I know it hasn't been long. What...2 weeks? 3? But let me just explain.
Sit down. No, not there. That chair's broken.
Ok, look. I still think you're really Immersive, and graphically you are much better than I thought you would be. Pretty, actually.
But you're just not the right game for me. You're all about getting together with several of your friends and going after other groups of friends. You know, like a game of paint-ball. I enjoy those kinds of things once in a blue moon, but generally my off-time from real life doesn't involve so much...you know..running.
In my real life I walk about 2 hours a day. I bike to work, do housework and yardwork. I clean up pee and poo at work, then come home to do the same with my animals. The last thing I want to do is to come home and run around, looking for not only something to shoot, but trying to avoid being shot. Let's be honest, though, as soon as I saw how equipment and loot has no value, even that fear turned into boredom.
So yeh, you're into partying and large groups of men getting together. That's fine. I like sports, sometimes, even when half of the sport is one big commercial for products I never buy. Also, I understand that you're an MMO, and by definition MMO's are meant to be played in large groups.
But that's not my bag, baby. Even though there are some really cool people that play you, I can rarely find them.
I'm a dork..I like to look at virtual sunsets and talk to people, and all of that I like to punctuate with the occasional bouts of serious adventure. I guess I look at all that action as anything in life: boring if done too much. So, I'm a little protective of my adventure, I use it sparingly. I know that it would only be a matter of time before my (normal) human brain grows accustomed to it and looks elsewhere for excitement.
But there's another problem: there's no other adventure in you. No mobs but the occasional bear, no birds in the sky. When I look at Ryzom I see a game FULL of life, entire herds of animals all moving with the seasons. But you only offer me horrible chat (I had to even turn off local chat) with the occasional player trying to jump in my arrows path (happened twice today) along with the promise of a possible clan (sometime possibly) in my future. But no RP, whatsoever. I looked..the three possibilities long gone.
I just don't have the energy to try and start my own thing. I'm already doing that in several other games. Maybe if this was another time and place...
Anyway, good luck. I think you have a lot to offer a player that is looking for what you offer.
Also, I kinda' sorta' think you're as boring as Hell.
Ok, well, I gotta' get to the movies. Yeh, I'm meeting Ryzom, Vanguard and a handful of weird Asian MMO's. Nah, I think it's better you stay here. Well, I mean leave. Hey! I heard that whats-his-name was looking for you. Yeh..there ya go..give him a call:Beau Turkey.
