Ryzom

Ryzom is leaps and bounds above and beyond games like EQ and WoW (ew). But what I'd like to know from you is, what else do you do/see/feel makes Ryzom illuminate, outside of the bare essentials of the concept?

What I'm hunting for in The Saga of Ryzom is the element that goes beyond the battle factor. Is there more to this ingame life than war... though what raw material I dig for is going toward crafts created to help me fight in battle, or to improve my appearance, is there anything else I can do? Can I start up a business? Can I be an interior decorator for your newly purchased apartment? Can I help care for your pet mektoubs? (sorry if I mispelled that) Can I create my own custom hairstyle? What about living outside the apartments, is it possible to build a home?

So what goes beyond the arena? Please share your input on this.


groovy. ;8^)

Want a goal?
Is a huge market for q250 jewels.
To be able to make this q, you need mats. So you have to become a good harvester. To be able to harvest mats you need to be alive. So you need a bit of fight levels. To be able to level fight, you need a team. Very less peple will team with you if you don't have heals at a decent level... so you need a bit of magic.

You can careplan for a good harvester if you want to be a "hired gun" - in our case a "hired pick". You can provide a crafter with mats, you can change you hair stile btw (check the marketplace).

No, you can't care my meks, they love me, they might bite you. And I migh bite you too. Arf!

Edit: bout jewels. Do a search about Haddo in forums.

lol! Okay, kewl. q250 jewels comin' up. In aboooout... maybe 5 months. or more. give or take. check's in the mail. Have my people call your.. ah well.

I hope I'm not coming across the wrong way to anyone. I'm really likin' this learning more about Ryzom. And what everyone's discussed with me so far has helped alot already.

... and if I'm ever gonna reach this new goal, I'd better get crackin' on the diggin! lol

See you ingame!

Hi there!

I think the main "Goal" in SoR is to create a "living" world.
I mean to interact with each other and to "pretend" that our Characters are real. And live in a Wolrd of their own.
SoR is not about Questing, and Instance raiding and generally E-Sports, as other Games are.
Its about ROLEPlaying your Character in a World were he lives with others of his or her Kind and their Neighbours.
The War and everything that will come in the Future are just the background to the Life the Homins lead on Atys.
Atm were not able to "decorate" our Homes or somesuch, but IMHO those are minor quirks, that WILL be implemented in the Future I´m sure of it.
Nevrax is a pretty small company compared to Giants like Blizzard and Sony, so SoR is as much their Labor of Love as it is our Love for truly "acting" the Game rather then just "playing" it.

Look for a Guild, keep each other company, live your lives on Atys.

Have FUN!

I like learning as much as I can about this world and sharing it with others. Just this weekend I went to a place I had never been before and the trip was amazing.

Along the way in my day to day experiences, I want to discover the best recipe for durable and protective light armor and jewelry. Maybe someday I'll have the ranged title of "Master of the Blowdryer of Doom". There's always something ...

Put 7-8 to be sure.

Good example of a goal outside of war:
*The ever infamous uber amp recipe of DOOM

*the equivalent of that, but for anything else that you can craft

*There is some lady in Pegasus Foundation that likes to play around with the colors of the mats she uses to make stuff, in order to make the ultimate outfit, or something like that.

*There is always the undiscovered prospecting spots, or trying to get to the mats under a favorite patrol crossroads or massive aggro spawn point.

*There was a guy around here somewhere that actualy calculated how much exp you need per lvl, how much exp you got for various factors in foraging, and last I herd, he was trying to document the 'unlisted stats' of various mats, these being stuff like for some odd reason, the grip and the shaft mats affect the magic percentages, even though these stats are only listed on the magic focuses.

*My roommate, Niphlim, was trying to finish a rite that required him to track down a specific lvl Gibbai in Matis lands, and he combed the entire zone with a full team, and despite the GMs saying that it is there, they could not find it.

So, as you can see, there is sooo many goals that you can try to reach, that have nothing to do with the war effort.
