I took a break from Ryzom a few months back. Only a couple of weeks before server merge I think it was.
The reasons for this break was partially boredom and partially some personal issues I'd rather not discuss here.
During this break I had time to try out some other mmorpg:s. One of them supposed to be one of the big ones. All these games exceled in one particular thing... "Content" (with "content" I mean mainly quests).
There was content to the brink of sillyness in one of them. You got to the point where you'd rather watch a movie than play since the freedom and possibilty to change any outcome was about the same... on top of that, none of the content in any of these games bore even the slightest hint of originality...
Ryzom does not have alot in the ways of content... it does not need to. I know some people even scowl at the word alone.
Ryzom has a world and a system that allows you to play the way you want. You do not have to be one of a thousand copies running around doing the exact same quests to see the exact same ending...
So, this is my "Im coming back"-post.
I realised that there is no other game I have ever had so much fun in. The boredom I experienced a few months back was just natural from having played the game almost every day since launch (hey, I even get bored when rehearsing with my band sometimes... and Im supposed to have a passion for our music
).Atys is the place I want to be in... it's a place were you can be free.
ps. These are personal observations and Im not trying to force them upon anyone. Everyone has a right to their own opinion... I just activated my "aura of happiness"... hope it helps...
