Are you one of the Ryzom Ring guys who had minor problems with your favorite MMO? Have you tried editing a scenario with a character from the Ruins of Silan and then just found out that you couldn't go into Ring editor to edit your characters? Well we may have found the cure to your problem. The main site has just announced that they've finally fixed this annoying glitch, and that all your characters can now edit scenarios.

Given just what Ryzom Ring offers to the players with regards to options and environment controls, expect capabilities of this undertaking to have the occasional bug or glitch. At the very least, they fixed that problem fast. Get back in the game, and enjoy some good ol' Ryzom action!

Alright, a lot of you Ryzom Ring users have apparently been hounding the net and the Saga of Ryzom forums for more info on the RRP (Ring Reward Points) system and how it works.

So, Daniel Miller, the producer of Nevrax's Ryzom Ring, decided to clear up the issue once and for all by answering ALL the questions you guys posted on their boards (well, not ALL, but rather all RRP-related ones).

First off, Miller says that the system is time-based, so even if you hack and slash like there's no tomorrow, that won't earn you more points than, say, a leisurely scripted adventure.

Miller goes on to discuss the system's concept of "activity" - which basically means that "as long as you're doing something that requires you to be behind your keyboard and interacting with the game we can consider that you're active, and as long as you're active you'll gain reward points at regular intervals." Let's see, what else did he discuss? Ah!

Levels of Reward Points:  There are six different classes of reward points. And they've been following the feedback they've been getting from BOTH the testing team and from you guys so, reward points are now based on the kind of actions you've been performing recently and then doles out an equivalent level of points for the level of actions. Also, the level of the scenario is no longer important.

Non-combat actions and cheating: Before, only combat actions are taken into account when determining a player's activity, but now, they've included non-combat actions as well. Makes sense - just 'cuz you're not in combat doesn't mean you're not behind your computer and aren't active in the game, right? But again, the type of non-combat action you do will affect the level and quantity of Reward Points you'll gain.

As for cheaters, Miller warns that they are aware that some Ryzom Ring users have been cheating using external macro PC software. So if, at any time, you're caught cheating, you will be banned from the game. And this applies not only in Ring, but for the rest of Ryzom as well.

Miller answers TONS more questions that you guys might also be wondering about so if you wanna know more, just click on the read link below and you're all set.

Nevrax has just announced that the new additional server (dubbed as "Cho") for both Ryzom and Ryzom Ring is now open, much to the joy of the game's followers.

“Cho” will offer all Ryzom players a new virgin territory to conquer and control. The server is international with an English-speaking customer support. To be one of Cho’s pioneers and try out Ryzom Ring and Ryzom for free with unlimited playing time, simply visit the Ryzom site and follow the free trial link there.

For those not in the know, The Saga of Ryzom follows the adventures of Atys citizens as they try and reclaim their heritage from the hordes of Kitins who wrought war and genocide to them during the Great Swarming. As part of Atys, you'll get to master the arts of sorcery, war, tradecraft, etc. Ryzom Ring on the other hand, is the innovative extension of Ryzom, which allows users to access Ryzom's creatures, buildings, maps and missions to create their own events and adventures, allowing them to shape the game themselves.

Ryzom Ring, as we've mentioned, is the first free expansion for The Saga of Ryzom. And Nevrax has already given us opportunities to participate in the various alpha tests and free trials in the past months. Owing to the success of these alpha tests, Nevrax has now announced the opening of the final Ryzom Ring Beta.

Daniel Miller, CTO and Executive Producer of the Ring, says that the Ryzom beta has finally arrived because Ryzom fans have made the alpha test program a success. Now, all subscribers get a chance to join the final beta test. This translates to total freedom when it comes to creating scenarios and events in this massively-multiplayer online science fantasy role playing game.

Ryzom is the next big thing to hit MMORPG. The expansion allows players to access Ryzom's creatures, buildings, maps, and missions using tools that give players the power to shape the game. More about the beta test will be announced, so watch out for frequent updates here at QJ.

The Ryzom Ring guys have hit a new landmark on the 1st of September with the opening of the Ring Alpha to 589 Advanced Test Server (ATS) testers. This is the first time they've welcomed such a big group of people on the Ring Alpha.

For those who were wondering, an ATS tester is a player who applied for and got access to the Ring ATS a few months ago. If you're one of the lucky ATS testers, we envy you. For those interested in joining up, sorry but the application forms are no longer available.

Ryzom Ring is the first free expansion for The Saga of Ryzom. It provides players with the tools they need to access Ryzom's creatures, buildings, maps, and missions to create their own events and scenarios. By wandering all throughout the world of Atys, players will unlock more and more landscapes and NPCs for use in their own adventures.

Okay, before you wage a war with Germany for getting a free trial of Ryzom, you should know that it's not exclusive to Germans; it's just that the Games Convention will be held there so naturally they have easier access to it.

Gamers from all over the globe are of course very much welcome and encouraged to go to the Games Convention in which Nevrax, the developer of the massively-multiplayer online sci-fi RPG Saga of Ryzom, will participate to showcase The Ryzom Ring. 

The Ryzom Ring will be featured from the 23rd to the 27th of August on Hall 5, stand no. F32 where people can check out Ryzom's first expansion weeks before it even hits the market. So if you do decide to go to Lepzig, Germany for the Games Convention (you know you want to), don't forget to check out Nevrax's booth to be one of the first to try out the Ryzom Ring and create your own adventures in an online world!

So you're amazed at the constantly growing world of Atys where distinct flora and fauna surround the land. Here, the creatures have unique behaviors and the seasons and weather change constantly. In this world fused with sci-fi and fantasy, you get to craft your own tools, choose from four different characters and get lost in an engrossing story about the planet Atys' history. (The mentioned characters are Matis,who are known as the forest dwellers highly skilled in botany and genetic manipulation; Tryker, the lake dwellers who build floating cities on lakes; Zorai, the spiritual jungle dwellers; and, the Fyros, the dessert dwellers gifted with manipulating fire.)

We also know that you can't get enough of The Saga of Ryzom, and have been eagerly expecting the Ryzom Ring, the expansion for this game. As a treat, we're going to provide three videos just for you. For more info, news, updates, and other Ryzom Ring goodies, just keep visiting our blogs.
