Well they appear to be not opening the door for new players..Bad move on there part as war and wow expansion coming and certainly i will try those rather then wait for the door to open..

Zelahe

can't wait to play i hope i can be in a guild

I cant remember my password or login name for either of my ryzom accounts crap lol

Finally! Step 3 has arrived. Meaning that all people who had a subscription in the past, can login and play again. (Yes, also the ones who stopped their subscription.)

It's not perfect tho; this unsubbed group cannot login to the forums yet.

Hopefully next step is that new accounts can be created...

New accounts on a new server.
 

I played Ryzom back in the day but left  because of low population. I have no interest in playing on an existing server though. I want to start fresh with a new crowd of players forging relationships and discovering the world and advancing their characters from beginning. If they announce a new server and advertise it, players will come.

With PvE raiding it has never been a question of being "good enough". I play games to have fun, not to be a simpering toady sitting through hour after hour of mind numbing boredom and fauning over a guild master in the hopes that he will condescend to reward me with shiny bits of loot. But in games where those people get the highest progression anyone who doesn't do that will just be a moving target for them and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay money for the privelege. - Neanderthal

I've heard a few people espouse a similar point of view, but it seems completely alien to Ryzom, at least to me. The "raid for shiny loot" doesn't exist. (mobs drop crafting materials or in some "boss" cases crafting plans) Players are not "targets" for anyone, except in consensual PvP. Random strangers will go out of their way to help you progress faster, not compete with you.

I've never heard of a Guild Leader favoring toadies with gear. In fact, until you get to high quality gear at the highest skill levels, virtually any gear you can use is free for the asking from any crafter. Any decent Guild Officer will bend themselves in knots to find suitable gear for any guild member and ask NOTHING in return. If you are experiencing something different, quit that guild immediately!

Simply put, basing your approach on experience with other games will only lead you astray. Ryzom ain't like [insert your other game here].

I'll issue everyone a challenge:
Join up, join a guild, play for a month. If you still feel like there's no fun for you among the people already there... well, you may be right. But for me, my first month among the people of Atys hooked me for life. And it wasn't on a new server.

There was a new server at the time. I even made a character on it. I simply had more fun with the people I met on the old server.

@Samuraisword - you played once before, so as of right now you can play for free. Come join me and maybe I can change your mind. My name is the same there.

What server is your guild on?  i would like to join even if i have to start over.  :)

As of now, there are three servers, one for each language.

English: Arispotle
French: Aniro
German: Leanon

I don't want to get my friends in other guilds mad at me, so I'll say that you should go play a little on the starter island before you even think of joining a guild. If you have troubles, ask in the Universe chat channel, and many helpful people will provide help.

Here's a list of most guilds, with links to guild websites where available. Sort of like that one in my sig... *wink*

aaaaand.... step 4 has arrived...

In short: a limited number of new accounts can be made, for new players, with no restrictions or level caps or something. In case you are too late, they said 'try again a bit later, as we might add more accounts to be made'.

edit: kinda makes me wonder how many steps there gonna be...

I need some help, please.

I recently downloaded and installed the Ryzom client without a hitch and was able to log into the game and play it. However, since I've logged off, I haven't been able to get back onto the game. I can log on and pick my character from the character selection screen just fine, but when I start loading into the game world, I get stuck at the same spot on the loading screen and I hear music skipping.

Any ideas?

uuuuhhh! Damn you made me think! That's not supposed to happen....
 
luckily there might be a solution; which i (re)found in the tech part of the ryzom forum:

I hope that works for you.

It's been a while now and I don't remember any of my account information as far as password, character name, or which credit card was used.

You might want to contact Ryzom's customer service. See here. They're the folks who can help.

ah Samuraisword... your signature is a bit confusing, I thought it was part of your post ;)

Several days ago I downloaded the game and then was able to log in and play for several hours without any problems.

The next day, I get error 3011 that says you need a proper subscription to connect.

I thought I would be able to play free until level 21 or some such thing?  Does this mean I have to subscribe now and there is no trial.

I looked on the forums at the error post that was stickied but I didn't see anything specifically addressing error 3011.

Do you have an old account Terra? Or are you using the Trials handed out now? I am playing on my old account (without subscription) and it's working fine. Haven't tried the trial obviously though.

I had started a trial account a long time ago, can't remember exactly when.  I never had a paid account, just a trial account.

I downloaded the game a few days ago from the main site.

Terranah, I've heard of a couple of other people having a similar trouble, but don't know how they resolved it.

I'm sure, though, that the customer service people will be glad to assist. Contact info here.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
