New Patch 1.8: Ryzom is now available in Russian!

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:44:06 +0100

We are delighted to welcome the Russian community to Ryzom!

As you may know, many players on the English language Arispotle server are native Russian speakers. For their benefit and to promote Ryzom, the game has been fully translated into Russian. That is just the start; however, once the number of Russian speaking players is large enough, we will open a dedicated server for them.

Until that time, a small technical team has been formed to better meet the needs of this budding community. The forums already boast a new section dedicated to all Russian speaking players.

The whole Ryzom Team warmly welcomes “Intacto”, our new SGM who will be in charge of the entire Russian community of Ryzom!

Import your old mail in the new mail system

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 07:55:16 +0100

Yes, we can. Finally, a great coder took the time to create a feature to import your old mail in the new mail system.

Just go to your new mail box and click “Import” button and voila!

Happy holidays!

PS: the button only appears if you had old mails and you didn’t already import them.

New Ryzom Mail App

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:23:39 +0100

We would like to post some information about the new Ryzom Web MailBox.

The mail app was rewritten from scratch and is now very powerful and useful. The most important change is that the mail is now accessible from in game (SHIFT+W) but also when you are not in the game with your browser on this url.

You are at work and want check your Atys mail? That’s now possible.

In the next patch, new mail notifications will be back! When you’ll receive new mail, an icon in the compass will appear telling you how many unread mail you have.

Each time you sent a mail, the recipient will be added to your mail contact list so next time you don’t have to type their name, just go on the contact list and click on their name to compose a new message for them. You can also add a private comment about anybody in the contact list, very useful to remember all your friends/enemies.

The mailbox also supports multiple recipients. In the contact list, just tick the people you want to send the mail to and click on “new message” and they’ll all receive your mail. You can also just type the names in the ‘To:’ field separated by a comma.

Mail queueing; When you send a mail, it goes in a queue until the recipient opens their mailbox and reads it. Until then, you can delete the mail and this way you will know if the recipient has read the mail or not, which can be very useful!
You want to send a mail a friend that is on another server? Not a problem, just append the shard name and a dot before his name, for example, if you are an Arispotle player and want to send a mail to an Aniro player called test, just type aniro.test in the ‘To:’ field.

The old mailbox is now deprecated, and will be removed and replaced with this new mailbox in the next patch (so SHIFT+M will open the new mailbox).

Trick or treat!

Do you have Ryzom Web Apps?

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:05:16 +0200

With the latest patch, we launched the Ryzom app store where PHP developers can create powerful applications that are available in the game (SHIFT+W) and also out of the game with the browser at this url: http://atys.ryzom.com/start/index.php

Currently, we have made a mail application and a small notepad.

In order to fix most annoying new issues with patch 1.6.0, we are working on patch 1.6.1 that should be live today.

Thank you bluegrazz for this testimonial

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 09:13:31 +0200

Bluegrazz, a new player on Ryzom, wrote on the official forum a very nice testimonial. :)

WOW- Spent about 4 hours in game last night and that was enough to convert me. I had issues with my video card (needed to change to Open GL) and at first it was running really poorly- Within seconds of asking for assistance I had several members of the community give me a very helpful explanation as to how to change to Open GL.

So, after playing around with the crafting for a few minutes (harvesting actually) I was amazed by the depth- This is the only MMO I have played in this Millennium where I actually had to read things- Twice…. I am in MMO Heaven right now- Skill based advancement? Sandbox? Deep Gameplay? Helpful Community? Death penalty???? Why haven’t I heard of this before? Seriously- I have been wasting my time playing EZ Mode, linear MMO’s with a bunch of 1337 Kiddies and I could have been here.

Thanks for offering a hardcore MMO that hasnt been dumbed down for the masses- In the few hours I played I have found more “meat” than I have in countless hours of “raiding”, “faction grinding” and “racing to endgame”- And havnt scratched the surface.

So why (seriously) is this game 5 years old and I have never heard of it? There are a ton of people out there who have been waiting for this game and yet they dont even know its here. I will be spreading this game around to people I know will appreciate what you have done here- I sure do.

I WILL be subbing to this game (and after only a few hours of play- It amazes me that I know this already) immediately when my trial ends- And will be focusing on my crafting/harvesting in the meantime (havnt even had to try combat yet =P )

- Thank you for the warm welcome from the community and thank you for a sandbox to play in to the devs.

You will be seeing Eppenguar alot from now on.

I agree with him, Ryzom community is very mature, warm and helpful. We are grateful and it motivates us to work hard to create a better game.
