Then again, we all know the game cannot be free forever!

Yes, we rejoice because we have seen the horror that is other "free to play" games.

As for the introductory island, I suspect that it will remain free. That's the way it was back in the day. There will be a level cap and then you will have to subscribe in order to play the mainland. We may have to be a little more aggressive in convincing people to come across, but at $US 11/mo, the price will be attractive.

I presume that there will be follow-up announcement as to when/where/how payments will be made.

I will sign for a year as soon as they release a client that doesn't blue screen my PC - which never used to happen to me.

Well, this is encouraging! Been telling my guild friends that just doing PayPal donations would be a quick and painless way to get some dappers comming in, but if you have a billing system ready to roll, even better. I really didn't think it would come together, so this is wonderful news. My apologies to any who really can't afford the $10 a month. However, that is what it costs to go out to a movie, or drink 2 Starbucks, so I bet you can afford it

Not kool

Maybe one of the patches will fix this for you.

And the horror of some games that are pay-to-play!

I only have one account, but I'll be playing whenever billing starts.

er... is Aris down, get through the check, get the character screen, but after selecting it come back to that screen?

yep... it' always someone else's fault .

blue screen has a reason. check the stop code and driver file where it happens

Running Avast antivirus + storing Ryzom on a hard drive / partition with an Ext filesystem accessed on Windows via "Ext2 IFS"?

Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

But yes, do we have a date?
And will we be able to access the billing bit of our accts before then, so I can remove the dud credit card details in time to not miss the payment date?

Seems I recall reading on page 1 of this thread start date is approximately February, says they are extending 1 month and january is free. but at least they have the pay system up and running now

Do you like to start a thread about your crashing issue in the Technical Support section of the forum? Maybe there is a way to find out what causes your problem, and to give the developers of the client some hints what to pay attention to.

Looking forward to digging and chatting again...
