Ryzom

rushin wrote:well gosh thank you for sparing your valuable time to explain things to us simple folk, of course you know best and must be right. after all you can use CAPITALS and have been around long enough to know all about the history of Nevrax and the people involved.

I suppose part of it is that I'm being ***** and jaded. I'm used to getting **messed** around though, honestly, and perhaps my biggest pet peeve is watching other people get involved in something they truly believed in only to find out someone was secretly screwing them the whole time...

And honestly, to me? That's exactly what this seems like.

Like someone took a wander through the forums, guaged the intrest of people towards trying to keep Ryzom alive... Infringed directly on Nevrax's copywrite to create http://www.ryzom.org, mailed out unsolicited email to generate support for a fake donation spree, and is intending to screw people for the largest ammount of money they can in one shot by waiting until they have a sizable number of pledges.

That, is how it seems to me. And perhaps I'm just not trusting enough. But this place has a wonderful community that's dedicated to the game... Why show support to some outsider with unrealistic expectations of being able to purchase the game's rights when there are -real- companies that not only have the financial ability to -buy- those rights, but the capacity to put them to good use, to keep things running on a permanent basis.

But, to each their own. At least we share a love of the game, even if the way we express it is different, eh?

In any event, sorry for being so... angsty?

It's interesting that you have such a developed and indepth opinion on something that you havent actually checked out. Judging by the fact you didnt know about the login/passwords. You havent actually been on the site have u

I'm afraid 'some' baits are poisonous enough that not even "I" will pounce on them, even when I'm being ***** LOL

HAHAH no kidding!
tens of thousands of euros...
Honestly, I could get the investors club in my neighborhood together and raise that sort of money.

Let's just calculate out here...buy SoR = 90,000 euros..that's 118,000 US dollars...That is quite a bit less than opening the average franchise store. A pretty small amount, all things considered. Hell, fire two people, and you have already made up for it.

The numbers have to be *way* off.

btw. and just to get that of the table:

As I was looking for adresses for my sites almost two years ago now, I checked ryzom.org out of pure curiosity and loo´an´behold, it was allready taken.

So whoever is behind this must have been in a looooooong time ahead planing to screw us over. *shrug*

I´ll leave you all to your ***** and biting now. Fight like good little dogs*patpatpat*

I´ll go play now.

The better bid will gain Ryzom in this case.

If none of the "others party" finalize the deal, Ryzom can be sold for no more than 10 000 € !

The administrator have to get back the maximum amount of money.
If nobody offers him more than the Ryzom.org's offer, he will accept this one. Simple as that.

It all depends on the others party. Just need to know them to judge the viability of Ryzom.org's offer.

My god, ya don't check the forums for a few hours and... BAM! 11 pages of... @.o

just one comment:
To all the people who are NOT lawyers with a completed diploma/bachelor/something: Don't talk about copyrights, just don't. I am not a lawyer, but the misconceptions going on here do even hurt my brain. ^^

you dont need to apologise, i am hardly being calm and objective o_o

but i think we come from opposite directions on our life views, i'd rather trust and be hurt than be cynical and never believe in something without a good reason
