Ryzom

I was browsing the english and french forums (sorry, I don't understand very well German ) and falled on several topics with a lot of suggestions for new features or for improvements.

Why don't centralise them on a common public site ?

I found the site uservoice.com which proposes this kind of service

For Ryzom, we could use : http://ryzom.uservoice.com

Canonical did the same for Ubuntu with its http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com

I think it could help developpers to do choices from several features which ones to give priorities

Good idea, except the votes will be skewed because only a tiny percentage of the game's population will use the service.

But that counts for these forums too. And for ingame tickets. And for any other way you could come up with to poll the population's opinion. Inability to get a complete picture is never an excuse to not attemp to get an as-complete-as-possible picture. As long as you keep in mind it's not the complete picture, ofcourse.

The problem with IG tickets is players can't see them so they can't give their opinion on an idea suggested by other players

However I understand bug reports have to stay private because they can lead to exploits, but for propositions, it should be public

Good points.

I notice that Vianney Lecroart, a.k.a. acemtp, a.k.a. the "vl" who was idling in CeB while the servers were being tested internally, is the contact for this thing. The oldest idea is 21 hours old, and it was posted by acemtp.

Does this mean that ryzom.uservoice.com is an official service which has yet to be officially announced only due to its newness? In other words, are the developers actually going to be watching it?

Another question: Can the number of votes each user is allowed be raised? I want to be able to post ideas AND vote for others' ideas AND express the real strength of my desire for an idea with 2-3 votes.

At least try to give credits to people who have done suggestions in the past.

cba going through the millions of suggesions made previously in officially asked for suggestion threads.

linux version of ryzom.........seriously, if you think that is what will bring growth to the company you a bit warped.

maybe an hour reading http://forums.ryzom.com/forumdisplay.ph ... ysprune=-1 may be in order

Katriell (and others),

You should all know that ryzom.uservoice.com is absolutely nothing official; acemtp is just a player like everyone else and experiments with some things (such as this tool) in his spare time separate to any work considerations. Any official things will always be announced on the forums.

I had the same opinion as you sooner, but now, I think it's more reasonable

Each player can vote for THE feature they want the most and once it has been accepted or implemented, the votes can be reused somewhere else

Otherwise, players could give +3 for all propositions without reading them.

My first instinct is to wonder how many months or years it would be before anything on there is implemented.

But Spiderweb works pretty fast. So my only real concern is whether anyone will do the Accepted and Completed status changes and whether those statuses will be accurate if they do, since it isn't an official service.
