need a ryzom ring video tutorial

Or some sort of configureable notifications. For example for new ingame mails or new ring scenarios a small icon pops up next to the compass.

Very easy to add and very handy I think. You still have to take actions and check the mail or the terminals, but you know at least that something is there.

Oh and another thing I heard about why the ring scenarios aren't permanent were the resources needed. But in fact not that much is needed.

For example one could allow each account to host one masterless scenario in the ring as a fair trade and keep playing normally.
Then all the scenarios are just held in standby mode in the ring and only those where players want access to or those who already have players inside are activated and started on the servers.

This way the ring would keep a fairly large list of scenarios on standby mode and a player can activate and make them load by joining them. Once the last player leaves the scenario, it is reset and put on standby again.

The hosting player could then draw back the scenario, upload another or put a mastered one there (where he has to be online and inside obviously).

If resource problems occur e.g. due to 20 scenarios running, one could add a priority waiting queue where scenarios that ran recently have a low priority and maybe combined with a maximum running time of an hour. The scenario is still in the ring list, but only allowed to run for one hour straight and has to go to the queue again after.

I think the resource problem can be solved a way or another, but I don't really like to see the idea to pay more to be able to host them permanently or to buy "land" as in other games. This would as usual split the community in rich and poor people and ruin the fun imho.

I thought maybe it would be an idea to share scenario's, so you can try other ones, without having to wait till the owner gets online. We just need a place to share them all...

(And please devs, if you have some time, make something to put the files online, while your toon is not, or on the mainland. I wont mind to pay a fee for it... It will make the scenario's as expansions of the game...)

There is such a place just kaetemi stopped work on it because nobody used it...

Oh wow, I'd totally forgotten about that place! It seemed so promising when the Ring just came out too...

I think I've already been in those scenarios that are there atm, except Kaetemis, but I'll have to check them out. I never seem to be able to get a scenario of my own finished, so maybe I can make myself more useful to the Ring by testing other people's scenarios.

never knew about that website, thanks Arcueid!!

I'll register and post my scenario's.

I'll put the source of that thing open one of these days.
