Ryzom moves to Freemium model! (May 31st 2017)
The subscription-based gaming system as proposed by Ryzom until May 31, 2017 was common when the game was released in 2004. But it is no longer in line with what is being done today and above all, no longer responds the expectations of a part of our community nor of our potential future players. Indeed, our current system does not allow a player who unsubscribes to continue playing under his account. This incites a number of players not to subscribe to avoid this inconvenience, and prevents our old subscribers from freely returning to the game.
Ryzom now includes two account modes: Free to play mode, with basic gameplay but sufficient to play the whole game correctly, and Premium mode, offering additional game options. Free to play mode This is the default mode of the account. This mode is applied to all characters in accounts that do not or no longer subscribe to the Premium option, including those with one or more skills risen above 125. Features of the Free to play mode:

As we announced last September, we have been working for several months at the redesign of Ryzom to freemium game. We are pleased to announce this work is completed and this major change will be implemented on May 31, 2017.
Why this change?
The subscription-based gaming system as proposed by Ryzom until May 31, 2017 was common when the game was released in 2004. But it is no longer in line with what is being done today and above all, no longer responds the expectations of a part of our community nor of our potential future players. Indeed, our current system does not allow a player who unsubscribes to continue playing under his account. This incites a number of players not to subscribe to avoid this inconvenience, and prevents our old subscribers from freely returning to the game.
What is changing, practically?
Ryzom now includes two account modes: Free to play mode, with basic gameplay but sufficient to play the whole game correctly, and Premium mode, offering additional game options. Free to play mode This is the default mode of the account. This mode is applied to all characters in accounts that do not or no longer subscribe to the Premium option, including those with one or more skills risen above 125. Features of the Free to play mode:
- Skill levels capped at 125.
- Equipment: possibility to equip and use objects of maximum 150 quality.
- Foraging: extraction of raw materials of maximum 150 quality.
- Basic (i.e. excluding rites' bonuses, potions ...) Hit Points, Sap, Stamina and Focus are capped at 1,500 points each.
- Crafting: quality of manufactured items capped at 150.
- Means of storage: 1 mount
- Available services: - Assistance from the Support Team. - A change of pseudonym allowed for each character.
- Doubled gain of XP points.
- Skill levels: until the maximum possible ingame.
- Equipment: until the maximum possible ingame.
- Foraging: until the maximum possible ingame.
- Crafting: until the maximum possible ingame.
- Means of storage: 1 mount, 3 mektoub packers, 1 apartment, 1 guild hall.
- Available services: - Assistance from the Support Team. - Restoration of old accounts (subscribed prior to the merge of the game servers) in order to recover the characters. - Restoration of character(s) in the event of voluntary or accidental suppression. - Transfer of character(s) between two Premiumaccounts belonging to the same person. - A change of pseudonym allowed every six months for each character.
- Only items of quality under 150 can be equipped. Any item of higher quality is retained but locked.
- Storage of items is only allowed on the mount or the first packer if no mount is owned. (From the moment a mount is bought, it becomes the only mektoub that can be used to store objects). It is possible to retrieve items from the other mektoubs but these cannot receive no deposit.
What is changing for all players?
- The quality of the harvesting pickaxes no longer results in area restriction, but in restriction of the quality of the harvested materials (except for mission materials).
- Foraging: care-planning of a source by a character under Free to Play is possible only if this character is in team with the source harvestor. The quality of the harvested mats will then be capped to 150, even if the one who is harvesting is in Premium mode.
- On the other hand, a character in Premium mode can still help a Free to Play by doing care-planning on its sources, being out of team.
- Other restrictions could apply in the event of major forgetfulness or significant inconsistency.

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!

And what if, one day, the Kitin were to win again, threatening hominity for the third time?Consensual PVP
