Does anyone use the Ryzom Ring?

Lately, I’ve noticed that a few people in the blogosphere have recently given Ryzom another shot which got me to thinking;  Does anyone actually use the Ryzom Ring?  I know that it’s there, and when I gave Ryzom a shot, I played with it a little bit, but when I looked to see if there were any scenarios, there never were.  Perhaps I was just unlucky when I looked, but this lead me to believe that the greatest player-based content creation tool out there wasn’t even being used.  Am I missing something?  Has this changed in the three or so months that I haven’t played?  Is there a reason people don’t use it?  Maybe some of you can fill me in on this, I’d love to know.

Time Travel in MMO’s

Something that Lars and Fred have been talking about is a time travel MMO.  While there are a lot of pitfalls that need to be a avoided, I think the possibilities are endless.  I don’t have a lot to say about this yet as I’m still mulling over some ideas,  but here is something to check out if you are interested in this stuff at all.  It’s the Grandfather Paradox.  The basic premise is used in Back to the Future, but its an interesting read, so go look through it.  I might be back today, not sure yet   If not, then definitely tomorrow.
