A whole NEW Perspective!!!!

Post by wak313 »

Hey All,

I joined Ryzom in Open Beta - and was logged on before the end of 1st live week in September 2004.

However I stumbled accross Ryzom Open Beta while hunting down info on EvaQuest II which a friend told me was a good game to get when released.

I knew very little of the story or background of this game, but after my 14 days in open beta knew i wanted it.

And yes I am still here :P

This article i found is a post made in September 2002 - TWO years BEFORE it went live (wow, did not realise how long this has been in development)

Please read this article ASAP - And David, I hope what i read in that will be included in the "Extentsion" as alot of the stuff not implemented now is REALLY COOL!@!@!

Thanks
Gleno - DCA

The story, and even the shape of the world, will be affected by the players. He even hopes that at some point, Nevrax can turn over the certain aspects of the story to higher level players and guilds.
Nice part.

Just a small note: SoR has been in development for 5 years. They invested €8 million in development and another €4 million in the open beta & the release.

Worth every euro cent .... however probably the budget blizzard allocated to marketing :P

Ryzom is an Acron .... if it survives and grows (up to us to keep it watered) ..... we will have a mighty oak on our hands.

interesting quotes :
One of Ryzom's unique concepts is money, which literally grows on trees.
The unit of currency on Atys is gold seeds, which are harvested once a year and put into circulation. But they degrade over time, fading into colors that are used as lesser denominations and eventually becoming worthless.
Cohen-Corval says this will give players an incentive to spend money rather than simply hoarding it.
heh, if it was working, weee hurry i have to convert all my money into buildings / real estate :) also i guess tons of "warehouse" would pop-up where people store goods to avoid depreciation of dappers/lost of buying power :p

anyway i dont rhink it will be implemented anymore.

other interesting statement :
Players can literally shape the game world by creating new cities. Guilds can perform complex quests to create outposts that will serve as the foundation for a new city.
Here, in the outpost debate, people wanted to know which things can be built. just read down :)
[...] your guild has to amass the resources and cast the powerful spells that raise the basic buildings for defense, resource storage, meeting areas, and re-spawning points.
good :)

good :)

*big grin* and a whole lot more that has only ever been hinted at in Dev chats, FBT, interviews.

I have been around for a looooong time much to some peoples annoyance :D

I have faith in the 'little' company, because of its vision and determination.

Also I have this lovely win/win situation :D

If the game fails - I personally will have had the most fun (with my clothes on) than in any other game I have ever played!

If the game succeeds - Literally no other game will come close.

We have the support infrastructure (2nd to none)
We have a free environment, with almost no restrictions on the characters
We have a beautiful graphics environment, that just makes you want to stop and look.
And to top it off a community which is great!

Future features, will just put the icing on a cake.



btw - Is there any location in the WHOLE of Atys where you can sit for an hour and not have someone or other come running past?
