I'm sorry you feel that way.

 

maybe they'll launch 2 servers... one with the old DB and the other with a fresh one.

My guess is that the Fresh one will be just as populated as the Old one... I know I'd play on a fresh one, because it's a different feel and people like to be at the forefront of exploring a gameworld.

I'd most definitely play on the old server if they create a new one, as I'd like to play with the people I used to play with, thanks. Whether a new server may make one *feel* as if they're at the forefront of exploring, the fact is that one is not. Those on the old server would have done that years ago.

I was on Silan when the servers were closed down and I'm a casual gamer (because I'm getting old and because of time constraints).

But I have to say that the presence of old vets on the server you've chosen is really a nice thing ... SoR is a game that may be played in several ways but the learning curve may be discouraging. The community has always been so warm and helpful ... you're going to need the old players.

I hope they will start at least two servers ... one with the old DB and one completely fresh.

Anyway, time to watch the old community trailer: click

Who owns it now?  I kinda left and decided not to return after it went back up again with gameforge the first time due to the fact that it seemed to not be on a stable financial footing and low and behold it went under again.    I have not seen any mention of who owns the thing now or did gameforge decide to keep it?  I kinda want a company with money to run it so that in another 6 months its not shut down a third time lol.

The latest news still didn't discovered the name of the company. The only thing we know is that the owners should be french, and some of the devs involved were part of the first time dev team that started the development under Nevrax in 2000.

Actually, most of us want first of all to jump in Atys asap, but we are pretty sure that, when they will reopen the new website and decide to reopen the game fully, they sure will give us the info regarding how they wanna develop the game.

Just to repeat something already told by other players, this time is different from GF 'era', because GF was forced to pay the debts *and* to pay the whole old company for at least one year.

Now, the new owner have all the assets, free of debt and with no forced expenses other than what they have decided to invest.

So, the scenario seems a lot more promising, as the new owner could have all the funds necessary to give Ryzom a brighter future. Anyway we have just to wait and see. And the wait is now really short.

So you had to be subbed at the time Ryzom closed to get in, not just someone with a long history of playing this wonderful game..? Heh.

This is really exciting news. I'll def be there the day the servers reopen.

Viva la Ryzom!
(And yeah.. sucks that Jericho was canned. Best show ever..)

two more announcements of the new owners btw.

One about looking for new volunteers to translate the game to spanish and russian (and maybe portugese).
You can find it here

Then a second message today about opening the servers to anybody who had an active account when the game closed (including the free trials on the starter isle)
You can find this message here

Hopefully more news to come!

nope - can't get into the game or post on their forums - my account was still active but i had not left the noobie island

ah well, guess i have to wait a bit longer

This is rather annoying...I can log into the forums with my trial account but it says that I do not have permission to post and I still cannot log into the game.

Seems the people who canceled subs can't login either, so it -should- be everybody that had a active subscription when the game died, and all free trial accounts...

(Although person above me said his free trail doesnt work either)

(I asume you guys downloaded the client-fixer and run it?)

You owe me a Stinga Rum when you get ingame, so send me a /tell when you are there ;)

i'm gonna assume you don't have to run the client fixer if you downloaded the torrent of the current client last week

or maybe not

Not sure.

If you cant get in if you downloaded the new client, try the fixer...

ran the fixer - got a message that client is fine but still can't get in

screw it!

when i receive a personal invitation to come back to the game i'll have to think about it - if i'm not busy with something else by then
