The Saga of Ryzom

Excellent News!!!  Ryzom was one of the BEST MMOs EVER created for sandbox and atmosphere.

A thing of beauty.

I was in awe when I first tried this game, the 'feeling' of the game is very unique and has been said before Ryzom has a soul that other games lack.

I just shed tear.

I dont say much here, but this is worth a post, hope its realy true, waiting now since the server have been shutdown. Ryzom must go on ! :)

The 1st thing I noticed when playing the Ryzom trial was the fact it made me feel like I really was on another planet in some strange Universe it was truly amazing. The AI in the game was the best I have ever seen in any mmo ever made. I really do hope they get it going soon I am sick of the current games and ready to dive into ryzom full throttle. This game deserves way better exposure than it got. I cannot wait and if the current owners of Ryzom are reading these posts People are now growing sick of wow and some of the other mmos. Market this game right and you will reap huge rewards and thanks for bringing this game back:P

Ohyes, I fully agree with all of you.

It´d be just great to have the game back, but also to have finally some of the things they promised back when it launched.

I´m reluctant to use the word "contend" here, because everyone thinks differently of what exactly this "contend" is anyway ;)

Regardless the old battle between player and developer will return. And the old saying will once more be proven true: "You just can´t please everyone."

And while some few will accept changes and new additions and will try to incorporate them into their gameplay or outright ignore them but will continue playing, others will cry treason and random unfairness on the devs side for not bringin in theri pet idea of what would fill the term "contend" to their liking.

It will be business as usual, so I´ll be happy

As long as it does not turn into another WoW clone because "the majority" demands it, I´m contend.

It´s got to retain its uniqueness and its different approach to MMO-Gaming. If not, well it might be more "successful" but it will be living proof of the fact that millions of flys can´t be wrong and we should all be eating more offal.

A nieche for the more serious players is needed. And by serious I don´t mean "seriously equiped" or "seroiusly Pwning", I mean those that otherwise "care" about a game, as opposed to raiding untill they drop of starvation. Those that see it for what it is, a game, a hobby, a way to relax and just to play.

Not a second job with obligations that interfere with real life and for people who are mature in the true sense of the word. Not looking for boobs, or blood, or for boosting a damaged ego. But for roads to get to know likeminded folks, creative minds that will share their experience, rather than laughing at you for being new to the games world. Only having scorn for those who treat others badly and not for those who try to make friends and might ask for help.

We´ll see what will come of it all.

Just pray that it will return soon (tm)

So sick of AoE 3...please comeback, Ryzom!

Man, I have some history with Sage of Ryzom. SoR was the first MMORPG that I EVER (emphasis on ever) played that allowed customization other than face, hair. The ability to change your chest size, facial markings, nose height, it all amazed me.

Back then, I was still new to MMORPG's and this was impressive to me. Even today, after all the games i've played I can easily say that this game was one of the best and original.

Harvesting was amazing. The way you chose your abilities before character creation made each individual stand out for what they took extra "choices" in via: creating their character. 

The environment was one of a kind. I have also yet to see other character models from other MMO's that look as the ones from SoR did. 

I hope that this game comes back as much as any other true SoR fan does. It stood out from the rest of the games these days. While it would need a LOT of updates to catch up with the current MMO market, I'm sure the right developers could do it. At this point I think it's just hoping for smart Dev's.

I'll only go back if it is the original Ryzom sans the dumbass PvP.
