Ryzom official site
Ryzom Re-Review (MMORPG.com)
Final Score
7.25
Average
Pros
Crafting is more than a half-baked mini-game
Lots of progression
Unique level system
Cons
Performance issues up the wazoo
Terrible inventory system
Uiltimately grind oriented
Uncertain future
The sad fact of Ryzom is that it is a great game that has deserved so much more but unfortunately has not received the attention so desperately needed. The progress of the game over the last few years, aside from one or two events, hasn't amounted to much as no real new content has been added. While on a purely gaming basis I can unreservedly recommend Ryzom, as an MMORPG I cannot, the game simply does not have the required numbers to really make the game enjoyable and worthwhile. As I write this I feel a sense of conflict as my words could condemn the game even further but the truth is, Ryzom is a very empty, under populated game and unfortunately a lot of the content on offer seemingly would make use of a higher body count. To close; if you can cope with the low population, give Ryzom a try, you may find something you adore.
