In other words an old school MMO community as it used to be when MMO's were niche and the money first publishers hadn't got hold of them I really hope a bunch of new players doesn't ruin that. Regular "treks" where high-end players help trek lowbies to new areas to get teleport access. People say hi, you can ask for a rez in zone chat and people will run to help you. The old Ryzom community was different than any other MMO I've ever played. My last comment on Ryzom is about the community. The different races all start in dramatically different environments. Create several different characters and get them to the mainland. Getting several skills to 125, the F2P limit, will take quite some time, so give it a try. I hope they re-activate it if they get enough people coming into the game. Probably the most fun I've ever had in an MMO. The other feature I miss is the Ryzom Ring, where you could create your own scenarios, publish them into the game, and then be the DM and watch people run your creation. The graphics are stylized also, I happen to think they are great, but not everyone will. It's a sandbox, but some people are confused by that. Another common complaint is people get to the mainland and don't know what to do. There is limited mobility, as in no jumping or climbing mountains. It has old-school auto-attacks using timers, not action oriented at all. then your one simple sentence killed my buzz Still going to check it out.

Lol the post above yours made me want to instantly install it. Steam doesn't change that, nor the general cheesy feel of the game. You may only be able to dig up certain mats in spring, at night, during the rain, for example. real day/night cycle, and a real weather system. Snow in the winter, flowers in spring, etc. I could join a team fighting lvl 100's as a healer, or fight 200's with my sword, or dig lvl 150 mats. I can be 100 in healing, 150 in digging, and 200 in 1H/Shield, for example, and can therefore play at any of these levels. One of the coolest things is that there are no player levels, only skill levels. Each item, say, ammo, can be made using different mats, and each player makes their own items using their own combinations. crafting is complex, there are no recipes to learn. Or you can join in an outpost battle, where guilds compete for outposts. You can go into PvP areas which have the best mats to dig. PvP is of three types: you can flag yourself at any time, anywhere. There are no dungeons, but there are overland bosses. there are no instances, although there is zoning between major areas. Digging can get you killed if you don't watch out Digging is a huge part of the game, and your prospecting and digging skills make a big difference. the same goes for prospecting and harvesting. Want more range? Faster firing? You have to offset that with credits. all actions are also player crafted - you build your own powers, based off of skills and modifiers. The starter island uses quests as a tutorial, the mainland has almost none. Some money quests and faction quests are all there are. it is a world simulator, a sandbox, there are basically no quests, no storyline. everything is player crafted - all drops are mats, no weapons or armor drops. Also, F2P players can't get mounts, pack animals, or housing. That means you can get every skill to lvl 125. Any one looking for a SWG alternative this would be it. I just wanted to share, it is going on steam, so hopefully more can find this gem.

It isnt like a modern games with instant results. I see why it isnt overly popular, because it is super complex, and it takes a long time not only to level, but to figure out the game. I have alot to learn, but it has everything I want, great sandbox mmo. The only thing I can compare the wild life too, is Skyrim modded, which is Sky test. The wild life is some of the best I have seen. The NPC are great too, make you feel like you are in a real world, with them talking to each other and walking around doing stuff. I think this because you can turn on 12x aa edge detect, and all the Amd stuff, and it still has a good frame rate. I think they are actually better than some modern mmos. The graphics are surprisingly good to if you max them out. The combat is fun to, with making your own ability with the different things you can get. Even at the start crafting is complex, and everything you make is different from the other crafters there.

It is a very complicated game, with very interesting crafting. I gotta say though, to the person who told me about it when I made a post about resources that have stats.
