Ryzom

My laptop (3-4 years old now): Alienware 5700 with 17 inch 1900x1280 screen Pentium M 1.73GHz 2 GB of Ram NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 ST910021 AS SCCI Disk 100GB Running Windows XP SP3 Verizon FiOS hi-speed broadband internet connection Ryzom runs well once loaded but it takes about 4-5 minutes to boot ...

I will go for the lifetime sub on one account because I'd like to help Ryzom out. I don't think you'd be asking if you didn't need it now. And I have been playing for a long time for free.

This is wonderful news! And I'm still hoping for the 1 August, 1300 re-opening

No clue. Just my guess of 01 August 2008 at 1300 (GMT) in the string asking for guesses.

Agree - a definition of 'soon' would be nice - and possibly an estimated date of Ryzom's return

No - not if the cost is that the game becomes quest-driven or if it changes the emphasis on crafting by allowing drops other than materials used in crafting. If I want that I can just go back to WoW.

How about a compromise - open the servers back up today and allow old characters to return, upon request, mid-December. That would give everyone a chance to get re-acquainted with the game on new characters. And it would allow the old-timers to return at a more appropriate time.

The game may not keep me amused for 3 or more years, but the Rogue may
