Just another post to announce that Nevrax will start a free 14 days trials this month.
If your interested about Ryzom give it a try, its the perfect time to build your own opinion.
If your not interested, here's the main feature, some of them are not in game yet but they are coming :
- Raid Engine, certain Mobs can group and attack towns and outpost.
- Complete ecosystem, Carnivore and herbivore, the carnivore eat the herbivore. Theres also a lush and complete world, with birds, insects and plants, etc... The most complete ecosystem/world ive seen in a mmorpg
- Realistic drops from mobs, i hate getting Swords from a squirrel.... In Ryzom you get, meat, bones, claws, skins, fur...
- Progression is based on a skill tree. There are 4 main skills (magic, fighting, harvesting, crafting) that developped in more (for exemple, magic splits in offensive and defensive magic at lvl 20, then offensive magic splits in offensive affliction and elemental magic at lvl 50, etc...).
- Duels : PvP fighting, you can ask anyone, everywhere, for a duel, if he accept the fight begin...
- Open PvP Arena... the name says it all.
- Groups PvP, guild vs guild battles for outpost or just for fun.
- The story evolve according to the action of the community.
- The game is between sci-fi and fantasy
- There is no class, you can lvl in all you want. But a jack of all trade is a master of none...
- There is no race specific stats, you choose your race according to the lore. Its great if your into roleplay or want a game thats is more immersing.
Give it a try, its worth it.

1- Raids are starting.
2- They are presently balancing the game, PvP should be a lot better.
3- Outpost and group PvP is in patch 2... in arround 3 weeks.
4- Encyclopedia is in, storry starts with patch 2, you got to be able to do group PvP and raid before the Story can start evolving. The story before that is avalaible at ryzom.com.
5- Im not the only one thinking that Ryzom is great for roleplaying... I know you're not a roleplayer from previous post you did, seems like your speaking wihout knowing what your talking about, again...
One warning to anyone wishing to try Ryzom, dont try it now. The patch 1 was a mess, they are fixing it quite fast (a patch each day since patch 1). Maybe wait a week, the game will be more fun and your experience will be more complete.
I could post when I think the problems in patch 1 are all fixed, if anybody interested...
Did they every fix the economy or is there still nothing to buy with money other than armor and weapons. Vendors should of been put in when it went live, but that wont fix the economy issue. There was no money sinks and nothing to buy. I was a crafter and had over 10 million dapers with noting to spend it on.
I cant believe its going to take another 3 weeks for patch 2. That will mean 2 months after the game went live before the story actually starts. I would wait for a few months before trying this game again. With their knee-jerk skill rebalance and character reset I would wait until they nerfings are settled...that is if they are still around.
I don't think they will be shutting down anytime soon. People keep saying that about a certain other MMORPG out there which is in far sadder shape than Ryzom could ever hope to get in ( I hope) which is still defying the majority of the folks wishes and is hanging on by a thread.
It will be interesting to see if Ryzom changes it's "Advanced Test Server" policy and allows everyone access to it vice just those who pre-ordered. As stated in another thread here, the pre-order crowd don't seem to spend a lot of time on the test server which in turn isn't allowing for a very good environment to see first hand and properly test the new changes. Maybe they can create an additional regular test server that can be accessed by all so the pre-order people can keep their advanced test server?
Got pie?

-no raids ..no outposts
That is not true. There have been two raids/invasions in the game so far and there are outposts all over the game. As this first patch is titled "introducing invasions" and they have already started to have live events to discuss a warning system for invasions between the races, it's very clear that invasions/raid will start to much mroe often on a regular basis.
-alota useless loot...almost every mob drops quest items no matter u finished that quest or not
quest items are useless if u finished the quest so u cant loot with option " take it all" ..its bug or implemented downtime..no idea
but dont liked it
This was corrected in patch one. Now the only loot that shows is the non-mission stuff you can sell or craft. If you have a mission and it requires items from killing a mob, then the game automatically places it into your inventory and lets you know.

Most of the problems with patch 1 are fixed. Its time to give it a try if your interested.
Yep, today is the good day to try this game
And Team vs Team has been implemented if you wanna do some hard PvP
i tried 14 day trial and after some hours i deleted the game again lol
donno but i was bored like hell, besides this game has really nice graphics and harvesting/crafting system but no interesting story or quests at all. there was nothing for me cause iam not such a harv/craft fan than maybe someone else do. i like a story and i like interesting quests...couldnt find that in this game. in my opinion this game isnt finish at all - just not my taste.
I am so sad.
i was REALLY looking forward to this game, read the background story, etc etc been following.
but i just now tried the 14 day trial... doanloaded, installed..
Me and GF are sitting down, made our first character... oohing and ahhing.
then.. - splat.
move? quests? instruction? story?
after a shaky start, i started the intro, and was told to go here and there to speak to people who all had scarily similar names.
the interface was clunky, and non-intuitive. The tasks were buggy (give items away, but they stay in my inventory)
i LOVED the graphics, and how the animals interacted with me and each other in a very convincing way
I so much want to see how the ecosystem works.
I couldn't have more than 1 quest active at once (if i can, please tell me how) i started on the harvesting quest, but abondoned it and wanted to do another, but the welcomer wanted to restart the whole painful process of introducing me to everyone again...
quit in frustration
i will try again in a day or so, hopefully it'll make a little more sense.
Through this, girlfriend walked away to go do the laundry....
she's atm playing eve, and was always hogging the compter during WoW beta.... with Ryzom she does laundry... sigh.

WoW has been in production for a few years. Gives anyone time to take note of the gameplay and style. Especially with the Beta's and informing webpages.
But I don't think it's anything like WoW. Not - at - all.
Saying SoR is like WoW is like saying all mmorpgs are the same. Ive been playing mmos for a long time, of course they are all similar.
Main difference between WoW and SoR
WoW :
Same tired old classes
Exp based with no to little customization allowed
Fantasy based
No innovation
Mindless character progression
SoR
No classes
Do what you want with your character
Sci-fi based
Raid engine allows attacks of town and outpost by groups of mobs
Stanzas allow you to customize every one of your action to your play style.
You may learn any skills, wich allows to put more brain in your progression.
SoR
no classes
yes all chars are more or less thesame and looking almost thesame
not much customisation ( both look and skills)
do what you wont with your charachter
isnt 100% true ..u r caped at 250 skill points in each tree
Sci-fi based
joke (magic swords..dragons..etc)...if so WoW is sci-fi based too ..they have some guns
Raid engine allows attacks of town and outpost by groups of mobs
not innovative at all endless ages alredy done attacks of towns
btw i have seen only one raid wich was no fun at all
in endless ages it was better
Stanzas allow you to customize every one of your action to your play style
not that innovative too
u can shange cast time for range...or range for cast time
nothing that big
You may learn any skills, wich allows to put more brain in your progression.
again u r caped at 250 lvls in each skill tree
sor is the same old school mmorpg with lil changes..like wow is
with much more bugs
promised futures dont work at all
SoR

1- LOL in my guild none have the same skill nor look the same. We all have a different role but yeah we can all play as nuker, healer, fighter, crafter and harvester but we all have our own specialisation. And we all look very different.
2- LOL ??? LvL cap are present in every mmorpg, whats your point ?
3- LOL they have sword and fantasy theme in SWG and AO and theres also tradionnal RPG with sci-fi and fantasy (Final Fantasy)
4- LOL they didnt even officially started and are getting revamped, they asked the opninion of each guild to do so. Did I say it was an inovation ?? no, i said it was a difference between SoR and WoW,
5- Name one other game with this system ? It allows you to costumize every one of your action (speed, sap cost, hp cost, range)
6- LOL ??? LvL cap are present in every mmorpg, whats your point ?
7- Promise are actually coming to life, are you still playing ? i know your not then what do you know about the game current situation after 25 patch ? (EDIT now 26 patch).
8- You too
I haven't installed the 14-day trial and I don't plan to for the foreseeable future. The most disappointed thing about Ryzom is the total lack of story and interesting quests. I can forgive all the other problems (and there are more) but until they change that I'm not going to waste any time on the game.
The story and interesting quests will be added in the next patch due out in a few weeks. I am 100% sure of this because there are already some on their test server.
