How I found my preferred MMORPG
It was around november 2004. At the time my only MMO experience (3D MMO, i'm not going to speak about all the MUDs I played) was Anarchy Online and the unlucky 2 months in URU Prologue (Myst Online). I was deciding what fantasy MMO to try and, having already discarded WoW, because of my bad feeling with Blizzard, I ended up to buy Everquest II.
When I was at a store, looking for the EQ2 box, my eyes were captured by another very nice box, related to an unknown to me MMORPG: The Saga of Ryzom.
The beautiful cover and all the story written outside the box in a very well translated local language really catched my attention, so I decided to buy both games. I was out the store with the collectors edition of EQ2 and the normal edition of SoR.
I really bought SoR blinded, not knowing anything of the game.
Well, just to make this story not too long, I played EQ2 just few months (around 3 months) while I played Ryzom more than 3 years, till the shutdown of the servers in february 2008. And no other following MMO, played or trialed, could steal my soul from the wonderful living planet Atys.
I'm still happy to be part of the great Ryzom Community and I'm waiting the game fully back up soon, as announced.

"This game seems very original."

City of Heroes | Playing: 2005

Server: Laurelin (EN-RP)

Characters:

Gilgameesh, Elf Champion — I don't remember at what level I left

Myst Online: Uru Live | Playing: 2003-2008

A. Outdoor activities, movies

Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. I don't want to cancel any game, even the worse game in my opinion

Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. They can be.

Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember? (Answer!)
A. I don't know, I skip flamewars

Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I tried one time, it lasted just 5 minutes. I cannot play characters of the opposite sex.

Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. No music, i love environment sounds

Q. Are you interested in working within the game industry? (Answer!)
A. I would, but i think i'm a bit old now to start thinking on that.

Q. Do you use voice chat? (Answer!)
A. Yes, but only when absolutely needed

Q. Ninjas or pirates? (Answer!)
A. I prefer to rise above such debates

Q. How many hours a week do you play? (Answer!)
A. 10-20

Q. What sort of tools (calculators, builders, spreadsheets, etc.) do you use to plan your characters? (Answer!)
A. I can use any kind, but not often. Anyway i never use tools at beginning, to avoid spoiling the fun.

Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
A. I like a single instanced world, sandbox style with soryline-quests only, player-made items only, and classless. Exactly the opposite of all that the actual MMO's offer.

Q. What sort of players annoy you the most? (Answer!)
A. Same as in real life: stupid people.

Q. Have you ever had a romantic encounter with someone you met in a game? (Answer!)
A. I did not ever happen

Q. What do your characters and avatars usually look like? (Answer!)
A. It depends on the game they live.

Q. Have you ever had a memorable real-life meeting with other gamers? (Answer!)
A. No

Q. What are your favorite tabletop (RPG, board, miniatures, etc.) games? (Answer!)
A. O liked some old board game (monopoly, risk), but i don't play any now.

Q. Where did you get your gaming names from? (Answer!)
A. Sumer legend about immortality, one of the ancient masterpieces, is my favourite name, if I can do. Otherwise they depend by the context of the game.

Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. I prefer being IC naturally instead of forcing the language. I don't RP but I am always IC while playing.

Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)
A. Anything that can affect the balance of the game experience of the players is really really BAD. The 'rich' and the 'poor' should always play with same advantages in online games. MMOs should not be the same as real life.

Q. What is a feature you would like added to GamerDNA? (Answer!)
A. PvP? Joking :)

Q. Do your quiz results on GamerDNA reflect your personality, and if not, what did it get wrong? (Answer!)
A. I think they reflect my gaming personality pretty well

Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
A. Official forums, mmorpg.com, mmorpgitalia.it, some game fansite.

Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. Uhm, being a bit 'old', i remember the first ever videogame: 'pong'.

Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. I like it If it's meaningful

Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. They are good if they don't exploit the game.

Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game? (Answer!)
A. Dinging 2 masters almost at same time in Ryzom was a great feeling: Avatar of Destruction (250 offensive magician) and Master of Blade (250 2h sword). Reaching a total of 3 masters (also Celestial Guardian, 250 defensive magician) and almost another (240 Lake Forager) not counting other skills at 150+ and 200+ was an hard job, but it was the best fun i ever had.

A. I have beta tested some game.

A. Male

Q. If you could meet any game developer, who would it be? (Answer!)
A. Raph Koster, because he's one of the few that speaks about virtual worlds and not just games.<br>Rand Miller, because Myst is in my heart.<br>Entire Nevrax team for the fantastic concept that was Ryzom.

Q. What is the most overlooked or misunderstood game? (Answer!)
A. Ryzom. Many people that joined few days before the shutdown (because of the free trial available) were angry because they didn't know about this beautiful and unique game before. Unfortunately the devs did'nt done anything to ads properly the game.

A. My brain, also if it seems often empty.

Q. Why do you join guilds or clans? (Answer!)
