Major Patch - 14th December
 

Looks like the patch for the first part of the major content is on the 14th December.

A brief description is found on the news section of the main ryzom site.

Anyone on the ATS care to give a tad more info on these changes.....?

ooo sounds like plenty of nice stuff, but it'd be a first for any mmo (to my knowlegde) to put in this much of what players have requested :P ya ok im in a skeptical mood.. dang its cold here...

Re: Major Patch - 14th December
 

Ooooo, event chat channels sound very useful indeedy :D

Improvements to ranged weapons also sound very interesting...

However, you're right - this info is no longer displayed on the homepage!

Re: Major Patch - 14th December
 

sounds cool :)

Re: Major Patch - 14th December
 

Not only does it sound cool but, the news is back on the main site...!

3 patches - loads of stuff in each one !

Shame that all the people who left because, there was no content are going to miss out on all the lovely patch goodness!

Unique Items - to keep the Diablo fans happy

Hair and tatoos - for the 'fashion' crowd

Bigger boss mobs - to challange the fighters

Music - for the people who wanted 'atmosphere'

Hard mekkies - for the roving merchants

chat channels - for the noisey ones.

The first part of this 3 patch Extravaganza, forfills most of the requests by players.

what can I say other than WOOT!

Looks at those who wanted more content, and says ... here ya go this what you want?

Re: Major Patch - 14th December
 

I think we should start a re-recruitment drive, if anyone is interested? :)

Once we have some of this patch content, we could all get in touch with old friends who left (if possible), and let them know what they're missing. I for one would desperately like to see some old friends back again, and this could well be the reason for their return!

Congrats to Nevrax, here's hoping Chapter 2 lives up to our (massive) expectations! :D

Is there anything about the possibility to name my Packers? Pack1, Pack2, Pack3....
I want to be able to edit their names.
