Its like the closest thing to preCU SWG as you can get

NOT.. it is NOTHING like pre cu SWG..  that is probably the most insane post I have ever read.

its not gone completly free2play.

its jsut letting people play till they announce a price plan

oh lame

Because free 2 play means free to start playing and once ur into it around half way up the levels it turns into 20-30 bucks a month to get anything done. So that Free 2 play game just forces you to depend on a item mall to progress because all of them have to make money some how, Sure there maybe ways to do it without the cash shop thats an old argument bottom line if u dont use it after a certain level in EVERY free 2 play game you cant compete and you cant succeed.

There is no shop using real cash.

I think Ryzom is certainly one of the better MMOs. But as others said, it's not going to stay f2p - not for long, anyway.

And the reason why not everybody is "all over this", is that the game is not as intuitive to play as say WoW. You need to read the tutorials to actually understand what you are doing (like creating your own spells and crafting etc). Being a sandbox, it does not tell you how to play per se - which most people expect and want. Also, it has been around for a long time already - many have tested it previously and found it unappealing, or don't care for the art direction, or whatever. Unlike a newly released title, there is simply no hype for ryzom (which is what gets most people to try a game, I suppose).

Personally, I find it refreshing and hope that it will be able to stay afloat this time around.

The community is hedging it's bets on the normal $15 a month game.   Best part no box no paid expansions.

Calling something close is saying its very much alike....  another INSANE POST....  please get me outta here

Unlike some of you I really don't care if a game is "free" to play are not. Most of these games suck up many hours of your life on a weekly basis. Given that fact why should I care if I'm paying a pittance of $15 bucks each month? I'm already paying far more in other ways. Think of what you could do with that time if you weren't playing. Ok fine, its entertainment you say. But at least value your time in the equation.  A pay to play game "should" have much better content and support and if I'm going to spend all those hours, I'll spend it on a good product.

It's not 3D, I like 3D games.

Real ingame graphics:

very good looking for a game as old as it is something a bit worse would be very forgivable for a game that uses it's crafting, harvesting, and skill systems.

You are entitled to express a negative opinion if you want, but you can't lie: the game is 3D.

Saga Of Ryzom is now free to play and before this happened I tried the game. Somehow the game felt weird and I felt out of place. The skill system is a bit complicated and to develop a good skill it takes a lot of experimenting. I could not find a way to get away from the starting place and more so it was difficult to spot NPC?s. Back in 2004 when it was pay to play I tried the trial and the same feelings came in. Surely with the Atlantica Online, WAR and other betas I have no time to give it a shot. But once I am done I will surely take a look and see if the game is enjoyable.

How is Ryzom not a 3D game? From every PC I play it on it looks like a 3D to me, but I digress you are entitled to your opinion.

Quote "I just learn today saga of ryzom went completely free2play why isnt every one on this?" Unquote

     Why, because Ryzom is a pretty mediocre game, thats why.

While you are entitled to your opinion, I am a Pre-CU vet and this is the Closest game that I have found to that experience, which is my opinion and I played SWG for three years til August of 2006 when I went over to Ryzom.

I downloaded it, ran it, clicked on "create new account" and nothing happened.

That was it for me.
