[drcole22]

Looks like the patch for the first part of the major content is on the 14th December.

A brief description is found on the news section of the main ryzom site.

Anyone on the ATS care to give a tad more info on these changes.....?

this is what it said

There will be a major patch on December 14th. This patch provides a number of improvements to the game and introduces the first of the three sets of Chapter 2 features.
The patch highlights include :
- Three major new 'bosses' who, when defeated, yield unique new equipment to their opponents
- New hairstyles and tattoos available from the NPCs about town
- Theme music for the different towns
- New 'tougher' pack animals available from the merchants capable of withstanding the attacks of bigger adversary
- A set of important landscape collision improvements for the Fyros territory
- A revamp of the parry systems and of shields in the game
- A first set of improvements to range combat
- A revamped graphics for some of the common scenery in towns and villages
- In-game mails and forums - having been absent for some weeks, these are now back
- A set of features for events that include event chat channels, faction-based PvP, and more.

ooo sounds like plenty of nice stuff, but it'd be a first for any mmo (to my knowlegde) to put in this much of what players have requested ya ok im in a skeptical mood.. dang its cold here...

Ooooo, event chat channels sound very useful indeedy

Improvements to ranged weapons also sound very interesting...

However, you're right - this info is no longer displayed on the homepage!

sounds cool

[borg9]

sounds cool

Not only does it sound cool but, the news is back on the main site...!

3 patches - loads of stuff in each one !

Shame that all the people who left because, there was no content are going to miss out on all the lovely patch goodness!

Unique Items - to keep the Diablo fans happy

Hair and tatoos - for the 'fashion' crowd

Bigger boss mobs - to challange the fighters

Music - for the people who wanted 'atmosphere'

Hard mekkies - for the roving merchants

chat channels - for the noisey ones.

The first part of this 3 patch Extravaganza, forfills most of the requests by players.

what can I say other than WOOT!

Looks at those who wanted more content, and says ... here ya go this what you want?

[dazman76]

I think we should start a re-recruitment drive, if anyone is interested?

Once we have some of this patch content, we could all get in touch with old friends who left (if possible), and let them know what they're missing. I for one would desperately like to see some old friends back again, and this could well be the reason for their return!

Congrats to Nevrax, here's hoping Chapter 2 lives up to our (massive) expectations!
