To be brief, I'm 45. Love gaming. Love the concept of MMO's. I've played WoW, Lineage 2, FF and EQ2. To be honest, I'm bored with them all. I'm bored with all the foul language in general chat and the ying and yang of 12 yr olds.
This community seems to be more mature, based on what I've read thus far. Is it?
The game looks like it might be the mental stimulation I've been looking for since it's not quest oriented or the grind/fetch/grind of the games I mentioned above.
Any input would be appreciated
Not only community is mature but imho the game itself addresses this segment of the entertainment market opposite to the regular game makers that try to melt in the pot entertainment for 13 year old whose attention cannot be naturally focused on one thing more than 30 minutes (just joking no offence, but short attention span is natural in kids), fun for violent teenagers, and the complexity that attracts people over 30 years.
Ryzom in short is a game of patience and long run plans, of complexity, and with an open story. It's not a huge world but it has depth. Maybe a good measure for this depth is that after so long time after release there is not yet everything said and done.
But this also implies it's a game with embedded filters. Certain type of players will leave it, get bored fast, get the impression there is nothing to do anymore, etc. I think the game is a bit early from this point of view. It's target customer mass was not really prepared for this type of complex entertainment.
But as time goes by ,) this kind of fun slowly builds a path to its main consummers, which is the mature public.
