I want that one! Bodocs are a good start but kinkoo would be more suited to my mount.....

WHAT! we are dreaming right....

I'd go for an Ocyx mount myself.

I'd like a Kizoar mount.

Kipesta would just be too nasty.

Hate perpetuating this topic... but I can't resist...

What specifically do you expect to happen differently if there was another server but no code changes?

One would attract people more interested in the PvP side of things, would contain more of it with existing tools and possibilities as a result of that concentration of people because they'd be attracted to it and enjoy it more.

The other would retain a more cooperative style of play more concentrated on the PvE aspect and as each gained people and momentum in it's chosen style it should continue to snowball an appropriate community.

Transgressors moving to the 'safe haven' server to cause trouble would be subject to discipline under the existing CoC on that server. (I suspect such attempted exploitation would be one way though).

Of course, this assumes people tell the truth about their motivations and desires in choosing their style of play, in practice it often appears that it's more about spoiling other people's fun than seeking your own, which seems to be the reasoning behind thinking of pre-trammel UO as the holy grail of MMOs.

2--Fix the rest of the bugs in the game would be nice...

Don't suppose you'll still be playing Ryzom in... 20 years?

So isn't that saying separate servers wouldn't work?


And your post wasn't very specific. What exactly would happen on one server and not the other?

Factions wouldn't have tagged fights? Does that affect people who don't want to participate?

Outposts would be transferred peacefully? Is that practical? Is that really desired?

Lands of Umbra wouldn't be used for PvP? Its not used for it now... and as you say, the non-PvP shard could very well see more of it.


I do not believe there are irreconcilable differences at all and see no benefit from splitting the community.

LMAO Where have you been? The Dark Matis and Nomadic Fyros are mentioned about once a month -- mostly from me *blush* What can I say, I want the other races, dammit!


Here's a segment of one of his interviews.

David Cohen Corval, Creative Director wrote:What you as the Homin civilizations are, in fact, is just a small portion of the true Homin presence on Atys. The past Homin Nations were wider. As an example, I’ll just say that there are the Dark Matis and the Fyros Nomads who follow the herds of huge elephant like creatures which carry the Fyros villages carved in their shell.

And another nice little interesting quote:

It depends if people are being honest. It would work for the non PvPers as they'd have a safe haven.

sehracii wrote:And your post wasn't very specific. What exactly would happen on one server and not the other?

The communities would be different due to different desires reflected in play and the CoC document would be enforced reflecting that community. That's all.

sehracii wrote:Outposts would be transferred peacefully? Is that practical? Is that really desired?

A trawl through any PvP or Outpost discussion shows that there is a strong desire for alternative methods, but that's outside the scope of this sub-discussion.

I see no benefit to mixing two communities with mutually exclusive goals when it isn't done competently and evenly. That would be the other solution of course.

What I'd really like to see:

- Major tweaks to the ranged skill-tree. Definately needs more abilities, and having ammunition weigh less would make a world of difference. And please, please, PLEASE update the ranged animations, as they're pretty much non-existent. I want to me able to see my character looking behind him and firing while he runs away from that torbak. We should also have different positions to choose from, like prone and kneeling, each with accuracy bonues.

- New armor. Come on, give us some more variety! And speaking of new outifts..

- Non-protective clothes. I'd really like to see some clothes just to hang out in. It'd be great to have stuff like this for social gatherings and the like.

- Pet training skill tree. Need I say more?

- New mounts. I bet you could work this in with the pet training skill tree.

- Allow us to zoom the camera out more.

- New areas, new mobs, etc. Maybe even let us climb up those big roots in the sky

- More emphasis on faction standings with tribes and races

- More emotes. /plead

- More in-game music.

- System notificiations of when friends go on and offline.

- Customizable housing, with purchasable furniture and all, and allowing us to have house guests.

- More hair-styles, tattoos, more options in character creation, etc. Maybe even more races to choose from?

Oh and last but not least:

- Kipee volume control

EDIT: Why does it say I'm on free trial? O.o
