Few Questions..

Post by yoyoyoy »

Okay so I have been looking at Ryzom for a while and saw the free trial thing. So I did the free trial thing and clicked on Pay by cash since I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy yet, well since I did that, once the trial is down, will my account stop on that day until I pay?

1)Also, about the game, is there any PvP? I am a big fan of PvP and was wondering.

2)Are there many new players in the newbie towns(if there newbie towns) so I can find a group?

3)Is there a strong learning curve to play?

4)What does each server have unique(ex. one has a good community or another has a lot of people, etc.).

Thanks!

There are three servers, based on language. Arispotle is English, Leanon German, and Aniro French. If you can write French I've heard Aniro has the population of Arispotle and Leanon combined, since Ryzom has more presence in France.
Jelathnia, Kasarinia, KianShi, Maethro, ShuaLi, and OPaxie (Arispotle)
TeiJeng (Leanon)

There is a lot of PvP. It's complex in its politics, so it's not just one side vs. another side.

Leave the "newbie island" you land on right away and it will teleport you to your race's capital city. There are tons of people in each capital city at all hours of the day and night. You may find people with whom to group there.
yoyoyoy wrote: 3)Is there a strong learning curve to play?

Yes. The game is appealing to many for its complexity. The curve is pretty steep. It's not so steep that you're totally lost (anyone can pick up a weapon and start hacking away at a MOB), but you'll find you have a lot of questions real quickly, even if you're a hardy, veteran MMORPG'er.

What keeps people in this game is its community, however. Ask a million questions and this community will give you 4 million answers. :)

hi :)

unsure about the pay by cash but with cards u will automatically subscribe at end of trial, so best to make sure how it works now -)

1) Yes, lots of work done on it last few months and it's turned out (fairly) balanced and fun now.

2) depends what u mean by many oO, plenty though. come to mainland and shout in region for help/teams. also different races are more or less populated. in a most->least order is probably matis/fyros/tryker/zorai but dont let that put u off as u can always bum a place in a trip to another land

3) yeps, very (in a good way)

4) language, the story has diverged slightly on the different servers and has the possibility to do so more. but unless ur multilingual stick to aristople

5) happy new year!

Yes a Paybycash trial will stop on the last day until further action is taken, unlike a credit card one where the billing is automatic unless cancelled.

Welcome yoyoyo! yup i think they all answered your questions pretty good :)

sure u could leave newb island immediatly, but idk personaly i like newbie island and miss it at times - its fun to grow up there first.. and then leave once the yearning for friendship drives you to the mainland (however if your on ur trial, GET OUT NOW!!!! LOL)

Nightblade, at your service! i'll be happy to help if your ever around Pyr or Oflovak's Oasis, you'll most likely run into me making a ruckus and arguing with the local stable-boy about the horrible prices on his lodgings :) (Fyros lands, that is!)

o yea and lemme warn you - those Matis ppl can be really tricky! dont trust a single one of em! the rest of us are ok tho - joining a guild will also get you WELL ON YOUR WAY to PvP and wars galore!

see you in-game!
