Haircuts?

[lupine04]

Hello all.

I'm a returning player from back when SoR was first released. I left (ran screaming frantically is more appropriate) during the whole Patch 1 "Mobs on Steroids" situation and, having read that it's been leveled off (as I figured it would) decided to come back and check things out.

So.. I log on and the first thing I notice, or *think* I notice is some new in-game stuff.. or just updated.. Have Nevrax added new items/structures to the game? I'm in the starting Matis city on the mainland and I swear I don't recognize some of the buildings and what-not..

Another thing I notice is that the crickets seem louder than normal - are they getting bigger or is it just that much quieter around? Even my guild channel was completely silent... which is wierd.

Finally... My character got a haircut while I was away. Can't say I'm happy with it. She had the one with the tied-up pony-tail in the back (you can see it in my avatar pic) and now she's sporting the short-cropped look.. Don't know how/why that happened, but I'd kinda like to get her old haircut back, if that's possible. Is this something a GM or someone can handle?

Anyhow.. didn't get to play much and maybe I just logged on at a quieter time, but I look forward to seeing what else has changed (hopefully improved) in my absence...

Thanks!

1) Yes, new textures in the cities, but they have the same layout as before

2) Region chat has gotten quieter since then, yes, mostly because of the NPC merchants. Can't do much about your guild chat being quiet other than to recruit new members.

3) The new patch, as would have been revealed to you if you'd done some reading, introduces the ability to change your haircut when visiting a new merchant in each capital city. Upon being installed, the patch changed the haircut of some characters. You can either go get it changed now with the merchant, or wait a day or two for the next fix patch and get it done for free.

Well, I did do "some reading" - before and after reinstalling Ryzom - and, considering the great number of threads and topics to choose from here, I guess I missed the one(s) dealing with the hair situation. Thus, I asked about it. Easy on the gavel there, okay?

In any case, I'll just wait for the patch .

Thanks!

No kidding.

Err... sorry, I was a bit rough, yes.

Welcome back Lupine. Nice to see you on the forums again.

@Zarzen: No problem... fuggedaboudit...

@Cerest: Hey! Thanks! Great to be back.. Let's hope it's a long stay.

I'm really eager to jump back into this game and figure out what the heck I was doing when I left.. heheh. That's the one thing that I hate about leaving an MMO and coming back.. (especially playing others in the interim).. you completely lose your place. Or, I do anyway.

It's good news about the hair thing, too. I was beginning to fear Shanree'd have to go with the K.D. Lang look for the rest of her career.

Oh.. as for the textures being replaced in the city.. Yes.. that's one of the things I noticed different. More colorful. Also, I swear the ground textures look better, too... seems to be more definition. Am I right, or is it because I'm playing on higher settings (recent PC upgrade perhaps?

Thanks again!
