The role of diggers and crafters is veeery impoooodant, they'r needed to support the efooords of the maaiiighty waddiors and dooon forget that suuumone needs to raise da funds!

Our goal is not to convert Ryzom into a PvP-only game, and we won't only add PvP content in the future - it only reflects the short-term actuality of Ryzom.

Given an unknown value of 'soon' short term could be up to another year with nothing, really, but PvP to 'look forward to'.

Ep2, Outposts, now Zones.
PvP, PvP, PvP.

R2 maaaybe if there's anyone left who'll want to use it.

You say you can't work on things all at once, but if nobody at Nevrax was aware there was a need for a neutral non PvP element in this event then we're left wondering whether anyone is actually paying attention to anything that is said here or the tastes of significant portions of the players. If you missed that, I'd be very worried.

What you needed (need) to give is a non PvP announcement, something the rest of us can get excited about, something to dull the blow and keep people around, not more PvP announcements.

You say you're trying to prioritise, so tell us your various ideas and ASK us what we'd like next!

Agreed and who cares about R2 when you killed the game eh? whats the point? Someone needs to get a new project manager and figure out correct priorities and development schedules . No need for R2 if you have no subscribers

As noted at mmorpg in a discussion with Jessica There are 30 new base missions. Is this something we have not been made privy to yet? Will these be opened once our temples are complete?

What a teaser.

Well, I would have complaint that I have to learnt it from a player in a external website but let's leave Community managers some slack and time to breath, I'm sure it will be announced here shortly, we players can be very fast finding things

i want to believe you, a small part of me does, a small part is even happy about the new pvp stuff, but now you will be losing people, not those who do knee-jerk reactions, but those who waited more than patiently...

want to know how to keep them? DETAILS! seriously, you are promising stuff to come, but absolutely no details, nothing about how far or near this future is, nothing about what will come. simply give them the same benefit you are giving us pvp-fans.

please consider this:
the outposts were promised last year, during the year VERY few informations came out, aside from "soon(tm)". after a good part of that was over more information came trickling in and now, when the time is almost there we are getting definite informations.
now when talking to friend who don't like pvp and i tell them you have something planned i can only say: i don't know what and i don't know when, aside from "soon(tm)".

i think you see the similarities. please do correct me if i am at fault and tell me what i can relay to my friends, but please do consider what i ask of you, and if there is no fault to be found in my words: please act on them.

then how about this: pick out which points your team thinks likely to be best-suited, put them in a list and let the players vote. this way they can SEE what is coming, which will help reassure MANY of them and they can even influence to a degree what comes when.
