The Saga of Ryzom

Just read about free to play and have never tired it. I know its a few years old but are there many people still around? or is it a ghost town?  

Whats it like graphics wise comapred to newer mmo's?

thanks

The population is slowly growing, since it has just recently been re-opened.

And here's some neat things called "screenshots" that some genius invented awhile back so you can see the graphics of any particular game.

nub island is rammed with people at the moment

mainland is twice as busy as I've seen it in 4 years

Look at my site to find some Video material of all lands.

Some better than others of course, I recommend looking at "Restless Child" by SunSwing Productions.

One of the best Videos ever done of Ryzom.

Ah, and avoid the crappy Youtube Versions please, they do justice to no game at all.

Ya know, graphics for me has always been #3 or #4 on my list of what I enjoy the most.

But I have to say that even though Ryzom's graphics are a bit old, they are still great. With the combination of beautiful scenery, huge landscapes and some weird but cool looking creatures makes it a very enjoyable experience for me, almost refreshing.

Other games I've played similar in size, in reference to the zones,have never made me want explore like I do in Ryzom.

Not only is exploring fun but it's dangerous!

There truly is NO handholding in Ryzom except the newbie island, and I enjoy that fact the most.

I've pvp'ed, raided some crazy powerful non-instanced bosses and met some of the coolest effin people I haven't had the honor to meet since my TFC days.

With proper patching and added content, Ryzom might be a great home for people who want freedom to do what they want in a quality gaming community.

Ive been playing this game on the weekends when I have time.  Ive noticed 2 things that I love about the game.

1:) People that will help you for as long as you require, in order to get your head around the very detailed skill system...

2:) More people within 200 meters of me on the newbie island than on all of AOC's ZUG server.
