The arrival of the Scenographic Editor is the first public stage of our great project to make the Ryzom Arkitect creation tool available to all our players. What is the Scenographic Editor? The Scenographic Editor is the first module of Ryzom Arkitect to be made available to you. From the beginning of 2017, there will gradually be different modules that will in the end make Ryzom Arkitect a complete Scenario Editor, enabling everyone to create personal content. Specifically, the Scenographic Editor will allow you to place a scenery on maps of the game by adding static objects of your choice, among more than 3600 objects, constructions, pieces of armor and elements of vegetation accessible in the database. The interface allows to place the different elements of the decoration with the mouse, which gives a great ease of use. Different options accessible via context menus allow you to refine the result. Thus, it is possible to place an object in all the space (axes X, Y and Z), but also to resize or rotate it. The Scenographic Editor will also replace the current edition of apartment objects via Ryzhome and will pave the way for a "Halls of Guild" version of Ryzhome. You should then have the opportunity to furnish your guild halls. A two-step opening The Scenographic Editor will be opened in two stages : first one, in beta, will allow you to test the tool on a map. It will be implemented on December 23rd during a client patch. The second, giving access to almost 100 maps (the old Ryzom Ring instances), will be implemented at the beginning of 2017. Starting December 23, the Scenographic Editor will allow you to create your own Christmas village on an island. A "Ring" teleporter will allow you to go to this island and then return to your starting point.You will be able to create different scenes which will be private, in order to make tests. Once you are happy with your creation you will be able to make one public so that your village can be visited by all. Note that for the first time, the Silanese will be able to leave the training island thanks to the teleporter "Ring", destined to the Christmas Village, before returning exclusively to Silan by the same means. This novelty is a prelude to the gameplay modification planned for early 2017 : free comings and goings for all between Silan and the Continent. One step closer to "Power to Players" Thanks to the forthcoming opening of the Scenographic Editor and then the Scenario Editor, both components of the Ryzom Arkitect authoring tool, we are taking another step towards "Power to Players" which, more than ever , remains our motto.

Enter a unique science fantasy MMORPG and dive into a unique organic living world !

Opensource

Ryzom is one of only a few commercial-grade MMORPGs that are fully open source: client, server, tools, and media. Being open source means that Ryzom draws on a vibrant community providing fixes and functionality above and beyond that of what the team can provide. It offers players a unique opportunity to become involved in the development of the game.

Sandbox

Far from being a frozen world, Ryzom is constantly evolving in regard to your actions. Will you spark another war? Will you found a lucrative commercial guild or aim for political power? What if your hunting talents could be decisive in the struggle against Kitins?

Pick your actions well, for each one of them may impact the world and its inhabitants!

Classless

Ryzom characters are unusual in that they are not bound to a class. That means you don't have to choose between being a warrior, a mage, a harvester or a crafter. You can improve your skills in all these classes with only one character; you do not need to focus on one path. For example, you can, at your leisure, either train your pike handling, put on your magic amplifiers to heal or cast offensive spells, pick up your pickaxe and harvest materials, or go into crafting a new armor or weapon.

You have absolute freedom!

Roleplay

Ryzom offers official interactive events (with live NPC's), regular and varied, that evolve according to your actions. Nothing is preordained!
Would you like to create your own event? The Animation Team is always at your disposal and will gladly support and assist in logistics.
In addition, many guilds are prepared to open their doors to help your character evolve!

For lovers of imaginary languages, the players and Animation Team have created unique languages. Roleplay immersion guaranteed!

Invasions

Picture yourself, in front of a city gate, looking at a far hill and sighting the scouts of a Kitin swarm. Now picture hundreds of Kitins following them, moving like a united and swarming army. Huge battles call for the cooperation of a great part of the community to counter these threatening invasions. And what if, one day, the Kitin were to win again, threatening hominity for the third time?

Consensual PVP

You can fight everywhere, but only when you wish to do so. Duels, outposts battles, faction of region fights... You are free to engage in them... or abstain!

Advanced Forage & Harvest

Ryzom features an advanced havesting and crafting system.

Harvesting - allows you to dig materials from the ground depending on season and weather and your skill. It's not so simple once predators get involved!

Crafting - Careful combination of materials depending on their characteristics and colors, allows production of unique weapons and armors. Thousands of recipes are possible.

Living mobs

A powerful A.I. system allows for a realistic wildlife behavior: carnivores attack herbivorous herds, realistic and dynamic animal motions make them lively, sometimes endearing, other times worrisome. There are also mass migrations on season changes and different behavior for different species. Take your time to sit and observe the life around you, it's an unforgettable view. But be careful of predators!

Dynamic environment

Ryzom is a 3D persistent world consisting of five lush and varied ecosystems. Landscape, wildlife behavior and ground material availability all change according to season, weather and time.

Discover the beauty of the Forest in the spring, do battle in the Jungle in a rainstorm under a summer sky streaked with lightning, lose yourself in the dunes of the Desert in the fall, or relax enjoying the reflections of a winter sun on the pure water of the Lakes.

Full character customization

Entirely customizable character appearance upon creation: shape your avatar the way you like it!
