Ryzom

Well I have to say I have been very disappointed in the community the last few days, even more so than usual. Yet another example of why I don't post here much these days, the forum community just aint what it used to be.

OK so Ryzom has a new owner. They took over just before Christmas, which is never easy (I speak from experience here).

Since then there have been a few problems with the game, many of which are not their fault. The last patch introduced some bugs - not GFs fault, Nevrax wrote that code. There was (rumour has it) a fire in the data centre - not GFs fault.

I imagine that GFs initial plan when taking over so near to Christmas was just to keep things ticking over until the New Year then take proper stock of things and start making changes - it's what I'd do.

I have seen other forum members giving GF stick for the current situation when much of it isn't their fault. You people really do need to get some perspective and take a chill pill.

For a start, GF have IMHO saved this game from falling by the way side. You should be grateful for that and give them chance to take things forward before you start slapping them down.

You also need to remember that you have been spoiled by Nevrax's open policy. This is something GF need to get used to and hopefully take on board. The Ryzom players are used to information being forthcoming. We're used to being told what's going on or what's being planned to some extent too. We're used to being treated like we're mature, even when we don't act it!


We're in a new year now and it's time for a fresh start. So let's stop the mud slinging and flaming. Let's give GF chance to put their new house in order. Let's hope that the teething problems will be few and can be sorted easily. Let's look to the future and hope it's a bright one. Above all, let's be realistic people!

Also, let's not forget that it is the people at Jolt doing all the donkey work here.

Who among us would fancy being called in at 6am, on New Year's Day, to come and sort out a serious problem, what ever the reason.

A BIG cheer to soulsnatcher, who, I heard on Klients, had to go in a 6AM and seems to have worked all day on getting things up again. At least until Arispotle went up in the late evening (I stopped watching Klients at this point ). And all this on only a few hours sleep.

I no longer agree with what I said.

Everything good and working... Now I would like to see a tiny little official statement about all that happened. Yesterday there were three server downs. Is everything under control now? Or should I expect to see my main toon missing again, when I get home? All I heard was a rumor about a fire in the datacenter.

I agree an official statement on what actually went wrong would be nice. Maybe when Souls finally wakes up again we'll get one.

Yes GF need to get into the keeping us informed frame of mind that Nevrax promoted but give them chance, they only just got here.

Remember many of us have been here for a long time and GF are Ryzom community noobs by comparison. We all have to adapt to each other.

Let's just have a little less recrimination in general folks and think about the circumstances that occurred yesterday in particular.

I believe they're doing a great job, server downtime or not.

Have a Happy 2007!

Happy New Year ^^;
Not their fault, Im sure once everything is operating smoothly again, we will be in for some really nifty things from GF.

Having tried hard to refrain from posting in the negative threads, it heartens me to be able to post in a positive one

Cheers, homin! I fully agree.

Happy new year everyone!
