Well, Ryzom isn't failing, just Nevrax, and actually it's more like, Ryzom got SOLD :P *pokes in side and giggles*

Ryzom as a game is cool enough, gets developed in a pretty similar way as other games, quite a few people enjoy it and play it, Nevraw being a small french company it's not surprising they don't have the money for developing more and putting up a lot of adds to attract the players that actually do want something diffren that Wow, so no I'm not surprised that Nevrax needs to sell either, I haven't decided wether I think it's good or bad yet though, only time can tell :)

Dunno what will be a good solution, the open source version can either go brilliantly or horribly.

*hugs atys tightly* the feel of first open beta will always be in my heart ^^

I dont think it was "causing more debts". I think it was "not enough to get out of debts". But that's just me guessing.

I certainly hope the latter is the case, because it would be attractive to potential buyers if it was self sustaining - gaining a bit of profits. It just wasn't enough to pull Nevrax out of its initial development debts.

I love how people are so quick to begin "recruiting" others to their game.
DDO in my opinion was a failure in itself. It was created after WoW was already out for some time, and the graphics they came up with were little to be proud of, in my opinion. I mean, that game out of every game I have played aside from Lineage II is the laggiest game out there (mainstream-wise). The controls are terrible and it's just downright hard to get into.

As for Ryzom. Ryzom is still quite strong and doing well since the purchase of Gameforge. I think I have seen more players than ever, because with turmoil brings company to gawk and find out whats going on.

The more people this turmoil brings in, the more will stay for the long run, making the game so much nicer; since it has such an awesome community.

While it is currently annoying with its downtimes during the transfer process, it is understandable and people are making the best of it.

Do us all a favor and keep your recruiting comments to places where they are needed, because they arent needed here.

Shezombie i remember u :P.  I played closed Beta 2.3 through Open/Focus Beta to release :P.  Ryzom had huge potetial and yea some parts of beta were great, submitting bug reports and stuff :P. 

But i doubt ryzom will jump back from this, the product has been causing debts for nevrax for a long time.

As for jumping back from this. The game has and will completely be back in full force, maybe better then it ever had been since it has been purchased by Gameforge. It's obvious that Nevrax did not have the capabilities of making it a huge MMO, but with Nevrax + Gameforge I think this game is going to go somewhere.

On MMORPG.COM it is already much higher then most of the mainstream games out there. I think Ryzom will do just fine in the long run.

Lets wait and see.

The game isn't free, they just created a newbie island  and put you on it.  Then they let you level to 10 before you have to pay for it.  Similar to EQ2 and their Trial of the Isle.  Am trying the game now.  It's learning curve is EXTREMELY high.  The only reason I want to keep playing it is because of the animals intereaction with the world (pee on you, herds, drink water, etc...).

and most are happy coz it didnt get "freed"

(and in this I will note ryzom would not have been free to play just freed into the hands of a total opportunist company)

gogo gameforge :)

I never much liked Nevrax from the very beginning of Ryzom, actually from early beta.  Now that Ryzom is free and being developed by others, I may try it again.  I always found it to be very interesting, but just didn't get too involved because of the very bad first impression I got when the game was first released. 

By the way, who IS developing Ryzom now?  Did folks actually raise all the money needed to buy the code and stuff?  That's great if they did, and I am glad to see this mmo is still alive.   Now if only someone would buy Dark and Light and rework it into something decent.

There are no plans, other than the existing trial, for the game to be free.
