Played alot of MMOs in the past 20 years or so and Ryzom was one of the best. The only problem I see is that is has gone a bit stagnant. same christmas event this year as last year. same bosses killed the same way by people who have found the "best" recipes for items and have the main skills maxed out.

I am no expert or anything but it seems to me that the game needs new content, maybe a higher level cap and new areas would do it. seems to work for other games.

Because your basically right this is true for vet players of this game who played it fior years and know it in and out. For the new player it offers a lot of content for months of time.
