Oh, it might not be the default go-to MMO for most players, but it definitely has a dedicated playerbase and an active development schedule. The game went open source back in 2010 to be developed by the community, with additional guidance and support from Winch Gate Property Ltd.Ĭontinuing with the theme of Steam, Ryzom debuted on Valve’s platform as a F2P title a year ago and has been doing OK for itself ever since. This beautiful and alien French MMO has been trucking along for a rocky but interesting 12 years now. So it has another 20 years to go, I think.” This one only went officially live back in 2010. There are older MMOs out there still running. In late 2016, Smart addressed the game’s existence, saying, “The game is self-sustaining in that we don’t have to do much to keep it running and active for those playing it. This pack included the playable Ourobani race, a Warden companion class, flying mounts, and a streamlined leveling experience. Last year a $10 expansion pack, Rise of the Ourobani, was released. That June, Smart rose to the game’s defense, saying that “review bombers” would be banned from the community. It’s a World of Warcraft clone that’s been around a while now, not really shaking anything up but apparently doing enough traffic to warrant its own existence.Īlganon made the jump onto Steam in the spring of 2016, although it didn’t seem to benefit the free-to-play MMO much, as it was peppered with strongly negative reviews. Probably best known as “The other MMO that’s being run by Internet Warlord Derek Smart,” Alganon has kept a very low profile yet is still in operation. Have suggestions for future installments in this series? That’s what the comments are for, brah. In today’s post, we’re going to see what’s going on (if anything) with Alganon, Ryzom, and Forsaken Legends, three titles that haven’t been in the spotlight for a while.

The response back in March to the first column in this series was positive enough that it warranted a follow-up with a different trilogy of games to investigate. Well, that’s what I’m here for, gentle readers. If you don't already have an active Ryzom account you won't be able to play Ryzom yet.ĭon't worry though, we plan to reopen the account activation pages shortly once again, we will let you know as soon as it happens.įor more information, and to keep an eye on when you can create a Ryzom account, please check the Saga of Ryzom Official Site.Ever find yourself wondering, “Whatever happened to so-and-so? We never hear about that MMO in the news any more! Is it still running? Does it still have a loyal community? How will I find out about these things if I am too lazy to Google it?” This means that Ryzom is still closed to newcomers as the creation of new accounts is not yet permitted.
Ryzom super nodes for free#
Yes, even if you previously only had a free trial you can now once more log into Ryzom for free with all your stored characters! The only restrictions still applied to the free trial accounts will be the level cap and the geographical limitation to the starter island "Ruins of Silan", but these restrictions will not last long either! We will keep you posted on all of this when the time comes.ĪTTENTION for those of you waiting to step onto Atys for the first time, please don't forget that we are still in a re-launch and testing phase. These past weeks we also re-opened the servers to our former Ryzom subscribers to thank them all for their patience with a totally free VIP access and as we are very happy with how this VIP phase progressed we have now decided to expand the access to our servers to everybody who already had an active account, free trial included. If you weren't a subscriber before, you'll have to wait a little bit longer until it's open to the public. Indeed, the servers are now running once again, and all players who had accounts in good standing at the server shutdown (including trial accounts) are welcome to come back and play. Now, after much toil and hard work, it seems as if the new company has brought the game back. When the company that developed Ryzom went bankrupt, the servers had shut down, and the IP sold as the company liquidated. While it's been a long journey, Saga of Ryzom has done what not many MMOs before it have - resurrected.
Must have had a real good healer with them
