I absolutely agree. I enjoyed the complexity the Kitin Patrols brought to the game. And I always thought it was one of the best features because the animals on Ryzom are realistic in their behavior and the Kitin were meant to me tough, smart, and organized, it was a poor decision to remove them.
I remember when my mount was lost in Abyss and I organized an event to retrieve him. Not sure if you were there Rushin, but there was a good number of people, about 50ish, and everyone was wiped by the Kitin Patrol in the area. It was soo much fun and I did get my mount back, even with all the DP we acquired and the fact that there was no reward, everyone who participated commented on how much fun they had.
Your suggestions are quite good. I rather like the one about Kitins guarding the bosses. I would like to see a kitin lair in were the agro drops supreme mats that are rare and to avoid camping and raiding; they should be season oriented as well as random. I think the ring would be of better use in this way.

And this is where the 'wipe' argument turns circular. Not meaning to pick on you Seiren, just your post was the most recent.
No worries we are all here discussing the topic, I take nothing personal, and my post was me being sarcastic. A wipe of the characters is unlikely. It isn’t a concern. And I stated that several post before the one you quoted. I think Rushin was being sarcastic as well.
I will point out that I’m an old fan of Ryzom; my characters on Atispotle have levels in the 250 and not only on my main character. I know the hard work and journey of a character on Atys. I had characters divided in two accounts. My guild’s name is edge on the Kami temple in Pyr along the many guilds that fought during the Temple Wars. I have as much to lose as any other player who has been on Ryzom since 2005. I have a nice gold Aen Armor that is priceless for-yubos-sake.
The point was that a clean wipe would have to be well thought out giving Ryzom fans a fresh new world and that maybe with this third chance the developers can implement complete features. I think that’s what Rushin was stating and I agree with her.
I personally would love to get back to Atys and find it all new again, familiar, but nothing as I remember it. It may be selfish of me to want that, but it isn’t because I haven’t work hard and done the grind, I have and would do it again. I want Ryzom back and now that it has a third chance I want it improved and at its potential. That’s not asking too much, is it?

hope there is a wipe, and that's not coming from bitter new player who couldnt catch up :-)
but would really like to see some thought going into a relaunch, cant say i am convinced that just booting up the servers and letting all the die hard fans get on with it will do anybody any favours in the long run.
but meh, i only popped into mmorpg for old times sake, havent played any games for months. and now i find this bombshell. going to go back to sleep again until there is some concrete news.
ps kill the outposts until they can be put back in game to create fun not anger :)
I have to agree with Rushin. A wipe out and a fresh start would be the best direction as long as there is the feeling of a new game-world, may give the new owners enough time to work on those poorly implemented features and the chance of doing it right this time. Relocating mats and mobs shouldn't be too hard, and bringing back Kitin patrols would be a good idea.
The thought of those that have work so hard in foraging PR and other lands losing their levels and title is a bit scary. Maybe they can be compensated in other ways, like unique titles, rare armor and weapons. You know, the usual rewards given to beta testers.
But really, the idea of exploring Atys anew is exciting.
I don't think it will be a wype. And I really don't care. I haven't play a decent game since I left. I want Ryzom back.
This is a great thread to give players an idea of what Ryzom has to offer. The selection of videos does bring tears to those who have been there. Also, the perfect example of the Ryzom community is displayed on this thread.
Some good ideas have been suggested but I think nothing beats the experience of the mainland other than being there. I would suggest that players on Silan be given the chance to teleport to the mainland even if it’s only for a few days (maybe four days), this would give them the chance to find a trek and really see the world of Ryzom. Silan is after all an unlimited free trial which allows trial-members to leave when they feel they are ready, usually around lvl 25 or so. As it stood, until the servers where shut down, trial-members need to subscribe in order to get to the mainland, extending an additional four days on the mainland would increase the chances of those trial-members becoming subscribers IMO.
In your opinion, what kind of gamer are you?
