Ryzom

The bit about offering players the "possibility" seems to me a clear signal it will be an optional addition. I read this as more of a return of the ideals of the original and more dynamic fame system, and more importantly the optimist in me reads this announcement as stateing that the Saga storyline ...

I'd go with Perofect.

I am not talking about stuff "leaked" by Nevrax, I am talking about words and terms. There was a real Atys, there is a real goo theory, there are lexicons from tribes that have terms and names used in the game. I am talking about the source ideas used for the themes and creative structure of Ryzom ...

Well Sam, I don't feel it has to make sense, I feel it needs to be consistent with the Pero persona. Pero does not see gray, it is all black and white, he chooses a path and refuses to see any branches off of it. It takes an intersection with no straight lines to get him to veer, and even then he ...

Well those are my words not Pero's, there is a difference. I chose the name from the latin, meaning malformed, and since he is Perofect on the outside his issues run a bit deeper. As egocentric as both me and Pero are, I really doubt readers of these boards want a motivational review of choices made ...

I don't want to come across as argumentative, but I am not sure I am getting my point across in this conversation. I doubt it is much of a stretch to say that Pero is considered by many to be one of the most devout followers of the Karavan. If a viable Homin led faction came into being, he would ...

I think if a Homin based faction is developed before the "giant douche" and "turd sandwich" conflict is played out, there is no reason to have a factional conflict at all. I think these boards are proof enough that everyone will go to the "neutral" faction, since every thread devolves into pleas for ...

That would never work in reality. As said, it would tear the community apart and cause massive harassment of players of the other (especially the weaker) faction in order to prevent them access to anything at all. I would set the mechanics as such that access could not be denied by other players ...

So you want to make it where you cannot go places depending on whether you're kara or kami, and that the current ballance of power between the two determines what those places are? Yes, I do. However, I want those restricted areas to be new areas. I think one of the biggest plot flaws in the ...

And the more faction determines what you can do and where you can do it, the more strife and grief will develop, with people trying to ensure that their faction is the upper dog and the other utterly destroyed. That is a very probable reality of what would happen if things stay the same. However ...
