Tree of Ryzom 2nd try

[vinnyq]

do you mean the tree as in the one tree that is atys?

My theory is that Atys was just a regular planet that got somehow imprenated with the seeds of a great tree (Ryzom), and that this tree is spreading out all its branches and is trying to empregnated other planets within its reach.

Danu, get to those HQ armors and we will go exploring

I managed to explore Darkmoor, and there are MANY "sky branches" that touch the ground in a way that you can get onto them and explore them.

Things I have noted is several of them take you to a cave or two that LOOKS like a future zoneline portal kinda thing for future expansion. I have not noticed ANY mobs on them, I have noted a few trees on them, normally on the sides. I still have yet to make the screenshot buttons work, or I would re explore them and cough out a few dozen screenies of what I saw looking off them, on them and around them.

And YES, Atys...as far as everything I have read...IS a tree, the soil we see is decomposed leaves and animal remains, NOT mineral breakdown. The only metal we have seen so far is that that the Karavaners brought with them. BUT that doesn't mean that we can't or won't find some deeper, which I FULLY believe exists.

My theory is that the sky branches, over the milliniums, grow together and form underground caves...ala the Prime roots. And if it has happened...it could happen. And who KNOWS what the sky branches have covered up?! Could honestly be ANYTHING.

The branches in Darkmoor aren't the same as those we see in the sky, they're more like smaller versions. They're nowhere near the size of the sky branches, and they either loop back into the ground or end somewhere in the cliffs, none of them that I have seen go up into the sky.

Something I'd like to add is that I heard strange sounds in one of those caves, the kind you'd associate with Kami or Karavan being nearby. I didn't find any in the area though.

That is the cave I tend to think is the "possible future expansion zoneline" cave. It just seemed a tad too "Coming SOON to a cave near YOU!" And I think that the Darkmoor branches are just for test purposes, and there are a few that COULD be different, or changed. One goes across like a bridge, another one does go up a ways, but yes, comes back down.

Atys is supposedly just one of the planets of the final content of the game.

Perhaps after time these branches grow and grow and touch other planets, driving down into the surface, eventually this may be how we travel to other worlds across these huge tendrils....

It is the living planet after all and after we forage all its nutrients to survive it is going to have to gather nutrients from other sources, therefore like a Huge parasite seeks out new 'hosts' to drain or perhaps evolve into a symbient relationship with those planets...

Just a theory

[bomb182]

During Beta There was a chat that told what the next Evolution of Atys would be, I wish I would have kepty a copy locally, because now i cna't find it, But we were told that those sky branches would be accesible. As they are part of the canopy layer of Atys. I'd Like to think that would be the 6th month Upgrade. but who really knows.

[zumwalt]

currently the sky branches are nothing more than 3d tubes in the sky, the trees you see along the edge are what is known as poster board graphics, there flat, nothing 3d about them, and there on the edge of the tubes only

in past interviews with the ceo i think it was, he mentioned that eventually the players could travel on those branches etc

this is probably some way off future date for content expansion

he also mentioned that at some point in the game, the players might even be able to see the grand prime roots

well, something got out of wack

So...you're saying that the Universe would be like a giant tinker toy? you want Steven Hawking to have a heart attack? eh?
