Ryzom

I'm half-half here. This is subjective and biased, but personally, for the last year I've been waiting. I don't know what exactly, but waiting. Waiting for meaningful lore advancements, waiting for interesting additions, waiting for spires (not that I am eager to PvP, but the idea was interesting. Nevrax, tho, scared of a massive cold-turkey dinner has, for some logical reason, decided to postpone it until it can be tested and assessed) waiting for the ring, (the best thing on MMRPGs since sliced breasts and permadeath, something that we playes MUST love. Oh wait) waiting for the Kitin Nest, wait, wait wait.

I know the situation, of course, I know about Gameforge buying Nevrax. I don't expect GF doing a lot of things (although they kept Nevrax devs, there should be some continuity). I went form a very pro-active member towards a skeptical one and caring less and less. I no longer dream about Ryzom.

Changes:
* Silan. Oh, sorry I checked it, but you know, my main avatar was high level, I know it was needed, but it had little to no influence on me.

* Ouposts. Yes, nice, but unfinished and not for me.

* The RING: a failure. A miserable failure. 18+ months of development time, a lot of potential but faliure due to minor things sich as hosting possibliities, lack of harvesting or rewards. An example of half-baked, half-finished feature. Day after day I check the scenarios. Sad.

* revamped bosses: another example of "Nevrax pendulum". Several players know what I mean by this, so no need to elaborate.

* Kitin nest: what can I say? yes I know "it's on the pipe", but please STOP announcing features MONTHS in advance. We will feel less stupid. I know "it is being tested"... but, sorry I can't help but thinking this. Fame titles? do you still remeber that "titles excel file" right?. When did we get the letter from Ms. Mulligan MMRPG-saver stating that they noticed some players did not want PvP and more Kitin content was produced. That was the start of the Kitin Nest. The Kitin Nest should ROCK, right?

So what? well, for starters, every communication, PR, announcement makes me react the same way "yeah, yeah...", and I take them with grain of salt. So another adition will be more storage for OP owners. Great, I don't have an OP. OPs are merely an interface to a PvP scenario. New lands. That sounds old, from the times of the 5% Atys and 99 Prime Root Layers.


Oh well, ignore my rant.
