Ryzom News - Nevrax Going Into Receivership
Posted by Dana Massey on Nov 20, 2006 | 44 comments in our forums
It's been tough times for the ambitious French developers Nevrax. Today, the company announced that next month their company would be going into receivership.

So basically, while these negotiations are ongoing, everything else is business as usual.
