About how many people play on the American server?
What is to like and hate about this game?
I would just like some info that a starter may need from the vets of the game.
I look forward to the adventures...
Welcome to Atys, may be your stay be long and full of fun.
Likes and dislikes are all kinda subjective but for me it's also the community, plus the graphics - they're awesome. If you haven't tried the game with the graphics maxed, DO IT NOW! Blew me away first time I did.
There are also so many different things to do. Unless you're a power leveller and max your skills in a week, you can keep yourself busy for a long time, just by setting mini goals each time you log in. "This week I am mostly getting my melee to 170" for example. Next week? Who knows.

If the devs decide there are balance problems in the skills, they could change the power of one skill up or down. The one that went down is usually considered to have been "nerfed". Recently, elem magic and heal magic both got "nerfed" a bit to better balance them against melee.
Or
XP in Ryzom is determined on the highest skill used in the team plus the number of peeps in the team. Each person has lots of different levels, but it only counts the levels of the skills actually used. As an example, my close combat skill (daggers) is about 100 or so. My heal skill is 210. Let's say you have a melee skill around 100 as well. You and I team and we find the right mob for 2 level 100 melee fighters to attack to get good xp. By mistake, I heal you while you are still fighting. Because that skill is so high, the xp will drop dramatically. Or be killed completely. In that case, I "nerfed" the xp.
OudKnoei, that is without doubt one of the best answers to a question I have ever read here. Concise but comprehensive. Nice one.
Under 'nerf' in the dictionary it says ask OudKnoei.
