New Player, just stopped to say Hi

Post by jellye »

Hi

Im now downloading ryzom to test for those 7 days, what can i expect from those days? i found this game becouse when playing wow, some little voice in my head keeps saying: this isn't your game. so maybe this is my game, but how should i start playing? from what ive read from these forums this game is very different to other MMORPG:s, could you tell little more, what differnces to wow, and what is same?

and btw, can i change my billing options and how, if i decide to continue playing?

Hello and welcome!

Yes, you can change your billing options by logging into your account off the main page:

I think your best bet about learning some things about Ryzom would be to browse the posts in this forum:
http://ryzom.com/forum/forumdisplay.php ... ysprune=-1

Depending on what starting race you choose the starting island might be sparsely populated. It never hurts to ask a question in "Region" as, if anyone that knows the answer is around, they will respond. /who will give you an idea if folks are around.

Do read some of the guides in that forum though, Ryzom can be very frustrating, IMO, for the begginer with no idea what to do.

read a few, but one question left in my mind, how does race selection limit you? are some races better in some things and others in somehting else?
i think zorai is most coolest race and things.

As I understand it, your initial race choice has 0 effect on things other than where you start at. Racial lore is different but that really doesn't matter as you can choose to follow(or not to follow) whichever belief system you want.

Zorai are by far my favorite race. Unfortunately, they are also the least populated. If you roll a Zorai make sure you choose 1 harvest/1 craft/1 magic pack to start. I've got daggers and spears for pretty cheap(middle city) on the Zorai starter island and if I happen to log on i'll make ya one for free.

And here is further evidence as to why you should learn that it is possibly a good thing to avoid/ignore around 90-100% of everything that I say...


:p
