Congratulations, I wish the previous endeavors all the best. Thank you for your absorbing realms and fantastic artwork and visions. I look forward to playing more in the future.

To the new owners, thank you for keeping something as unique and creative from being simply tossed out with the trash. God speed and good luck.

I hope some news on when subscriptions are available again is forthcoming....

I think Marjo's post already addressed that, Kitt.

"As a result, the billing system will reopen shortly so that you can subscribe again or give someone a Ryzom account for Christmas. :)" That sentence, particularly the last seven words, indicate that subscriptions should be available by no later than Christmas day.

Although, as far as Ragz is concerned, I totally agree. It was rather silly to re-implement the cap on Trial accounts without having the account upgrading available. I know some will probably mention that they did it during the patch to avoid more downtime, but they don't need to patch, for it...they certainly didn't when they removed it, in the first place, and there was no form of rollbacks for anyone. Just a cap that reads your level and blocks further experience gain if it is equal to/greater than 21.

Its rather unfortunate that you instituted the Level Cap without allowing upgrades for the Trial Accounts.

I am still eagerly awaiting opening of subscription process.  Any further word?  I am completely unable to do anything constructive as EVERY skill is 45+. 

will we get the pleasure of something offical from the guys (and girls) from Gameforge.de. would be nice to have a proper hello from them.

Most of us knew of Miko from Nev, would be cool to meet the respective GF counterparts before the W/E :)

I hope they get to stay. They're awesome.

Who exactly is "Gameforge"? This can give us an idea as to the future of Ryzom's developement.  And why the game cap before subscriptions are open? Already level capped and stuck on noobie island, I am frustrated enough to look for an other game or resubscribe to my previous one.

Yes I must agree i was disappointed to see im stuck on the island, as I only joined this online experience last week I didnt have much clue about the takeover. Anyway it will be worth the wait as I have thoroughly enjoyed the fun and experience with both game and players on Ryzom so will look back often to see the progress. Glad you have taken on Ryzom Gameforge as I believe it is a real gem of a game. Hope to see you all on line soon. PS hurry up with the accounts please I personally cant get enough of this game  

It seems that account upgrades are back in effect. Please try it at your convenience, and we look forward to seeing you all on mainland. Happy Holidays.

I first heard of ryzom in an article stating that the players were going to buy the game and it would be free from then on.
  Having been exposed to online gaming by my son, and being a lifelong scifi/fantasy addict I imediately began the download. Now I'm stuck on noob island and upgrades are $15 a month! WTF?
  I live on disability and can't swing that on top of my other bills.
