"Unlike many other games that call themselves ‘roleplaying’ games, Ryzom has the quality of leaving space. There's no need to rush around doing events, bosses, farming, etc.

If you sit down to chat, the game doesn't flash at you to ‘do‘ something.

It doesn't impose a story on your character.

In short, you have a lot of freedom, which you can fill with your imagination."

"What makes me dream and excites me is being able to do things and experience reactions that I can't have in real life.

I love telling stories. Or reading them.

So being able to ‘live’ them in real time and add my own touch is fantastic.

I got a unique hat for an event I proposed. I love it!"

"Hahaha, I loved the events I proposed (and especially working with the team)!"

"It opened my eyes to the world of Atys.

The extended community has given me real-life friendships.

And lots of moments of relaxation and joy."

"Interacting with other players, unexpected twists and turns, and the depth our characters take on thanks to roleplay."

“Yeah.😃 I've met some great people through it, who I also know in real life. I even officiated at their wedding [in the game]!”

"I've made friends, which is the most important thing.

I've built a character with strengths and weaknesses.

I learned to write stories just for the pleasure of telling them.

I wrote scenarios just for the pleasure of getting everyone to play.

I had tasted a little of the joy of being a game master in tabletop RPGs. I found it again here."

“I discovered that I loved roleplaying, then I moved on to tabletop RPGs and then theater. So yes, it allowed me to explore certain parts of myself and then express myself outwardly.”

"I wanted to rediscover the joy of role-playing, but I didn't have as much time anymore, and our group of players had dispersed.

The ability to play more spontaneously without having to find a time that matches for everyone.

The most important to me: a story! Making my character live a life different from my own, but a life with all the joys and sorrows that entails."

"The main reason was really the inability to schedule a time to meet up with people. Then there was the fact that you could ‘follow‘ story arcs on the fly, depending on who was online.

For me, that's the big advantage of role-playing in MMORPGs: if there are enough role-players online, you can experience a different story every time you log in.

I didn't believe in real role-playing in an MMORPG. The fact that it was presented as “roleplay” was a bonus that I didn't really believe in. You could say that Ryzom lived up to my expectations. After that, I tried others and talked to other players, which helped me understand what makes for a good RPG in an MMORPG and why so many titles fail miserably in this regard.

Personally, it's the only one I've kept for role-playing, because it runs on Linux, there's a French-speaking community, it's visually appealing, and it has an attractive universe."
