Where are we with MMORPG Ryzom, 13 years after its release?
Ryzom is a multiplayer online role-playing game "Science-fantasy", type liberty focused mmo. Playable on Windows, Linux and Mac and present on Steam and Apple Store, it is available in English, French, German, Russian and Spanish. The game takes place on Atys, an enchanting and singular planet, shaped by the gigantic growth of a vegetation with excessive roots. It is populated by intelligent plants, harmless herbivores but also fearsome predators. You can play as one of the four humanoid races populating it: the Fyros, the Matis, the Trykers and the Zoraïs, and choose to join one of the factions of the game: the kamists, the karavans, the rangers, the marauders. Roleplay game, liberty focused mmo, no character class and consensual PVP, Ryzom has enough to seduce many types of players. For more information:
One of Ryzom's major assets is its community itself. Small compared to others, it has the advantage of being on a human scale, both welcoming and friendly. Mutual aid is real and spontaneous. Multilingual while keeping the family spirit, it will accompany you by communicating in English, French, German, Spanish or Russian.
Ryzom is one of the few commercial MMORPG to be open source: client, server, tools, and media. Being open source means that it attracts a vibrant community that provides corrections and features far beyond those that the internal team can do. This offers players a unique opportunity to get involved in the development of the game (Ryzom Core, Ryzom Forge). The game community is also often asked to test a future addition and make suggestions for improvements. This translates into regular Ryzom Forge meetings: https://app.ryzom.com/app_forum/index.php?page=topic/view/28116/
Small dynamic game, Ryzom is in perpetual movement, in particular thanks to its numerous volunteers:
Who would have thought that Ryzom, MMORPG born a distant day in 2004, would still be present 13 years later? And yet, despite its ageing graphics, it is undeniably there... and well there! What are the reasons for this surprising longevity?

Enter a unique science fantasy MMORPG and dive into a unique organic living world !
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!
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!
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!
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?
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!
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.
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!
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.
Opensource
Ryzom is one of only a few commercial-grade MMORPGs that are fully open source: client, server, tools, and media.
