Ryzom Ring - Presentation
Ryzom Ring takes Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Play to a new level. Experience the power and freedom to design and play out your own scenarios for the first time ever in a persistent online world.
Welcome to the Ring!
Ryzom Ring (R²) allows you to create your own Adventures on Atys. By travelling in the world of Atys you will open up access to more and more landscapes and NPCs to use in your own adventures, culminating in Ryzom's entire plethoric bestiary and a huge number of different terrains across all of the different ecosystems and environments of Atys. In just a few clicks you will be able to layout the scenery and NPCs of a new scenario and to open it up to your fellow players. Join the community and enjoy the player-made adventures or develop a taste for playing god as an Adventure Master ("AM")!
Creating Scenarios
The R² editor tools are both rich and childishly easy to use. While the complete newcomer can have a scenario of their own up and running within just a few minutes, the experienced designer will find all the depth they could hope for. The possibilities are endless, from creating quests, traps and puzzles for the players to completely autonomous set pieces with NPCs acting out the roles that they have been given.

2) Macro Components
A unique system of "Macro Components" allows you to create scenarios even faster and more easily. Pre-prepared sets of scenery objects and NPCs complete with behaviour parameters, such as a bandit camp or fauna system, can be dragged into the scene from the palette ready to go.

3) Quest Design
Ryzom Ring gives you the ability to create your own quests, from the basic "give item" task to the elaborate adventures in which Homins will confront dangers across many lands. A system of triggers enables you to add logic in your scenarios, to elaborate tricky enigmas, to trigger epic battles against Kitins after a series of actions... Let your imagination run wild! You can also create special quest items that players will receive from NPCs or find in treasure chests.
Playing Ring Adventures
"Adventures" are player-made scenarios running on temporary maps. Anyone can launch a new instance of an adventure and decide who to invite in and whether to advertise for other players. Ring terminals installed in key locations around Atys will allow you to browse through the lists of scenarios to which you have been invited and those advertising for new recruits, to contact their owners and to join in.
R² introduces the concepts of "Mastered" and "Masterless" adventures. As the scenario owner in a Mastered adventure, you get to play the invisible "Adventure Master" (AM): Take control of creatures, put words into the mouths of any NPC in real time to make them talk with players, spawn or kill enemies in order to balance difficulty, start triggers at will... In short, play god! As the scenario owner in a Masterless adventure, you will play with your avatar alongside the other players, participating in the adventure with them. In either case the scenario owner can invite or kick others from the adventure at any time.
