Well thats a question i heard a couple of times during the CC5 event. Why? Because i put a trailer of the game on the beamer in between some matches. So here is a little information about it:
Ryzom is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the independent French studio Nevrax. The game launched in September 2004 under the name 'The Saga of Ryzom' and received little attention at the time. In August 2006, the name was simplified to 'Ryzom' for marketing purposes. Ryzom is labeled as Science-Fantasy by the creators due to storyline elements that are typically found in both science fiction and fantasy genres.
The game's engine, NeL, was created by Nevrax and licensed under the GPL. In addition there is a addon called Ring where you can even build your own scenario's and play it with your friends.
The game takes place on the planet Atys. Unlike normal planets, Atys is an enormous tree large enough to sustain an atmosphere and multiple ecosystems on its surface and within immense networks of branches and roots.
Four distinct humanoid races, or “homins”, came to exist on Atys hundreds of years prior to the game's current timeline (although it is not specified how or why) and developed into separate, fairly isolated societies in their own favored ecosystems. Interacting benevolently with all four homin cultures, but hostile towards each other, were two additional and far more advanced races: the magical Kami and the technological Karavan. Kami are depicted as elusive, chaotic, playful, and highly protective of Atys. The Karavan are more secretive and never shown outside their environmental suits or far from their machinery.
Yer yer its like World of Warcraft, but A. Ryzom was release earlier and B. i find the graphics and overall gameplay better. Ryzom cant help they really suck in PR and marketing. But the compansate nicely with for example volounteer development and story teams so players cant actually contribute in the game itself.
Are you interested? Look at www.ryzom.com and create a (free) trial account.
