Old player returning for some nostalgia

[dazman76]

Hi Guys

I'm an old player, deciding to spend some time on Atys again. I played the Open Beta (I feel old), and also for some time after release. I did pop back briefly when the old accounts were playable for free, but didn't stay for too long unfortunately.

Anyhow, I downloaded the 21-day a few days ago, had a quick play around, and a couple of friends (one of whom was introduced to me by Ryzom) have also decided to pay a visit to Atys. Well, long story short, two of us at least have re-subbed our old accounts so we can access our more mature characters We also have new characters, about to leave Silan.

So far we've had the experience that we expected from Ryzom - helpful, chatty community, and chance encounters with players who are quickly added to the friends list One of them was yet another old Ryzom player (haven't enquired about original character name yet) called Myui - also working her way through Silan for the first time. Hopefully she will also decide to re-sub for a while, or at least complete the 21-day trial and journey to the mainland with us.

Well, this is just to say "hello again(tm)" really Dazman is resurrected (excuse the poor character name, Ryzom WAS my first MMO after all!), and Kalzakath (not very original, but I am trying...), a confused but eager refugee, will soon be wandering the Dunes of Exile and requiring a rez close to Pyr

As a group, we'll be trying our best to do things that we didn't do with our main characters - mainly Rites and extensive exploration (rez please), and of course a healthy amount of helping out whenever possible.

I have to admit, Dazman's friends list makes me a little sad in some ways. It's packed with characters, and each one brings a warm, fuzzy feeling of nostalgia, along with that odd feeling that you'll probably never see them again, in this game or another. Wherever they are, I hope they're enjoying themselves

Welcome back! I hope to meet you guys and possibly run a few of those rites with or group with. I too am a returning player from the free-2-play era who is now subbing and making Ryzom a permanent home. I left Silan for the mainland a few days ago so my skill levels are perfect to team with you and your friends. My character's name is Imaru, add her, say hello.

Thanks Imaru

I will add you ASAP - I think we'll be on Silan for another couple of days, as the third friend will not be arriving until tonight. However, we'll definitely keep in touch ingame, and it'd be great to get together once we reach the desert

And so, they return. ^^
Welcome back, Daz.
