Yeah, but did it have any effect? If one land had no one helping, would it have made any difference? other than some list and a chart being different? so you got to carve your name in a tree? I mean I admit it was nice to see my old gildies and guild listed on there, but... *shrug* they're not here. and ... yeah.

Ah. I wasn't around to see anyone but Aen, so I didn't know the details.

Pra and I have a similar discussion a while back regarding the free 2 weeks. During the whole 2 free weeks, several older members returned to try out the game again. I don't think a single one of them tried the ring more than once (if at all). It wasn't what interested them in the game. Questions like "Is the encyclopedia done?", "ranged still messed up?", and "any new content?" were asked instead.
To me, there were other issues that could have been fixed first that would have boosted the return to Ryzom. If an email had been sent out that said "hey, we fixed ranged combat, added all the rewards to the encyc missions and plan on adding a few new sections a month/patch, and revamped the NPC bosses and put them back in game. We've also added Ryzom ring, a revolutionary new way to play a MMO. To celebrate rings release, we've given you 2 free weeks to come see the new Ryzom" I think a bunch more people would have returned. Instead, they returned to: Ryzom they chose to leave for various reasons + Ring.
Yup. It's me, Coral.
(man, I haven't TOUCHED even my free character since the couple times I played soon after the subscriptions were frozen =( )
I understand they have to work a lot to make an editor, since each feature needs to be safe to allow players access to them. but bleh.
I hope they do intend to give us a full set of tools... otherwise, we're going to be expecting them to deliver the quality content. hopefully this tool is unrestricted for them, and an improvement over whatever they had before.
I dunno... I think considering how far they've gone with what they were working on, that even if their focus had been different, we still wouldn't have had enough progress to impress the old players to come back.
