New year, new Start !

[Anarkia]

First of all, on the name of the whole Animation4 team, I wish you a very happy new year 2010.

2009 was a great year for Ryzom, and specificaly for the animation, rythmed by a lot of advancements.

We first began with regular events, with the sequence which was called "4 Events for 3 Shards". Then there was the establishment of governments of nations, between winter and autumn. It was a story of "Hugging Kitin, weeping homin" when the patrollers Kirostas came back into the Prime Roots. Then, the fear arrived among the homins, with the building of the encampments, at the sweat of the brow, followed by enormous invasions of white Kitin of the root, finally eradicated, during the "Spring, when tents blossomed" sequence.

After a deserved break, and a completed tanning, it was the return, and since october, you could thwart the sordid plans of the Maraudeurs during the "Enemy of Past" sequence. Then, after the interlude of Halloween and of headless tricks, you could assist to the coming back of Kitins in the Almati's Woods Kitins Nest, thereby its opening to the homins by the Atys Rangers, during "The Queen under the Bark" sequence. Finaly, it was Atysmas, OOC events called "Let's have magic!".

And we do not expect to stop, our intentions for 2010 is to offer you animations always more passionate, more dynamic, and where you'll be able to delve deeper than ever in the Atys's mysteries.

We want to slighty rebalance the game, in order to give back an important influence to the factions in the animation context, while continuing to consolidate the nations roles. The goal being to allow more interractions between these important two Deity on Atys. Followers of faction, prepare!

We wish eagerly to allow to each of you to immerse yourself more in the Lore, an essential element of Ryzom, and for that we already have projects about many animation sequences based around it. The Lore will be viewable more easily in game, via the new profile panels introduced with the objects (info) query, so that each of your characters can more easily learn about the known history of Atys

These sequences will begin in the next weeks, and you'll of course be informed in due course. It whispers that some secrets, found in the tomb of Nung Horongi, could resurge.

Howerver, we won't forget the OOC events, we know that it pleases you a lot, and we will continue to innovate and propose to you events with as much creativity and humor as we can muster, and allow everyone to participate, whatever their tastes may be on Atys.

Finally, we will continue to work on our communication and information methods, in order to more easily find information that you need for the different events.
Don't forget to regulary consult the WebIG home page (Shift+W) where every event is announced. We also wish will improve the information panels of the main town, so it will be more useful for all.

To finish, don't forget that we are always listening to your notices, suggestions, scenario ideas. You can contact us in game, on the RP forum (http://atys.ryzom.com) or via the CeB.

Once again, we wish you an excellent year 2010, and will make an announcement soon for when these new adventures begin!

Anarkia,
Animation Leader
