Departure - Farewell
Posted: Sat Nov 13, 2004 2:02 am
It is with great sadness that I announce my departure from Ryzom. I truly do love the game and it has been something I have been looking for in a very long while. The experience was definitely memorable and I thank so many people for their help, especially my guild - OOC.
The Saga of Ryzom was something that I thoroughly enjoyed on a daily basis, but several problems have arised. It's proving to be difficult to pay for the game. Themis does not accept American Express and that sets me back a lot. I've also become increasingly busy with schoolwork. This week has been especially hectic as I am working on programming parts of a gaming engine for one of my classes. It takes a lot of time out of my day.
I've also been a little displeased with Patch 1's changes though this is not my sole reason for leaving. Patch 1 has garnered a different type of game style and has ultimately become a different game for me. The game I beta tested, pre-ordered, and payed for no longer exists to me. I don't find the same enjoyment as I did before. Ryzom has transformed from a casual gamer's delight into an impossible journey only a hardcore gamer can take advantage of.
I believe Nevrax has a vision for their game and a set plan as to where they want it to go. As an aspiring game programmer and designer, I understand this. It seems, however, that the game that currently exists is not what I initially had played and loved from the start. It is no longer for me and does not satisfy my gaming desires. With that said, I do still believe Ryzom is a good game and I hope it does well in its future.
I wish everyone luck and hope their Ryzom experience remains enjoyable. I may return in the future, but only time will tell.
