What Is Ryzom?

[rajron]

I thought it would be a good idea to have a single thread with links to vids and guides for people who have managed to stumble onto this forum. Game information and other things to give everyone an idea of what Ryzom is about.

Here is a short list of links posted throughout the thread:

Player Made Guides to give you a better idea how game-play works.

Saga of Ryzom Beginner’s Guide by Kethry - which includes images of the action bars - aka 'Hands'.

An open Letter to all new Players by Acridiel. - a good place to start.
(Acridiel's Vids can be found here.)

Adatabasededicated to all things Ryzom.

(to save space and avoid insulting anyone I missed: you can find quite a few fan vids on Youtube by searching for "Ryzom")

Also, check out:
Ballistic Mystix a guild offering an open - and very helpful resource to all players. Including:
Skill Tree - An explination of how the levels work.
Interactive Map - Plan your first trek!
Beasties that bite/spit/slap/shock/burn... and all the named and bosses that you will end up loving/hating/baiting.
Mats (crafting materials) and their stats - here recipes are invented by the player - not learned from the trainer.
Dressing Room a great place to 'discover' the wonderful fashions of Atys.




Feel free to explore the forum on your own. Our trolls are well-behaved - just don't feed them after midnight


note to all: this post will be edited constantly - feel free to request changes, correct names and spelling... um... what am I getting myself into?

'we love feedback - even the kind we hate'

It sounds like a good idea.
I was hooked by checking out the original Ryzom site a looong time ago, they had great videos and presented the story of the game in a very compelling way.
Im sure the dedicated fans of this game can do an even better job.

Well, first place to look is here, for some gorgeous pics of Atys.
As far as videos go, there are some old trailers from the VCA, Acri's videos, of course... I'm sure there are more to be found on YouTube, but I have this strange urge to get dressed before I have to go catch the train.

And don't forget the player made guides forum, and this little overview by Kethry.

Now that I'm back, and can remember how to spell the URL...
BM! Particularly the Skill Tree if you're interested, the map, the mob (fauna) and mats (crafting materials) databases, and the much-loved dressing room.

Damnit, now I'm planning yet another set of new HA...

[rajron]

can't believe I forgot everyone's friends at BM ;P

oh... while you're on that new HA... *tries to remember what piece she was missing*

[acridiel]

This collection of Atys´ best videos might help too
