Ryzom

Despite it's weaknesses, Ryzom has three major strengths that are just too awesome to ignore: The harvesting, crafting, and skills system. No other MMO I've played even comes close. The complexities and nuances of the craft system, while still remaining very simple at the core, is just incredible ...

The PM function is not working for me as well, and I think the problem may be that our accounts are flagged as under 13 accounts (I'm quite a bit past 13 ;) ). If you go to User CP, then Edit Profile, the following message appears in the top box (labeled COPPA Information) on the screen: When you ...

I'm still very much a total noob to Ryzom, and haven't had experience with taking down higher level NPC type mobs, but wouldn't it make sense for all of the gear carried by a NPC mob to be lootable? That's one of the things that I carry over from my tabletop AD&D days... if you kill an enemy NPC ...

Taking a Paladin role is possible, but there are some important differences from other MMO's: Casting in heavy armor is a fairly bad idea because of the malus, and having amplifiers equipped is a necessity, as a good pair will add a good amount of healing, and lower your cast time significantly ...

You can only buy them once you've come over to the mainland. There's no vendor to buy one from on Silan. Once you have acquired one though, your packer's inventory will show as another tab on your inventory window (which you can right-click to put into a seperate window). In order to move stuff to ...

So I'm an even newer newb, given that I am still downloading the client. The game sounds great, but I can't seem to find any info regarding the differences between the free trial and the subscription. What content do you have access to in the free trial? How much more do you get with a paid account ...

A note on /AFK'ing... in most games, if you're grouped with someone who's AFK, you will still get the group rate XP (less than what you'd get solo) and treasure will still split in the usual way. In Ryzom, if I'm grouped with a friend who's AFK and I kill a monster, I get all the loot and the same ...

It's a side effect of Digital Watches.

That insane banter looks familiar... Did you perhaps play a crazy little Gnome in "another MMOG"?

I'm an ex-WoW player, have been playing now for about a month or so, and love it. Once you get out to the ML, the missions become much less specific to certian skill trees. I have yet to find a "class" specific mission which will award XP and items like the ones you get from the four NPC's in noobie ...
