- Simple Poll to see who will return and the new players that wanna play!
Whether I come back to it or not depends on many factors.
1. If I can get my old character back.
2. The intentions of the new owners.
3. The way it seems the game might be developed.
4. The cost.
5. Whether the PvP rot is endemic or not at reboot.
So we shall see.

IMO Ryzom needs to recognise what it is in order to succeed.
A niche, long-term investment game that is - and should be - about the role-playing, rather than trying to play catch up with the big boys.
Event-led plotline was a good idea, the Ring was an excellent idea, it just needed rewards to encourage people to use it , it was a great tool for the GMs to make story for the players too. Just needed a bit more work.
Invasions were never used enough.
A lot of what they brought in reeked of desperation and a lack of understanding of what Ryzom was or had become, PvP you couldn't escape, quest lines that outstripped crafted items, 'gambling' machines. Make it the premier RP game on the market and you'll grab a niche nobody else has and carve out a loyal, long term fanbase that doesn't depend on all these other things.

Not exactly, but have written some stuff that's being converted for it.
Yeah, I know, WoW, but we avoid the PvP and it's mostly just a conference call once a week :)

Guess I'll be keeping an eye on this, but I got pressganged into playing WoW by some friends I don't see otherwise and I'm currently playing LOTRO. I guess it depends what they do to//with Ryzom.
