Hola!

[h3yz3us]

My name is Kyle, and I just started Ryzom. I'm currently about to start the free trial and thought I'd say hi. I'm a humongous Seahawk fan (I write for the Seahawks site, Seahawks.Net) and a MMORPG veteran (AC1 and 2, EQ1, DAoC, SWG, WoW, GW with brief trysts into Horizons, AO, UO, DDO, and SB) this game looks like a real good one. I love the skill system already... reminds me a little of AC1, which is my alltime favorite game but it's dieing and the graphics are last century (literally! =P)...

So yeah, I figured I'd say hi. I'm normally very active in the community and I love to chat, and the community here looks extremely friendly. Any little tricks of the trade that you've learned would be super appreciated, other than that hope to see some of you guys in Atys...

(good lord I sounded like a cheerleader in that post. I blame the colorful page, brings out my happy side =P)

Hey welcome to Atys! If you haven't done so already check out this comic-style intro guide to the newbie area, it helps with any initial disorientation. There's a lot to take in, but if you follow the 4 trainer NPC's quests in that area you will get a good taste of all 4 branches of the skilltree.

I'm pretty new and the people here are super!

EDIT woops guess it helps to link the link I was mentioning http://www.ryzom.com/documentation/Manuals/ruins_of_silan_starter_guide.pdf/view

Welcome to Atys!

I can't think of any real 'tricks' that come to the top of my mind, except maybe... Remember you can mark places on your map! Don't be afraid to cover it with little purple flags, at least until you can memorize certain things.

Otherwise, keep your arms and legs inside your armor and avoid things that look lanky and run fast. They tend to eat you. Except maybe Zorai. It's too hard to fit your parts through their mask-mouths.

What?

No, really. Welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Here or via a /tell in game.

Thanks. I'll be sure to read the NPC comic.

Stupid newbie question, but I can't find a definitve answer... Does race impact what career paths? IE, can a Fyros can be as capable a magic-user as a Tryker, or Zorai, etc? I don't get too caught up in the stats game but just curious.

Thanks
Kyle

Does race impact what career paths?

Simply: no.

Welcome. *huggle*

Certain avian bones make handy straws!

Actually I believe the mask to have a certain flexibility, if you look at the sample animation in character creation you will see the eyes widen and the mouth fairly expressive. We Zorai are simply more calm in our demeaner than our more excitable cousins.

*looks wise and fair*

[h3yz3us]

Haha you guys are characters =P

Glad to know I wont be the lone looney one. About to go in game, patches are done... Fyros to start... I live in WA and it's been flooding, I could seriously go for some heat right now.
