Power to the players? Yes! Decide for the future of the halloween event and vote!

on the main page : http://atys.ryzom.com/start/index.php
or in game with SHIFT+W

We'll do what the majority of players will decide! You like it, vote for it, you don't like it, vote for it too!

Do you really think i'm going to submit my account password in an insecure web page?

My complaint is not about the event per-se (or one lost day of gameplay), that i first happy welcomed (as i said i already crafted my red/blue HA), but this 'cheap' attitude to do things without considering all the impact (Web Applications, nice idea, totally insecure and unusable).

What power to the players means? Removing content for a whole day because of an event (that's even non-rp)? And you need to submit a voting to decide what is the best for the game?

Power to the players have some meaning only if built into the game and, as you know, Ryzom already have this behaviour (one of the best things of Ryzom and one of the very few MMOs with it), as long as you don't remove the gameplay.

This is just my opinion, I'm a Ryzom lover and I wish you do the right things for the best of the game, not wrong choices.

I am just really amazed at the reaction this is getting.
It just a short time not like it is a week long. So if you don't want to participate take a day off. It won't make a major change. Pretend the server is down and you can't log in.

I think it is neat. I have seen stuff I would never of gotten to see. So now will work twice as hard to level up so I can go again.

Thank you devs for trying to make a fun day for players.

I am sure some of the low levels who never get to places will like it.

If someone new logs in and doesn't like it well just tell them it is for one day, and to enjoy it.

Relax everyone and just have fun.

I´m shocked.
I´m truly shocked, that two days of something that was meant to give a little respite from the usual trod of things would garner so much negative reaction.
Especially players seriously considering to "rage-quit", just because "I don´t like what´s happening."
Seriously, last time I heard that I was in Kindergarten.

Guys, come on!
It´s a game for Christs sake.
And its just 2 (two) days!
One of which is already alomst done.

So please, act like the adults you are and think about what you´re writing here.

Because of the acrimony in some many posts, I feel compelled to say:

LOVE IT! Absolutely LOVE IT! Makes me wish I had enough fame for PR tp's. The work that went into this event, as well as the Kitin Invasion, is definitely appreciated. Headless GM's - nice touch. The event was a great way to introduce fun into what can be - at times - a grind experience.

Anyway, good job. I appreciate the Dev and Events Teams attempting something new and innovative.

Conversely, I can understand the position - if not the expression - of some those who are disappointed. The Ring is an excellent alternative for the event, and it shows off one of Ryzom's most unique features: a place for player created content.

But overall, I am very impressed. I've not seen this much activity in game in a long time, and it is nice to bump into players while running around again.

For those wishing to leave - you'll be missed. Have fun wherever you land.

Yeah, you're right. Just two days of new potential customers with plenty of free time being able to do F all. Awesome plan. Lucky we're already so unpopular we wont really miss them anyway. :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly. Nice concept, shoddy craftsmanship.

Imho this always was and as it seems still is the main issue with Ryzom. Much potential, but poorly used.

Why dont you lot join the event team and help make them better instead of flaming on here!?!?!?

Devs and Events team : Nice event :)
i have to admit, looking for pumpkins without mobs bored me to death so i went to the pub :p
Looking for pumpkins with aggro, that's my kinda challange, i am glad you didnt end the hunt when all the mobs came back . :D
