Ryzom

For me, most striking resemblance to Ryzom was the night jungle on Pandora, very similar to Primal Roots.

Everything is about motivation. Ryzom owners should motivate players (from whom are volunteers hired, like CSR were, if I am not mistaken) to organize these events regulary. So if you log into Ryzom for few hours, you will encounter one. That means like 3 events a day. I do not know what agreement ...

Well, it *should* be ordinary. As ordinary as "I need some PR mats, hiring escort, everyone gets share of materials gathered", for example. Then it is so simple almost everyone can organize it. Most of these events should take advantage of existing content. There are lot of (possibly dangerous ...

In the discussion I recently had I came across an older idea of Mini Events - so here you are, feel free to polish the idea. Description: ========= Mini Events are GM led quests, similar to large-scale events everyone knows. The difference is they are very small, and more frequent. Mini event is ...

Chybisek, I have thought about all that and as a result I've written (here and on MMORPG.com) many thousands of words about Ryzom and the challenges faced by it. WoW quests and similar vapidities are wrong for Ryzom. I was paid for doing similar research (not for Ryzom though). Balance of achiever ...

I am afraid I was not able to communicate my thoughts properly, so better than starting an argument about what and how Ryzom (or MMOs generally) should work, I will back off. Just few last bits... - Yes, it is foolish to make competition with large players. But... - Constant stream of events ...

I agree with you all, basically. But you are missing one point. Count yourselves - neither me, neither you are majority player base of MMOs, which SW *needs* to make any money to keep this game running. So, as I don't like quests which do not change anything, etc. etc., you named it already, there ...

However we need badly an event team active and a lore reviewed and present on official site. Don't really think this is expensive or hard to do. Can start in small steps, it's time it started already. Well, it is the hardest part in game development ever. And I dare to say it is the reason why ...

I will, no matter what, just to support the game I like. But I really hope there *will* be new content - quests and story mainly.
