Because free 2 play means free to start playing and once ur into it around half way up the levels it turns into 20-30 bucks a month to get anything done. So that Free 2 play game just forces you to depend on a item mall to progress because all of them have to make money some how, Sure there maybe ways to do it without the cash shop thats an old argument bottom line if u dont use it after a certain level in EVERY free 2 play game you cant compete and you cant succeed.

I think Ryzom is certainly one of the better MMOs. But as others said, it's not going to stay f2p - not for long, anyway. And the reason why not everybody is "all over this", is that the game is not as intuitive to play as say WoW. You need to read the tutorials to actually understand what you are doing (like creating your own spells and crafting etc). Being a sandbox, it does not tell you how to play per se - which most people expect and want. Also, it has been around for a long time already - many have tested it previously and found it unappealing, or don't care for the art direction, or whatever. Unlike a newly released title, there is simply no hype for ryzom (which is what gets most people to try a game, I suppose). Personally, I find it refreshing and hope that it will be able to stay afloat this time around.

Unlike some of you I really don't care if a game is "free" to play are not. Most of these games suck up many hours of your life on a weekly basis. Given that fact why should I care if I'm paying a pittance of $15 bucks each month? I'm already paying far more in other ways. Think of what you could do with that time if you weren't playing. Ok fine, its entertainment you say. But at least value your time in the equation. A pay to play game "should" have much better content and support and if I'm going to spend all those hours, I'll spend it on a good product.

Sourajit Novice Member Joined: 3/21/07 Posts: 200 Lets try it.	9/09/08 6:32:55 AM#16 Report this post Explain why you are reporting this post: (750 characters max.) Saga Of Ryzom is now free to play and before this happened I tried the game. Somehow the game felt weird and I felt out of place. The skill system is a bit complicated and to develop a good skill it takes a lot of experimenting. I could not find a way to get away from the starting place and more so it was difficult to spot NPC?s. Back in 2004 when it was pay to play I tried the trial and the same feelings came in. Surely with the Atlantica Online, WAR and other betas I have no time to give it a shot. But once I am done I will surely take a look and see if the game is enjoyable. Cheers Sourajit Nandi " Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't play this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind,and you'll never whine or repent about gaming hours anymore, then have a go at every Game. Open up the Internet, join in all the Mmorpgs you can. Go make the Guild. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible. " Once An Addict Always An Addict .

I'll gladly take good and complete crafting and outpost control over Warhammers party quests and RvR. You're not missing out in SoR and I won't miss out in WAR for not playing it.

Personally, I find it refreshing and hope that it will be able to stay afloat this time around. I disagree with the position that Ryzom is one of the better MMOs out there. While sandbox concept is somewhat murky in its defnition I am not convinced that is a main reason for Ryzom not being a popular choice. From my experience the game shows its age and contains various bugs and issues. I found that the game design is lacking above and beyond customization of skills. In conclusion my opinion is that Ryzom is avoided due to its shortcommings and not due to it being a sandbox. This is not 2004 any more, if it was the game might have the future but I doubt enough fresh blood will flock to it and keep it afloat.
