I like playing mmorpgs, and I currently like playing SoR more than any other game, because of what it is NOW!

Obviously there are going to be changes, the owners have told us. But the changes... change. And the details of the changes remain unclear. I have no idea whether the SoR I am playing now will be similar to what it will be in a years time.

However I must decide soon if I am going to extend my subscription, and how much of a subscription I am going to take. If I like a game I tend to go for 6 months, if I dont like it I go for 1 month or cancel.

What I would like to know is what will the game be in a few months, and whether I am wasting my money (and time) in a long subscription. As a consumer I certainly feel I have a right to know what the product is that I am paying for. If the company are going to offer 6 months subscriptions, or 1 yr, then we are entitled to know what we are going to get... if only in the broad sense.

Nevrax need to stop being a faceless entity, hiding behind an outsourced help desk, and start dealing with their clients in a more direct fashion.

SONY are reknowned for their arrogance toward their player base, but they have a commanding place in the market. SoR doesnt command such a position and should try dealing with the small number of supporters they have as if they were people who matter to them, ala AO, who I think have an extremely good bond with their players.

I dislike one-one PVP, but it looks like I am going to get it.
I dislike camping of resources (ala EQ), but it looks like I am going to get it.
I dislike being treated as if I have no value, but I seem to be getting that.

We as customers should be asking, expecting, a bit more. Someone, somewhere, knows what is going to happen. I want that information, if only briefly, so I can decide what I will do with my money and (most importantly) my time.

These two aspects appear to only happen in the prime roots. And with the way they are setting the stage up for in PR, it looks like one-one pvp there won't happen often, because the stage is being set for it to be more of a group oriented zone than how it was previously easy for solo harvesting.

suggestion:

subscribe for a shorter period. 1month or 3 months. that way you spend less money if you wish to cancel or if you like what you see you can stil subscribe for a longer time.

there is a simple answer to this one im afriad..... we have a test server..... use it stop releasing bugged patches from there to us we dont want them patch 1 was a disaster took a couple of weeks to fix it (a couple of days to destroy the comunity) when the bugs were all reported on the ATS server... and so far were seeing the same thing happen to chapter 2 they need to sort something out drasticly or there will be alot more people leaving and this new content was ment to bring them back =/

unfortunately the game is not derived around 1 person but by a majority. So unless other people agree with your views in a large number nothing will happen. I think Ryzom is growing to become a better and better mmo by the day and i play 90% of mmos which are out there today.

people should agree that the test server is not being used as it should be theyd be foolish not to agree every patch we have had since patch 1 has been put on the live server even with the bugs that the ATS testers reported its common fact...

Could you give me some examples here? I had a look at your post in response to Lawrence's "Chapter2: known issues" thread in our tech support forum, but the only one that I could see that had been reported on the ATS was the "incorrect mob names in target window" one... I may be wrong of course (I probably am... very tired right now) but I would appreciate it if you could point out some specific bugs that were reported on the ATS and are in the live version now

(oh and if you could link each bug to where it was reported in the ATS forums that would be handy

)

Try this one for a start:

They reckon it's fixed in patch 33.
