Ryzom

We have no say over who buys the game - even a massively long petition, because who's gonna read it but the players and the CSRs: who currently have no company to pass our views onto?
If Ryzom doesn't get lost in the french court system, I'll be happy as hell. If it gets bought by some fantastic group who bring it back to what Nevrax wanted it to be, and keep it vibrant and progressing - I'll open a second acct just so I can pay two subs. But whatever happens, we just have to hold on tight and enjoy the ride, for now.

Sony have money, Ryzom needs money, i have no problem with it and yes I did play SWG and leave because of the CU.

As this is my first MMO, I cant judge any potential buyers, but I am in favor of just about anyone willing to listen to the paying players, answer questions in a timely manner, keep subscribers informed, add new content, make adjustments, remove bugs, etc. , which GF did NONE of, except maybe that silly gambling wheel. We are in limbo, as was suggested, until we have a name and place to send our concerns. Until then, I plan on enjoying the community and the game itself. Long live Atys

ALL this things the greedy people from $OE don't care about, once they changed a whole great innovative game and changed entire skills,items, player progress for over 2 years and the whole game so it become worthless , thousands of players petitions , threads tell'd them to stop this , but they got ignored and banned. Their Customer service is known for to biasing customers.
$OE don't like a mature community , they don't like crafting and item decay, they don't like you having freedom in selecting skills, they don't like you having freedom, they like you grinding 1 type of XP (combat) in miondless repeating of missions, they don't like RP, they like FPS - style combat,their developer are not capable of doing things right
and are mostly arrogant to player needs.

So you want that type of company to get his hands on Atys ?
Once i fled from them and found here a home , it took me again years of developing my char, please i can't stand fleeing anymore , i hope it is only a bad rumor but if $OE decide Atys i will cancel subscription the same second.

Ryzom survived for so long, it will survive even longer, i'm sure.
If you love Ryzom, then have faith, it will be ok.

I don't believe I made mention of a certain company, but a company who would do the things you quoted from my post. If Sony does not do these things, then they would be as bad as GF, if not worse (mainly listen to players and respond, which according to you and others, Sony does not do).

Just want a company that is for the players, well, after the almighty profit of course

Sooo, your not a fan of Sony then? kk, cool beans.

Any company who want to DEVELOP ryzom is welcome, Gameforge has almost killed the game with this status quo.

maybe i overreacted a bit but believe me developing something in the WRONG direction kills a game more then leave it untouched , saw that with my own eyes.
Yes GF wasn't a good experience and not a good company for these awesome game and community but at least they don't broke the game mechanics. Guess they saw no profit and throw it away but imagine someone try to change it and make it that way WORSE (if you played SWG PRE CU and log'ed in the day after the CU "patch" or the NGE "patch" was applied you would know what i mean) and this only to attract imaginary million of players and throwing away the current playerbase.
We need a company described by petersk in his post and i highly doubt $OE is such a company.
