That's so sadly true...

Let's hope it can actually keep running this time.

I think the biggest issue with Saga of Ryzom is its PR, or it's lack thereof. The game lacked serious hype and advertisement. I think a lot of people will enjoy Saga of Ryzom if they just gave it a chance.

SoR's problem was that it kept unapologetically chasing away customers instead of catering to them.

I bought the game at launch and their first patch was an unmitigated disaster that killed the playerbase. I know a lot more people left when it turned into a PvP game.

They've also had a lot of good ideas they just never delivered on like Rites, Kitin Wars, goo infections,  underwater adventure and more they just never delivered on.

If they offer a fresh server, a new start, then it should draw in a lot of people, but if they offer an existing 4 year old server, then I am not interested.

Hopefully it's coming back soon.  I'm looking forward to giving it another shot.  Heard alot of good things about it since I last played in beta.

I have never played this game but I am interested in it. I saw this one youtube clip of this feature called "The Ring" where someone was making an area and putting creatures down on the ground mapping where they would patrol and what not. Is that a player feature? Is there player made content like that in the game?

Also, will the game actually have  Dev team this time around and some actual funding?

I only played the Ryzom trial for a couple days, I don't know much about the gameplay, but the engine was really good. The graphics were good, the world was interesting, and the performance was smooth. I wish a big company picked it up like Sony or EA picked it up. I don't trust these little companies that buy MMOs, just look at Horizons (now Istaria).
