Server Merger & Management

Developer Nevrax recently announced that the two English language shards of The Saga of Ryzom, European English-speaking shard Arispotle and US shard Windermeer, will be merged into one shard in the coming few days. The new shard will keep the Arispotle name.

In conjunction with the server merger, Themis Group will be handing off customer support and community management of the US playerbase to Jolt Online Gaming Ltd. Jolt currently hosts all of Ryzom’s servers and manages the game’s English-speaking European community. Themis Group will continue to market and promote The Saga of Ryzom in North America.

“Jolt Online Gaming is looking forward to the challenge of continuing the level of service established by the Themis Group and growing the newly integrated North American and European communities as The Saga of Ryzom enters this exciting new phase in its life,” said Dominic Silk, CEO of Jolt.

The CEO of Themis Group, Alexander Macris, stated, “We are confident that the English speaking Ryzom community will benefit from this merger, and we look forward to continuing in our role as Nevrax’s partner in bringing The Saga of Ryzom to new audiences.”

The organizational changes associated with the server merger will occur by the end of the month. In the announcement, CEO of Nevrax, David Cohen, assured players of an easy transition, and mentioned Nevrax’s plans for additional steps in the coming months to add to and streamline the current game, highlighting new features currently under development.

“This is just the first of several important steps we are taking to ensure that The Saga of Ryzom lives up to its full potential,” said Cohen. “At this year's E3, we will open entirely new horizons for the players of Ryzom, with never before seen means to impact both the game world and the game story.”
