They have just opened a NA server ( if my infos are correct).

Go to this english site :
http://www.ryzom.com/

The core of devs was french, then german and english people came in.Now this game opens to the world community, we are at Open Beta 3.
It is a skilled based game like swg but people present themselves with the level of their highest skill (lol).
The skills can be combined in bricks with Stanzas (sort of basis skills), some are negative and some positive..the result must be the same (distance -3 and power +3 for instance but more stanzas can be combined).So the customization is also in the way we construct our actions.

If they give us only the half of what they promised, this will be a new and exciting game.

I writed once but due problems my post don`t showed up so this time i write it short

Ryzom was looking nice on movie that i downloaded i looks cool in faq and thats all good about this game
Its a simple crap this is why (in points and not all thing as this post is short)

Pure Technical:
-great lags, everywhere, its a nightmare out there
-lots of crashes, its too much even for beta (especially open), playing more than 15 minutes without a crash is a miracle

Game:
-awfull graphic (i start thinking that game movie that you could download was corrected in 3d studio or even made there) its outdated at least 3 years, i think that it could be even 4, its like baldurs gate 2 in 3d and in 3rd person perspective
-character moving is very unnatural, fightning looks even worst, char stay still long time and move from one lag to another and back, than sometimes hit with (sword/dagger or anything else)
-magic is more fun (you move using arrows need face the enemy target it use magic, it is charging up than hit target), charging time is diffrent in same spell, but still spells looks awfull, good idea wrong engine, but still it is best point in game
-crafting could be nice in higher lvl but in low lvl its boring as hell: put what you want craft from menu than put one kind of ore (not important what you crafting) in slot hit craft and you maybe succided and maybe not, NO CUSTOMIZATION, everyone could craft same things (depend on race and further on skills), further you theoretically could need more specialized things for crafting further lvls items, but im not sure if this isnt only my hopes;)
-learning skills is nightmare maybe somwhere is detaily writed what skill what exactly do but i don`t found it
-interface looks awfull too, everything green, not intuitive at all, you could get use to this... if you try hard
-missions... you could earn lots more by hunting rats in noob area.. when more means 30/40 times more in same time its little silly as missions arent easy/fast (most of them)
-exploring is boring too, everything looks same, everyhing is yellow, i know its a desert but... same looking trees? same landscape? i tried starting in many places and go further from there, if it wasnt writed that this is diffrent place this could make me some time to figure it out...
-char customization... very limited, looks nice from first but you dont have many combinations, but little more than infamouse lineage 2 (called clone invasion)
-i read somwhere that here is permadeath - but not checked it, if yes it is silly, dying is too easy here, mob could kill you in few blows if not in one
-resting between fights is funny (to big), and xp very low for kill

Community:
-there is in game comunity? i tried to talk with another players but no answers, funny, (tried several times), chat look same as in lineage2, nothing special, nothing new but works well, maybe i wasn`t lucky enough to meet someone that looks on chat channel but fight with interface

Playing it i need to remember that this isn`t very early alpha but open beta, it looks so "good"

If someone want to spend money on this... hmmm he dont have big expectations;) I regreat downloading time and mine friends regreat it too (we downloaded in almost same time from fileplanet)

This isn`t only mine opinion but all mine friends that checked it, so dont tell that this is only mine whining;)

From the brighter sides tutorial isnt very bad, i could even tell that it is decent;) Oh and something good about this game... hmmmm... its for free now (open beta) and you could check it and dont waste cash;)

And yes it was short:) I could easily write more flaws in this title, i simply don`t want write whole book;)

Left out part of Arleonenis' post in my quote so my post wouldn't be so long, and btw, Arleonenis, no your post isn't long but not short either

. Your entitled to your opinion and yes, SoR still has a lot of issues to be worked out, but to judge a game in open beta as crap, I don't agree. SoR is very beta as an open beta goes, and the game is still months away, probably even as much as 6 months, from being a completed project for release. The graphics aren't 3 to 4 years old either unless you turned down all your settings to the lowest available because your system couldn't run it, and even then, the graphics you see aren't the final graphics that will be the pleasing eye candy you get in the release. Though, I will be highly enraged if the graphics don't get tweaked and all that is promised isn't made good upon. In that case, I may be eating crow and buying all you naysayers a drink

Arleonenis · April 2004

hehehe all settings are as highest as possible. Stats of my comp: Athlon 1800 XP, 512mb ddr, leadtek geforce fx 5700 256ddr, so i could run all games smoothly;)
And graphic is outdated not only in my opinion but all my friends too, but everyone have diffrent taste and if someone think this is a crap another will like;)
And it is now open beta, as for "open beta" deffinition it is almost completed products that could lack some contents from retail version but is almost finished. And changing graphic engine or polishing it will not take place. I dont like what i saw, and i dont like it so badly that i dont give second chance to it...

Pure Technical:
-great lags, everywhere, its a nightmare out there
-lots of crashes, its too much even for beta (especially open), playing more than 15 minutes without a crash is a miracle

Lag is terrible, I agree, however while I have crashed a couple of times I have also gone a whole 2-3 hours play session without doing so.

Game:
-awfull graphic (i start thinking that game movie that you could download was corrected in 3d studio or even made there) its outdated at least 3 years, i think that it could be even 4, its like baldurs gate 2 in 3d and in 3rd person perspective

I am curious as to what game you were playing 4 Years ago, cos the MMORPGs I remember had blockier people, much worse animal/clothing textures and spell effects that looked like you had let of a sparkler (and they were the good ones)

-character moving is very unnatural, fightning looks even worst, char stay still long time and move from one lag to another and back, than sometimes hit with (sword/dagger or anything else)

I think this may be more a lag problem, I have found alot of sudden movement skips due to lag and packetloss, but I really quite like alot of the movements given to my character. It is unfortunate that they let in so many people so fast, as it has given alot of people a really bad lagfest first impression

-magic is more fun (you move using arrows need face the enemy target it use magic, it is charging up than hit target), charging time is diffrent in same spell, but still spells looks awfull, good idea wrong engine, but still it is best point in game

Yet again I guess it is a question of taste, I don't have a problem with spell effects so far although they are quite a different style from the classic EQ big explosions or glowing balls around your character.

-crafting could be nice in higher lvl but in low lvl its boring as hell: put what you want craft from menu than put one kind of ore (not important what you crafting) in slot hit craft and you maybe succided and maybe not, NO CUSTOMIZATION, everyone could craft same things (depend on race and further on skills), further you theoretically could need more specialized things for crafting further lvls items, but im not sure if this isnt only my hopes;)

Not sure what you mean by this , you say 'put one kind of ore (not important what you crafting)' and the only thing I can assume from that is that you are still using the generic materials for everything. In the lower crafting lvls to make a glove for example you may need some leather from one animal, a hoof from another and so forth, but you can still make a (supposedly slightly less effective) version replacing some of the raw materials with this generic material which I think may be your 'ore'. This allows people to practise crafting even when they can't quite kill the animal they need to or harvest the plant yet. If you have only used the generic material you haven't quite understood the process and should maybe take a bit of time to learn more before complaining.

-learning skills is nightmare maybe somwhere is detaily writed what skill what exactly do but i don`t found it

Once games have been out a while the fan sites make huge lists of spells and skills and maps etc, if you need to be spoonfed this type of info rather than exploring the gameplay yourself you should maybe play games that have been out for a while

-interface looks awfull too, everything green, not intuitive at all, you could get use to this... if you try hard

not sure what you mean by this

-missions... you could earn lots more by hunting rats in noob area.. when more means 30/40 times more in same time its little silly as missions arent easy/fast (most of them)

Its only beta nothing is set in stone yet with the economics and missions......

-exploring is boring too, everything looks same, everyhing is yellow, i know its a desert but... same looking trees? same landscape? i tried starting in many places and go further from there, if it wasnt writed that this is diffrent place this could make me some time to figure it out...

Only one land (the desert) is open so far, there are some different trees and so forth, but seriously, how different do deserts usually look?

-char customization... very limited, looks nice from first but you dont have many combinations, but little more than infamouse lineage 2 (called clone invasion)

I would like to hope this changes a bit, I quite like the faces being able to change feature size and placement yourself but it does need to be more radical, however I do like the facial tattoos alot, I really think it adds to the character

-i read somwhere that here is permadeath - but not checked it, if yes it is silly, dying is too easy here, mob could kill you in few blows if not in one

Well check it then, it was taken out of the game due to the fact that dying cos of lag is too easy in any MMORPG at the moment, however a version was left in in which you could choose to allow your character to grow old and die, however you would generate an offspring that had some skills even as a newbie and also some bonuses as opposed to first generation characters. This could be quite interesting but I think it will only work if they let you keep the name, otherwise 'friends' lists could get too complicated

-resting between fights is funny (to big), and xp very low for kill

These are the things a Beta is there to work out

Community:
-there is in game comunity? i tried to talk with another players but no answers, funny, (tried several times), chat look same as in lineage2, nothing special, nothing new but works well, maybe i wasn`t lucky enough to meet someone that looks on chat channel but fight with interface

At the moment it is only really worth talking on Universal if you want to just chat about the game and stuff, although people do chat in the respawn points and other congregating areas. I had no trouble having questions answered by using universal channel and also getting help with things like completing missions by asking people who were milling around the respawn points. I also got healed a couple of times when I respawned just by people being helpful for the hell of it.

Playing it i need to remember that this isn`t very early alpha but open beta, it looks so "good"

If someone want to spend money on this... hmmm he dont have big expectations;) I regreat downloading time and mine friends regreat it too (we downloaded in almost same time from fileplanet)

Thats why people don't pay for Beta, It Is not finished......

This isn`t only mine opinion but all mine friends that checked it, so dont tell that this is only mine whining;)

How long did you all play?

From the brighter sides tutorial isnt very bad, i could even tell that it is decent;) Oh and something good about this game... hmmmm... its for free now (open beta) and you could check it and dont waste cash;)

I guess that was one of the companies bigger mistakes, by making it open Beta they have attracted people who are interested in a 'free' game rather than actually helping test the thing and keeping an open mind

And yes it was short:) I could easily write more flaws in this title, i simply don`t want write whole book;)

If you were writing a 'whole book' you may also have been expected to do a bit more research

Nugget · April 2004

i was in the closed beta but i played 2 day total it was one of the worste beta test ive ever been in. nothing worked properly there was max of 60 players on the server and it still lagged like 800-8000 ping all the time... everytime i died id get stuck in the clouds with all the other players, the only time you could continue playing the game was if a gm took you own, but then you died 5 seconds later and your back stuck. i gave up after 2 days of testing... gm's were always online though which was good, but honestly this game has no potential, they should stop now before there completely bankrupt... the trailer movies looked great but the game is what i would say alpha version 1. this is no open beta test.. the only other beta ive ever tested that was bad like this was Wish beta. and not sure if that game is even still being made.

this game will not make retail and if it does it wont sell total mess. 80% of the spells missing names npc with blank names, anonymous names was a total havok for me.

Arleonenis · April 2004

i played 2 or 3 days in it i know its to less for fully check the game but if i don`t like anything i see why play longer? if i found something i would like ok i could give it a try for longer time period.

Your arguments to my post is simply usually good wishes, its all lag problem, they will surely change it or this isn`t so bad... honstly there are many mmorpgs on market if you want to play this play it, i writed what i think about this game, if you don`t agree no problem its your taste not mine:) ... Thanks god;P

ghoulie · April 2004

I couldn't even get the game to install properly! Ugh. First, it kept rejecting my password. It's too long, it's too short, it's too this, it's too that... I've never had anyone tell me my password was too LONG before. Gah.

Then the game wouldn't install. It told me it was at 100% after about five minutes and just sat there. And sat there... and sat there... An hour later I finally cancelled and tried again. Same thing. I can't believe anyone even got this thing to install. Maybe I'm too impatient, but jeeeeez.. So my friend falls back on the same old excuse and says to me "It's BETA!" like that makes up for not even being able to install it.

I don't care if it's beta or not. If people can't even log in, it's alpha. Not beta. I would have been kicked out of college for presenting a beta stage project in that state.
