  • Woohoo! Welcome!

    Wonderful to hear from someone who approaches the game with a mind open to possibilities. Hope to meet you in-game soon!

    Cheers,
    Sasi

    P.S. I'm jealous of your screen resolution. My poor little lappy feels like peering through a porthole now...

    It's the old "make your own fun" vs. "enjoy quality pre-programmed fun" thing. Neither is better or worse, just some people like one better than the other. That's why there are different choices. (and thank goodness for that!)

    Best of luck in your future adventures. :)

    How long you been playing again?

    He's been playing for several years, and in my experience he's closer to correct than the small number I've heard complain about some sort of elitist attitude. It is true that during a short few weeks this year the normally very hospitable and polite community got overrun by a very large number of new players, many of whom did not have clear understanding of what to expect from what they seemed to consider a "new F2P game", nor did many of them respect the standards of the community and in particular the standards for the Universe Chat channel, which is intended solely for answering questions about immediate game matters, and not for lengthy diatribes or arguments.

    During that time some people got short tempered and blew up at having to repeat the same conversation for the Nth time, with people who insisted that because they didn't like a certain game mechanic, the game was "crap", or some variation of that. Most of the people displaying that "elitist" attitude were not actually veteran players, but there is no way for a new player to know that. And a few actual veterans displayed behavior not normally tolerated, as well.

    If you were to visit again today, you would find that there are still some raw feelings from that experience, but by and large the community has returned to its norm, and people who act childishly are fairly quickly taken to task by the community and the moderators.

    See there you go again a true Ryzom fanboi with that holier than thou attitude and with that, I'll just re-state my last comment,
    "it's this one track minded response's that the Ryzom fanboi's give" that put me off of playing this game. "

    While Mach may have crossed the line a touch with his emotional comment, his argument was fairly logical. Certain actions have been adjudged by the GMs to be exploiting. If you engage in those activities, and someone points it out to you, you should probably take it as a favor that they are helping you avoid unpleasant consequences. We've discussed this particular matter already, regarding terrain features, so I won't belabor it, other than to say that I've never found the rules of the game to be burdensome. If someone was less than pleasant in their comments to you, all I can do is offer my apologies and assure you that the vast majority of us do no such thing.

    In fact I can state quite strongly that it's the holier than thou attitude from the fanboi's that put's me off of this game and not the lack of jump or the ability to use normal combat tactic's, it's the persecution for just asking about it or wanting to talk about it that makes me sick of Ryzom and stop's me coming back and playing on.

    It's quite apparent that you tried the game, and someone or a few someones got on your nerves. It's equally apparent that you are generalizing your anger to a whole community, and by extension to the whole game. It is no surprise that not everyone is going to enjoy a given game, for any number of reasons. Your complaint is a valid point of information, and I can assure you that the Ryzom community has recognized some problems and is actively rectifying them. I hope you enjoy whatever activities you pursue now, and perhaps someday you'll be of a mind to come visit us again, and I hope if that happens you'll have a better experience.

    Speaking only from my own experience, and leaving out the hundreds, perhaps thousands of glowing reports others have given about the community in Ryzom, I can say that in no other MMORPG that I have tried, and I have tried many, have I found a community as welcoming, helpful, polite, and mature than the community in Ryzom. I'm truly sorry that you are among the few who experienced otherwise.

    I also hope that I can serve as a counterargument, and perhaps serve as an example of what the "real" Ryzom community is like. I'm in no way exceptional in the community, except perhaps in my willingness to spend my time here in the den of flames.

    Come back for a visit some time, I'd be more than happy to team up for some silliness or other.
