Ryzom

Hello everyone!
I think I have a few newbieish questions concerning both Ryzom and its forum community...


1) Why can't I have an avatar icon in this forum, and why can't I post in some of the forum areas (such as in the "General" forum)?

2) Is it true that I currently can't upgrade my free account to a full account?

3) Are there choice quality materials in the starter island?

4) If, for example, I am a matis, and someone who is a fyros gives me his armour, can I wear it or do I first need the fyros crafting armour skill?


Thank you in advance!!! ^_^

1) Because you're on the free trial at the momemt. Paying customers get more access.

2) Right, Ryzom's previous owners declared bankruptcy so can't accept payments. We're waiting/hoping for a take-over.

3) Pass

4) You can wear stuff given to you of any race as long as you have the right stats. (right click on item to see stat requirements)
Only to craft do you need the plans.

Hi and welcome to Atys

1) you can't post as you have not got a full account, be patient hopefully things will get sorted soon.

2) It is true, at present Ryzom has no owner, and so no one to pay subscription money too.

3) not too sure about this, but I don't think so, only fine and basic

4) no, you can wear any armour or use any weapon provided you have the requisite stats or skills, check the info on the piece of equipment to see what the requisites are.

Hope these helped

I keep hearing that people have successfully upgraded using CD Keys from the old boxed version of the game, if you can find a place to buy one. A new one, of course, a used CD Key won't do you any good...

Anyway, WELCOME!

No, Peone is right about it just being fine and basic.

Welcome to Atys

I am very tempted to buy the game box in order to see if I can upgrade my account without waiting anymore -but first I'd like to see how the bankrupt matter will sort out in the end. However, if I end up completing all the possible quests and things to do in Silan, I don't know if I'll resist waiting any longer!

Thank you everyone for clearing my questions out!!!

Welcome to Atys! It is my belief that Ryzom is still going because there are potential owners still going through the bidding and legal process in France. If no bidders had surfaced, or the bids were too low, I feel the servers would have been shut down by now. So, have faith, and keep your eyes open for the box game. If you need any help with quests or have any other questions, ask in uni chat, we would be happy to answer .

Some of have alts on Silan, so if you need assistance with a quest, just ask me, or in uni.

The existence of at least one potential buyer has been a certainty for a long time.

Oh, I have one little question again, about something I just noticed... may I?

I've noticed that during the character creation screen you can see your homin expressing some quite good facial animations (when you click the "Play" button in the left corner). However, when I use the emotes as I'm playing the game itself, there are no facial animations at all.... How so? I guess that if there's so many facial animations in the character creation screen, there is a way to make them appear in the game too? Or not?

The facial expressions are for character creation screen only...

No way to perform them in-game, unfortunately.
