I have also read that the game has not been developed much since the original company went bankrupt so there aren't very many quests. The more you lag, the more you slow down. I can't tell you how very, very, frustrating this is. An interesting, but annoying, aspect of Ryzom, is that when you lag your character moves in slow motion. I was lucky enough to start in a time when the lag had temporarily cleared and got to experience the game as it was meant to be. Lately, the game has been unplayable due to lag. This has led to several problems in the game, one being massive lag and downtime. There are several groups interested in buying it but whether they will or not is still undecided. The original company that owned this game went bankrupt, and now the game is in limbo. The players I have chatted with have been mostly friendly and intelligent, the only people who've ignored me have been other newbies on newbie isle.Ĭons: Nothing is perfect, including Ryzom. Don't be afraid to ask questions in universal chat. There are many aspects of this game that might be a little confusing at first, so you will need help with them. I hated it when I started, but then I learned to use modifiers I realized how great it could be. Prospecting is like playing a game of marco polo one that rewards you in riches. Gathering is also fun because there are so many variables to it. There are so many different ways to make items, because there are so many different materials which affect different aspects of defense (like dodge or parry, slash or pierce etc.), and you can also learn skill modifiers for crafting that infuse your items with HP, mana, etc. Everything is made by players (and signed by them) and resold by NPCs. They're poorly implemented, don't contribute much to the game, and aren't fun to do. There are other skills to learn, too, like gathering and crafting. Cool, eh? The PVP an PVE potential is enormous with this. You can apply all of them, or pick and choose the ones you want depending on the situation. There are lots of modifiers to learn, and different levels to each of them. Later, change your mind and remove the range modifier to save mana. and you can edit your skills and change the way they work! Want to increase your casting range? Well, simply learn the cast range modifier and edit the spell you want to increase in range. The characters, world, and everything are all so unique, you will not play another game like it. In screenshots I thought it looked so-so, but once I logged in I was pleasantly surprised. What a mistake that was! I have now maxed out all the newbie skills on newbie island and am waiting to see whether the game will be picked up again before I pay. We need normal people to play again.Ĭomment: I put off trying this game because of the difficult client downloader (please guys, a single file download is better for those of us with high-speed connections) and because I'd never heard of it. For some people this game is more real to them than real life, and some of the drama that goes on in this game brings a whole new meaning to the word "ridiculous." Please do not hesitate from trying the game, but bring your friends. They are friendly enough, but once you get to know the people in this game you will be disturbed by the unhealthy behavior. What we have left over is a community full of emotionally needy people who cling to this game like it is a life raft in a sea of despair (aka real life.) Needless to say, coming into this environment is not very attractive to the new player who just wants to try it casually. Because of all the issues with the game dying, and being revitalized only to die again, all the sane people have left. The issue now is that the community is completely stagnant. And would love this game to make it and rise up the ranks of truely awesome mmos.Ĭomment: Update on the game: It has now been picked up by yet ANOTHER company and at the moment is F2P. Saddly it wasn't advertised and went unnoticed by so many ppl who could have loved it and helped make it truely shine. The secrets of the past have been lost, but the Saga of Ryzom has just begun.Ĭomment: This was an extreme good and unquie game. Join forces with thousands of others, master the arts of sorcery, war, and tradecraft, and re-forge the destiny of your people. Three generations ago, the proud civilizations of Atys perished in the Great Swarming, when hordes of Kitins swept from the Prime Roots and wrought war and genocide.
