Ryzom

Is it just me or is Ryzom rizing in the MMORPG.com game list ?

I was under the impression it was a bit lower in ranks then what it is right now. It is at position 11 in the most high Rating/Hyped MMO games. I think it was like 15 last month or so (lol WOW way down there).

guess its rising cause its at 10 now hehe

Ryzom has indeed risen 2 positions (beaten CoH and Vanguard) and is now 8,13 (has been 8,12 for the past coupl of months.)

But we gotta do more than that Let's vote and vote mates
I have created 3 alts there for just that purpose...

Next step is DaoK - a semi-dead game with graphics from the nineties...

Quit cheating, Komi. Being in the top eight (in other words, displayed on the MMORPG.com homepage) for months way back when didn't do all that much for us.

It's the prestige that counts

I am currently working on an article about Ryzom that will be submitted to a couple of sites. Only problem is time, so will take a few days.

What's the point?
As long as the new owners choose to be so secretive about everything related to themselves and the future direction of Ryzom, I really would not encourage any potential players.
Point is, are you being honest when you try to promote this game at this time? Do you KNOW what the future of Ryzom is? OK, so it's free for the moment... and not having to pay for a subscription is always good, right?

I have also noticed a growing trend to tell potential new players to stop whining and question what it's all about. Is that what this community has become; asking are you here to play and enjoy the game or...
You praise the game because it's a sandbox game. Well, it seems to me that this community is defending it's playground most vigorously.

Would I like to invite friends here? Not at the moment, because I don't wish them to experience what we went through with GF. So before you go and try to make Ryzom look good in the MMORPG game list, ask yourselves why you do it

I have to agree with Karm here.
Better be careful, than overly enthusiastic.
As much as I´d like the Game to finally succsseed, I´d rather see some hard facts first than heaping on friends the bad experiences of the past years.

The point is the same as for any other mmo: having some fun. I think ppl should be able to enjoy a game they like even without having some sort of guarantees that the game will survive on the long run.
RL doesnt come with a guarantee either, and could end anytime, yet that should not prevent you from enjoying it.
I noticed some players acted as if they lost some sort of investment when the game shut down last time. They complained about lost time/effort as if they didnt get anything in return. I invested time and effort and I got fun in return, i felt sorry when the game went down but i never felt cheated.
Last but not least, the enthousiasts are doing what they can to boost the game, so they do the little they can to prevent it from going down again.

I didn't stop explicating and hyping Ryzom even while the servers were down.

I continue now because the new owner has some Nevrax in it and I expect they've learned from their past mistakes (to an extent that time will quantify). For that reason I'm willing to put a small investment of trust in them.
