Players leaving/giving up = killing Ryzom easier

[browserice]

Ok, I just have to say this. I know about the sad news shaking the whole Ryzom community (who doesn`t). But what makes me even more sad is seeing all those new threads saying Good bye or players quiting.

In my opinion, Ryzom isn't dead and there is no indication that GF will kill it.

BUT, if players keep quiting and leaving this game, how many do you think are gone be left when whomever picks up Ryzom looks at the community ? Would you be willing as a company to start investing into a game where about only 50 people play ?

The more people leave and quit, the easier Ryzom is going to be killed for good.

If you truly want to see Ryzom stay alive, then don't leave, keep playing. Show them that you still believe in Ryzom by saying "Hey, I'm still playing and are all these people !"

Doing 1000 forum posts telling GF to not kill Ryzom isn't enough. Keep playing.

If you really want to quit, then it just shows that you do not care about Ryzom.

As long as you see my posts - I'm still around, you won't be alone at the very end and I bought some ben and jerrys today so we can picnic

Quoted for emphasis, even though I'm hypocritically not playing at the moment. However, excepting the free time everyone's been given of course, my subscription is still active.

Point is, there needs to still be a community if Free Ryzom Campaign or someone else rescues the game.

It is entirely understandable that people are looking at their options and generally preparing for the worst. But keep in mind that the worst still isn't a certainty at this point.

im pretty sure once the lag is fixed more people will log on.

[teylini]

I'll gladly play (a few hours a day) once/if the lag goes away.

TBH I have been inactive (not playing but sub been paid) for the last few weeks and was planing on staying this way for another 3 to 6 weeks at least. It doesnt mean i have no hope or no love for ryzom it means that my love for atys and the people i share my time with on it is so great that i give them the chance to hurt me. I give them the chance of making me a bitter *******... Just ask some people that know me and seen it happen to me.

As of now with this recent news... i am quite sad about the idea of atys being gone, to never be able to return to such a place that i have called my home. A place where i have experienced alot, where i have made life long friendships with some and spew more curses then i can count at others. But I realize everything must come to a end. If this is the end of ryzom in 3 weeks of so, so be it... I will carry on and hold the memories of the great times i have had, i will try my best to stay in contact with my friends and i will continue to live and grow.

And well on some notes i rather see the game go out in this sense then to continue to have the urge to log in and spend so much time in atys. To never be able to truly escape atys... to be gone for personal reasons and not wanting to play but still end up talking about it to my friends. The end of atys will bring me closure and i think it will do the same for others as well... Just cant spend to long in the game with out starting to lose what you have gained...

Im not planning to quit, but if worse does come to none of us will have a choice. Taking advantage of the Lag issues to go and get more homework done that I should be doing rather than play "video games"

*starts getting the Ryzom shakes*

I will keep logging in, even if maybe just in the ring, to be with these people I love and cherish very much. Ryzom is the only game I enjoyed enough to accept paying for. Mostly because of the homins that populate it. Because if it wasn't from them, I would have been bored real quick, like any kind other computer game I played before. But Ryzom is unique, I still haven't see most of what it has to show me. Damn ! I haven't even been in Lakelands, yet !

I just cross my fingers for them to fix this lag, because I don't want this game to end in such a painful agony. I want to play until the very end of it and enjoy it at its full potential. I want to see this world, in case it vanishes. I want to see Darkmoors !

I just hope this end is just a pause before Ryzom gets bought and relaunched, and there will probably be such a pause, considering the fact that 3 weeks is a very short period of time and the new owner has to settle down and organize himself to get Ryzom running again. Maybe there won't be much new development, if any... for a long period of time. But isn't it better having Ryzom alive than no Ryzom at all ?

Don't think that anyone one give up, but hard to play with such lag And also after 3 weeks if servers will be shut down we will anway watch for Ryzom Reborned

[gcaldani]

We don't want to quit, for sure, but having now something different from last year bankrupcy: the game is unplayable, it's equivalent to a turn off of the servers.

The problem today is that *devs* and *people from Free Ryzom* now don't want any Hype from the players as happened last years....

I don't think it's impossible or illegal to reboot servers, they just don't want to.

They don't want another company go buying the game.

You understand why.
