anyone seen this http://www.ryzom.com/news

Might download and have a look. Can't remember why I skipped this when it was released. Think I saw a review saying it was a bit crap. Interesting to see that there is an unlimited free trial (don't know what unlimited means). I like the idea of no classes and character advancement based on a skill tree but will have to see how that works.

This is a bit too much like me in real life tbh! Apart from the sea shell type jockstrap of course. I prefer leaves.

downloading the unlimited limited free trial now...

Just hope its not gonna be filled with sifty look-a-likes

At least this is not one of those imports from Codemaster. They seem to have set a goal to bring all Asian MMO's to Europe >.<

I played it in beta and it was pish tbh, maybe it's got better since it went gold

Played the beta myself a bit, well...6 minutes or so I think.

Been having a dabble just now and must say it does look a lot better then beta. The leveling system is more like NC, as in pick a class to aim for but u can still develop other skills as well.

The unlimited trial means theres no timelimit to the trial, you're just limited to the starter island, so u cant leave for the proper mainland of the game. Should prove for a nice play around to see what its like tho.

ive already got an account for this, might give it a whirl now and then

I've just been levelling gathering and crafting skills. Both systems are quite good. You can actually die by gathering resources itself, which makes a change. The options for both gathering and crafting seem quite extensive.
I've yet to kill anything yet so will have a go at that when I next have time. Char name is Sift. I'm on the starter island too as I'm playing the trial.

Char name is KuifJe, seems a very extensive world, even the starter island.

And turn on xfire Sift :p

Finally a game that irritates me more than SWG

i played the beta of this .. thought it was shite then and tbh it still looks as shite now ..

For me, looks aren't everything. It has some nice touches but I don't think it's going to be different enough to hold my interest. Having said that, I still haven't tried any sort of combat. Would be interesting to see what the PvP is like. I'll probably carry on with the trial for a bit to taste what killing stuff is like.

may start downloading myself:) Taking a break from GW atm;)

I've switched and am dabbling in GW atm. Got a lev5 Ranger. Combat is a bit simplistic but it's enjoyable enough.
