They really didn't need a higher level cap, all they really needed was a new shard where everyone started at ZERO so they could all power level and prove how awesome they are all over again.
Pretty funny.

Re: What I find funny about the old-timers
So because a handful of forum posters apparently did this, you are going to paint all vets with the same broad brush?

Re: What I find funny about the old-timers
Not me. Then again I deleted my original character when I left before so now I have to rebuild it. I'm hardly powerleveling though. Would love it if someone would do that for me though. lol
Re: What I find funny about the old-timers
No, not all. The ones that had stated that they 'burned out' or had nothing to do. I have heard of a lot of folks who left and came back to play on Cho too.chessack wrote:So because a handful of forum posters apparently did this, you are going to paint all vets with the same broad brush?

I guess it is some semblance of a level playing field. Although it will not take long for the hardcore to be way ahead of the casual, and right back to the same issues I imagine.

Still... some are out there to get a challenge again, to get away from the OP hectics and their sideeffects or to simply try something different than how they had started waaays or not so ways ago...

Re: What I find funny about the old-timers
It's not really like that although I am sick of people dropping hints about how uber they are on ari in universe etc but there's bigger annoyances than that.
People just like fresh starts, let the power levellers go ahead all they want I really don't care I just like to get on with my game and have fun.

Re: What I find funny about the old-timers
The amount of older players that I have met on Cho, that left the game over a year ago at multi 250 level characters is amazing.
Meeting long lost friends with whom I started off playing with, when ryzom was released, and now having the chance to rekindle those friendships is amazing.
we are not powerlevelling, we just happen to know what we are doing and know how to approach different problems effectively, this can hardly be construed as powerlevelling.
The only time Ari is mentiond, is when someone asks have we got characters on Ari, why be churlish and deny it, its not like we didn't earn our "stripes" there.
Its the whole freshness of it, there are no weapons or equipment to buy, its like the wild west frontier spirit, currently Im sporting Q70 armour, I can wear 110, but cannot afford it if it was on sale, or craft it.
My biggest complaint was that I could never see ryzom with a newbies eyes again, but now I can to a certain extent and that makes me feel good.

Anyway, I play on both my main Ari avi, and on Cho. I play on Cho because many of my older friends are there, also-I sort of get bored on Keiko. All I end up doing is standing around at Fairhaven stables. On Cho, I get to remember the "good" times, before I even thought about Kami/Karavan, and before PvP (other than Roots and PR) were thought of, before...all of that nonsense. It's really nice.

Re: What I find funny about the old-timers
I've made so many alts...had all five slots filled since early on. Eventually made a second account after the implementation of RoS, and filled all the slots on that one too. I've been through the old and new newbie-experiences again and again, so it all kind of mushes into making no difference to my enjoyment of the game. Except...after more than one pass through Silan, the NPE feels really contrived and boring. xD But half of my characters are stuck there due to being on a free account.
So to me, Cho isn't special. Though, I can see its merit as a new frontier. =)

Glass Onion,
Do you remember the fun you had with king of the nexus, the big teams, the struggle for resources, equipement and dapper?
Do you remember having more than a few people to chat to in guild?
Do you remember the race to a title, the buzz of fast dings, the days before cats, where DP was something to avoid?
Do you remember worrying that you ql50 light armour only had a few hit points left and the only armour crafter was on in 3 hrs?
Do you remember when Ryzom was fun?
There will always be fast levelers, slow levelers, peace makers, war makers...
The thing I have found with Cho is whats on Cho stays on Cho.
Cho is Ryzom, being played as Ryzom was intended to be played, in the form it is now.
PvP, Outposts, Boss hunts, content, lots of content, people lots of people, chat lots of chat....
What more can I say.
