that i can play for free in some noob area i gues.I download the game now and i will play the game becouse of the good feedback of the old players.I am hapy for the fans of this game that is ben resurected.
I will give this game a trie till Aion hit the market.
I start to download the game from Fileplanet. and i whant someone that download from same site to confirm if you can log in to the game with this client.Thx.
Yes, you can use the old client but you have to patch it with a file called ryzom_fixer ... this patcher is available only to the players that has been invited by Spiderweb.
Only accounts that were valid and paid when the servers went down (Feb 08) are allowed (and able) to log in and play on mainland.
Accounts that were locked before are still locked and unable to play.
Trial accounts may play on the free trial island but are unable to change to main. Even if you get a valid cd-key, you won't be able to create an account or change to mainland.
Only accounts that have the VIP-status can play on mainland and there is no method to change your trial account into a VIP account.
Downloading the files doesn't help. It only enables owners of trial-accounts to play on the free trial isle. Creation of new trial-accounts is not possible.
DOWNLOADING THE FILE IS USELESS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXISTING ACCOUNT.
You should mention it everytime you can't wait to post this link against the explicit wish of the Ryzom Team.

As the download is nearly useless to everybody whos account is not marked as VIP it would be helpful for all that have valid accounts NOT TO SPREAD the link as this causes additional traffic that doesn't help anybody (as you can't create a trial account anyway, even with a key) but is annoying for all VIP players that are allowed to log in.
So it would be kind to stop spreading the download-links as it was wished by the Ryzom Customer Support.

Thanks. also just remembered I already had the client d/l on my old machine just need to copy the files over. Was mainly interested in being able to get back to trial island
I was able to log into the account page, and Status is OK for me....but I never got a email from them.
My account status was OK also, but I had changed my e-mail account so I did not receive the e-mail.
I logged on the CeB chat and they helped me out and I'm up and playing Ryzom again.
The first time you run the CeB chat program you have to login with your username and password. So enter your username when it says login. Just for those of you that need their hand held as much as I did, lol.
Of course I had been a paying subscriber for over a year. However my impression was if you could get to the account status page and the account status is OK -- then they intended for you to be included in the VIP access. Just my impression.
For the rest of you, I really hope they open Ryzom up to you sooner rather than later. I miss all the chat from newbies, other than that Ryzom is as good as ever as best as I can tell.
I just logged unto the newbie isle using my old trial. d/l the game right fast via the torrent (was too lazy to use my old computer). so once again I thank you guys for the link it came in handy. I didnt feel like turning on my old computer and sifting through the hard drive for a file. with this torrent it was alrady up to date and contained all the patches

as long as you have the right client you can log in

Well, you need the client and a valid account. I believe any account that existed before the servers went down will work, you just can't create a new one. I had simply a trial account that I signed up for the day the servers went offline and never got to play and I have been enjoying the world of Atys since yesterday.
Can anyone provide the ryzom_fixer link? I have a retail box which is no doubt very out of date...
I believe I should be able to play due to having a trial account and playing it for a few minutes then never got round to trying it again! My monthly download usage is getting pretty damn low already so I dont really want to download the full thing...

I suggest you go to the Ryzom website, download the CeB chat software and discuss your siituation with the CSRs there.
EDIT: forget that -- see Gilgameesh's post " About the Box Key"
You might be able to sneak in but why take a chance on alienating the CSRs and new owners -- they'll prob catch you.

Not tried it yet though.

Go to the support page from the main Ryzom page.
The CeB software download is at the top of the page
CSR = Customer Service Representative
You do need a valid acount name and password to login to the CeB chat.
I've seen people saying "You need a valid account to get in" etc.
By a valid account, do you mean one that was ACTIVE at the time of SoR going down?
Or valid as in already created an account and have played before?
Just wondering, as I cannot even get to the forums to post.
I can log in to the forums, it accepts that fine, but after that it then says I don't have permission to continue.
ie meaning it won't take me to the forums logged in, only as a guest.
Are other old returning players getting this issue too?
I really want to post on the forums and say hello etc, but cannot get there with my old account..
