I ordered from Alapage on Wednesday late afternoon and I have the game installed on my machine tonight (Friday). Well worth a try. Online sites are all the same anyway. As mentioned, use an online translator if you need to.

Or this little alapage guide I just wrote. :)

To order from alapage.com

- Go to http://www.alapage.fr/
- Next to the RECHERCHE (search) button, type: Ryzom (then ENTER :) )
- Click on the Saga of Ryzom link. On your right, you will see a "Ajouter au panier". That's your "add to basket"
- A pop-up will ask you whether to "Terminer votre commande" or "Continuer vos achats". Choose the former (means you are done shopping).
- You will get confirmation screen. Click on "Terminer votre commande" on the right hand side again.
- On the next screen, enter your e-mail address and select "Non, vous êtes nouveau client." (No, you are a new customer), then press "Valider"
- Here is the translation of the fields to fill in:

Votre nom: Your last name
Votre prénom: Your first name
Votre e-mail: guess :)
Confirmez votre e-mail: Confirm your e-mail
Choisissez un mot de passe: Choose a password
Confirmez votre mot de passe: confirm it

If you tick the box at the bottom, you agree for alapage to send you offers and various bits of spam. :)

- Still with me? Let's move on to the address page:

Civilité: M for Mister, Mme for married women and Mlle for unmarried ones
Nom: Last name
Prénom: First name
Adresse: Address (or name of company)
Adresse suite: Second line of address
Informations complémentaires: Additional info. You can most likely ignore this unless you want to indicate on which floor you live. In that case, fill in the last box.
Code Postal: Postcode
Ville: Town
Sélectionnez votre pays: Select your country
Téléphones: Phone numbers (domicile = home. The others are optional)
Donner un nom de cette adresse: Labeol this address (so you know that "My Home Address" is just that, for instance)
Vous souhaitez que cette adresse soit enregistrée dans votre carnet d'adresses ?: Would you like to save this address to your address book?

- Scroll down a bit:

"Adresse de facturation : souhaitez-vous recevoir votre facture à une autre adresse ?": "Billing address : Would you like to receive an invoice at another address?" (I would choose no personally, unless you like making your life difficult ;) )

- Press "Terminer votre commande"

- You then get to choose your Mode d'expedition, i.e. you shipping mode

Standard: Within 5 days
Express: 2 or 3 days, depending on whether there is a week-end within the delivery lead time.

- Press "Terminer votre commande"

- Now come the payment details:

Ignore "Saisissez ici votre numéro de bon d'achat ou de chèque cadeau :" unless you have a gift voucher.

Paiement par carte bancaire : Payment by bank or credit card

Choisissez votre carte: Select your type of card
Indiquez votre N° de carte: Enter your card number
Expire à fin : Expires
mois: Month
année: Year
Indiquez votre Numéro de contrôle: Enter the security code (3 digits at the back)

- Hit "Valider" (ignore the rest of the page. It's there to allow payments by cheque, phone or other means)

- I think you might get another confirmation screen but, by now, you should be able to find the "Terminer votre commande" or "Valider" button on your own. ;)

Hope this helps,
Wendy
