Publicity

So, who takes the task of leading this project?
5c0rp ?
katriell ?
acridiel ?

No simple task, but this could be a very successful project!

I guess this one doesn´t really need a "leader" as long as we all share the same goal and coordinate for example here, so that no two people try to outdo each other at the same job it should be alright as it is.
Or am I mistaken?

And releasing Patchnotes and other stuff, well that´s work for the new Bosses, not us
We only relate the news to others.

The only thing we need is something to write about.

And Symolan's suggestion is actually very, very good.

Is anyone here in a college with a school newspaper ? At my college, the newspaper team is DESPERATE for people to submit articles and content. If you're a student, you have the right to submit any article, poem, cartoon, caricature, delirium that you'd want. ANYTHING. Also, there used to be a videogame chronicle. You see where I'm going ? College students. You probably have a chance to hit the % of the college's geek people that might be interested to try the game for free.

I'm having a couple of article concepts popping into my mind. If I publish any, I'll link the file here. (The articles, if there are any will probably be in French, due to the fact that I'm a French Canadian studying in a French college with a French Newspaper. MAYBE I will translate them. MAYBE.)

The project is simple and easy but not easy to arrange in a single forum and also envolved corperation from the Ryzom staff, espically if things such as dev plans and interviews can be posted. With so little news and information coming from the staff this project would no suceed.

There are various ways of taking it foward but again having such information and plans made public makes it kinda pointless.

We have our own list of press contacts that get sent the major updates, but obviously we can't cover the whole internet. If you would like to (continue) helping us with this, we're very grateful

And nothing has ever been sindicated to the various game journolist sites where alot of press released are picked up.

Ryzom already died twice. If continue that old marketing model its dies again that is sue! Get out here i see only 2 possibility.
1) Huge development (Ryzom 2). Make new graphics engine, rewrite guests....
Ryzom mast be again killer game like it was when it gamed out.
2) Not sell game but ingame items. Special armors, tickets some place where rare trops, cats, rare skill books.... That also needs lot development but not so huge when in point 1).
Why i think so? Because look what in game market happens now.
In mmorpg.com 1. place is http://atlantica.ndoorsgames.com
There also game like cabal-online. If you not have millions and millions players like example EVE have and if you not have unlimited amount money for marketing like example EA have then nothing dodo you mast choose point 2) marketing system.
Sorry my eng not good but i hope you got a point.

If monthly fee coming again then that means owners nothing not learned. If Ryzom already died twice when used that marketing model why its mast survive now!?

Owners if im right please give me my first rare armor for free. Second one i already buy. Also what is price for supercats?

I don't agree with that, Ryzom is still a great game. even by todays standards.

However, I have never seen a advertisement of Ryzom.

Advertising an MMORPG is nessasary to get a good player base.

That should do it.

[kalindra]

Cabal Online is one of the worst games I ever played. Don't compare Ryzom to it, it's nothing alike.

But now that we've had a great event and patch, we do have something to write about !
