You can thus find the English version of the fourth article, 'Bandits!' as a Scenario Example on MMORPG.com . The French and German versions of this article will be posted on the Ring website in a few minutes.

In this article, Daniel Miller, Nevrax' CTO and Producer for The Ring, gives additional details on the features and inner workings of R2 scenarios. You'll follow the work of Frank, a fictional pioneer creating a scenario made of several acts. The participants will have to guide Sam, a coward NPC, through several trials setup by his clan to prove himself worthy...

Quick update - German & french translations of the article are now available:

• The german version ;

• The french version.

This has so much potential. It's like making and DM'ing your own Neverwinter Nights Module running inside a MMORPG (Yes, a MMOG with actual RP in it). Not just the usual hackfest, but a DM can spawn new encounters (?) or withhold hostile bandits and base the outcome on the roleplayed interaction not on level/gear.

There is a limit to how many NPC's you can have in each 'Act' but how many PC's are possible?

Love it!

It looks very interesting. I will definitely look forward to playing around with this tool.

I have this idea for a Tryker theatre, 'The House of Waterborne Dreams', a purely rp/entertainment affair. Auditions for parts opening soon. Storywriters wanted.

This nows looks as though R2 might be as flexible as I was hoping it would. We have yet to see just what the limitations are, of course, in terms of character numbers, landscape size and scripting powers, but I think it's time now to start planning a scenario

I like this!

I am not too happy with PvP, then they promise us this. Now we can take the game to any place we want. I like Ryzom a lot and when R2 gets here I will be even happier.
