Hello everybody =)
So i am another Newbie who just arrived on the Beginners Island

After playing 2 1/2 Years now WoW and GW, i needed something fresh and must say that i am very pleased with Ryzom so far.
I was actually a Closed-Beta Tester but when i tried it back in the Days, there were never more than 2 People online beside me so i never tried it again...untill 2 days ago
The Code of the Boxed Version is also just waiting to get used when i am ready to leave the Island.
Although, after reading through the English and German Forums, i am a bit confused about the Whining of so many Players, so many People seem so unsatisfied and that kinda stops my Enthusiasm a bit.
Plus i am a bit "scared" to leave the Island as i am not used to play MMORPGs without any Quests and such.
So i hope things will go good and Ryzom will keep me here.
Atm, i am a "loner" but i hope to find some new Friends here soon.
Ok, thats enough for now, toodles
Zoriel

Welcome to Atys, Zoriel,
Let the whining on the forums not confuse you mate. The forums is the place were older players vent out those things they prefer to keep out of game

Basicly those same players will be 100 times friendlier in game than on these forums
Faction conflicts and such lead to a bit of flamethrowing and whining from both sides as you may well know
Just find yourself a friendly family and roll on - you'll never want to leave, trust me

I'm new too ... I'm going to start playing soon, maybe next week (I'm very busy at the moment).
I was thinking about buying the boxed version because I've found some copies at 6-7 each on eBay. I know we don't need the box to play but I love box art ...
Just a question, I've read somewhere here on this BBS that the free month CD key that comes with the old retail box is useless for trial accounts, right? So zoriel and I won't be able to add the free month to our current trial account even if we start paying a monthly subscription, right?
We will be forced to cancel the current account and start a new regular account to take advantage of the free month ...

Hmm...you sure about that ?
Because the Account Management still has an Option to add a Box Key and it clearly states that the Free Game Time will be added.
So i just figured it would be ok since i bought my Ryzom Copy on Ebay as well for 4 Euros
So i hope youre wrong and that it will work.

Sooooo, you´ve read the german boards too...
Warum kommst du dann nicht auf unseren Server?

*gg*
(Why don´t you come to our Server then?)
Anyway, enjoy your stay on Atys and don´t let the Boards discurage you.
Sometimes tempers run a bit high, just as in every board on the web.

Well, no I'm not ... I've used the search function of this BBS and I've found a couple of threads that were talking about this issue.

These are good news for me too ...

I hope I'm wrong too and I will probably try to buy one of the remaining retail boxes that I've found on eBay the other day (it was a German bid).
