after seeing this trailer [

I really want to play this game. I'd even pay for it, after testing it first.
I think making this game f2p would really destroy it's good community. maybe lowering it's fee down to like 5$/month would be a good deal?
I'm sure that they can still run the server from that money and it won't be that much either.
Btw, about that video and some other ones of Ryzom.......what's with these big caravans and those big, big mounts(?).....looks like the trading-system of SRO, IMO. Would be cool to have something similar in that game, because I really liked that one feature of SRO.
Ah and again:
what does this game offer what other games don't? :P
