I am guessing all this is over the many banners running on this site that say "Open Beta Begins in April".
Why is it that you all assume this means April 1st? Could this not mean April 30th as well?
From what I have heard from Themis over the past week I don't think there is any way they are going open beta in the next 1-2 weeks.
I am going to be contacting my rep to find out a status update on the beta accounts for the winners, I am pretty sure you will all be ok this week sometime.

The dead know only one thing: it is better to be alive.
I won a ticket for closed beta, and it's a shame that I didn't get to test it sooner, but it's no big deal. The only thing I'm "pissed" about (and I'd hardly go as far to say that I was pissed, especially because of a game), is that Lineage 2 beta let me in at about the same time I won SoR beta slot. So, I'm too busy with Lineage 2 now to really handle 2 games, testing wise, at once.
Originally posted by Brizahd I'm not pissed off, but I am disapointed. Never really won anything before, and was excited when I got that initial e-mail. Ah well life goes on.
Why do people not understand this simple statement by Brizahd. I am not mad either but being unable to currently beta the game does disappoint a lot of winners. WHICH IT SHOULD!!!
I am pissed at the d**n people who think we should not post our disappointment. Why do we not have that right. If all you nay sayers do not like these topics then just do not f*****g read them for cryin' out loud!!! How hard is it???? The facts are right in front of everyone so all the winners have a right to be disappointed. WHY?? Because we were told (BY THEMIS) that in 48-72 hours we would be contacted with further info to get into beta!!! WE HAVE NOT!!! Again, if Themis had any idea that they would be unable to accommodate MMORPG.com's 500 beta spot winners they should have notified people. Very simple isn't it. Why don't all these people flaming the winners understand why the winners are disappointed??? How hard is it??? Do you people even know what has happened??? If you are one of those flamers you should just bend over.....lift your skirt....and go kick your dog!!! Blasphemy!!!

I have some sad news. If any of you have a PC similar to mine, you won't be playing any Saga of Ryzom, at least until it is fixed. I had high hopes, once I finally got into the beta, but it was all for nothing as the beta is unplayable for me. If you are serious about SoR, I hope your specs are different from mine. Oh, the humanity.

Try this: go to the Ryzom configuration (outside of the game, it has all the graphic/sound settings). Go to Display: Display Advance, and check the box next to "Disable AGP for Vertex." Try it now. Hope it works.
Good luck.

Humm weird...I maxed out all the settings and it played fine on my machine which isn't that new...2.4Ghz P4, 768MB RAM, Geforce 4 ti 4600...like I said...about a year or more old and still plays fine. Hope Ominis's suggestion worked!

If you have an ATI card, along with unchecking the AGP vertex box in the Ryzom configuration, change the option from OpenGL to DirectX. The game performance is not good on ATI cards with the opengl. They are working on the DirectX implementation and it is in its first stages so has some problems, but supposedly makes ati card users run a whole lot better.
If this is breaking the NDA in any way please delete. It just seems like something they should already be telling the new incoming users. A lot of people are coming ingame and saying the graphics are terrible when the issue is with their ATI graphics card and the issue is being worked. (my graphics settings are all at the lowest possible settings and the game looks amazing) So if it looks bad to you, log into the live chat client and get help.
I don't think so, at least as far as I heard of. I have been in the last few phases of the beta and I haven't heard anyone say anything about the NDA being lifted. Also, this isn't exactly the open beta yet (according to Themis), because it is right now limited to a number of sites (but considering what sites they are, it might as well be open beta).

Not mad because of winning the contest. Took them over 3 weeks to get the accounts activated for the winners, DID NOT explain why it took so long to the winners but gave it to a 3rd party to post why and right before the winners got thier accounts activated, they (Ryzom) began displaying an OPEN BETA graphic. So you can see the winners did have a right to be a bit upset.
If your intent was to actually test the game in the closed phase, you shouldn't be "mad" because you can still test in the "open" phase.
If you just wanted to play a new game for free, your intentions are not in the best interest for the future Development of the game and again should not be "mad".

Didn't the NDA lift with the game going to open beta then?

Let me get this straight, you're MAD because you won an invite, but it's not exclusive enough?
I see...
Not mad because of winning the contest.
