There was another server merge on the 12th November, why they keep adding new servers only to merge them again I'll never know. If you have a toon I'd advise you to transfer it to one of the new servers even if you are not currently playing to avoid any loses. Some players who did not transfer their toons in the previous merge for a long period of time lost their toons.

Everyone seems to think the new site is an improvment but to me the old site was far better than this one. The old one was messed up by the new owner by some poor video placement but I think the new site looks amatuer and has lost the Ryzom sparkle.

WHOA stop the presses...do you have any PROOF to back up these fallacious statements?

Other than you making quite a few references to having posted on here before this account, such as claiming that you were beating people at arguments on here "ages ago" within the same week as you creating the account?

OWNED

It's been a long time since I've done any missions in Ryzom and a long time since I've been on the started island. I know on some missions you can right click your compass, select mission and target the next NPC (in that stage of the mission) and point your compass to their location along side how far away they are. I really cant remember how many missions/ aspects this applys to or if it is ever bought up in any of the tutorials on the starter island? Just thought id bring it up for discussion

When you have less to work with you have to be more creative.

soooooo... where can I get one of those avatars?

With MMOs I always download the only thing the box is good for is the serial. Once you have used that its pretty much useless. MMOs update an awful lot too so discs will quickly become out of date.

Any other type of game I will purchase a disc for so I can lend to friends/trade/sell.

Ryzom great sandbox game. It's had its run of bad luck with awful owners running it into the ground but a new owner has taken the reins fixed most of the bugs and is beginning to add new content. Definately one to keep an eye on if your a sandbox fan.

STO looks pretty rubbish from everything I've seen so far. SWTOR has great potential. IP is hugely popular and it's backed by a great developer. I know star trek is also a huge IP but it has nothing on star wars.

Ryzom is amazing! You need a certain amount of wits and brain power to survive on Atys. It's not for all.

Population is a bit low atm but that can easily grow with time now that a decent owner is running the show.

A game every 2 years is too many? I don't think they milked Halo at all. They released several good games, and an RTS that was not made by bungie, but was part of the Halo story. ODST might be considered milking it due to the shorter game, but it does have all the map packs, and if you never cared to buy those packs then it is worth the money. Bungie does put a lot of effort into their games and perfecting the controls and multiplayer, and I believe they deserve credit for what they created. Might not be everyones favorite type of game, but I for one still prefer the feel of the multpayer over something like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Plus Bungie left Microsoft a while ago so they would have more freedom and make the games they want to.

Halo Map packs become free to download after they have been out for a number of months.

The whole website for that game is a load of crap if you ask me. Don't get me wrong I love the game and play it often but CCRs website sucks balls and runs like balls. The download was slow as hell for me and when it had finally downloaded the install file was corrupt so i had to go through the whole process all over again *sigh* I also found it impossible to download with Fire Fox and reluctantly had to use crappy IE. It seems the website is designed soley for IE.

IIRC the server is in Korea.

We need better websites hosting the installer. Not that CCR would link to them on their site but at least people could be pointed into better locations.

It really depends on what level you got to, the gameplay changes dramatically from 40 - 45 upwards. There has been loads of changes and updates since beta to make the gameplay less annoying (auto potting, thank god!). Also in this version you get Returnee weapons from the word go. The only requirement is to be lvl 1 and they basically have the stats of a lvl 40 weapon. This helps you quickly get through the first 40 lvls or so which are well... a pretty bland part of the game. Id suggest giving the game another spin and see how you like. Its free to play so you wont be wasting any dime if its still not the game for you.

I play ACC on chiron, we win a fair few CWs but I've also logged in to having the scar of defeat a number of times. So as far as I can tell its not one race owning all.

I'm ACC myself and was on Novus, chipwars where bad times. Now on Chiron I've seen ACC win a fair number of wars.  Like you said since the merge its nice to see HQ well populated and a mass of players all bundled at the AH. It's now much easier to get a team. I hear that if you log out then back in your storage should re apear. I hope this is true because I've not checked my storage and I also didn't take anything out before the merge!

I must admit I don't do a lot of reading in CCRs version so thats probably why I've not noticed many. My suggestion would be to give the game another try since the big update and see if they have managed to correct these.

The problem with Ryzom's econemy is that there isn't enough money sinks so dappers (game currency) have become worthless. If they can add more money sinks then the dapper would gain value and perhaps the econemy can stabalise. Dappers being worthless hasn't crippled the game though, players just trade raw materials instead.

As it stands Ryzom is a truely unique game and well worth a try.

How long ago has it been since you played? Are you talking about the codemasters version or CCRs? The game just recieved a large update could well be translation corrections there. So far in all my time of playing CCRs version I've not come accross many translation errors.

If your looking for something different try Ryzom the current free trial has been changed to 21 days and you are no longer restricted to the starter island you have full access to the game.

This is a skill based game not class based.

Enjoy :)

Cora (elfs in slutty outfits), Bellato (little kids that can drive big mechs), Accretians (robots that look like gun dam wing)

PVP everywhere (except race headquaters). Your race can kill any of the two other races on sight.

Chip Wars twice a day where all three races battle it out in the crag mine field to destroy one races chip (small structure) Destroying another races chip earns that race the right to mine (can be sold to make lots of dollar)
