Thanks for all these thoughts and ideas, folks. Keep up the good discussion.

That is the most ridiculous and stupid thing I have ever read, dood :P

Hey aoafizz, i've just started as well, and have also come over from the level 60 chaos from wow. I have mostly the same questions as you, but one new one...

What podcast are you co-host of? I'd love to have a listen.

I've playing in game for a few hours and found the community great!

P.S. i ran into Zerlin ( a great GM that helped me with the connection problems i had ) within the fist 10 mins of playing. I played wow for 2 years and never saw a GM =)

I'm another WoW convert, and that's one of the things that really impressed me. I had somehow managed to get myself stuck in a ring of packing crates at the Leviers camp north of Pyr (the Fyros home city), and put in a ticket... much to my surprise (a very pleasant one), a CSR came to my rescue in a matter of all of about 30secs, and was very friendly and helpfull. The customer service in this game is about a thousand times better than any other MMO I've played.

As for the game itself, the game system is absolutely beautiful in it's complexity without making the actual combat overbearing. When fighting, I almost always punch only one or two buttons during the actual combat, but setting up what exactly those buttons do is something that took me a good while to decide on, and I'm constantly trying different things with them.

I also love the fact that you can switch from heavily armored melee fighter to nuker/healer with nothing other than a quick change of gear, or go medium armor full time for a fighter/mage combo. There's just so many options on what to do with your character in Ryzom.

yep yep. once you get over the 'i am a warrior, i hit things hard!' and move along to 'i am a warrior, who moonlights as a priest, does elemental with lower level teams, crafts amazing armor and digs in the pr' you really start to enjoy yourself i think.

Because there are so many skills you find you can form teams with any combination of players without much stress, and it's always fun to do different stuff even if you started out with no intention of ever trying it.

welcome and hf
