Gaming News - October 2004
Paris, France (October 22, 2004) - Nevrax, developer of the
groundbreaking massively multiplayer online role-playing game, The Saga of Ryzom,
announced today its new “Bring a Friend” program.
From Nevrax:
The “Bring a Friend” program allows each Ryzom player to invite a friend to
try Ryzom for free for 14 days. At the end of the trial, if the friend decides
to purchase the account, the player who referred him will receive a free month
of play!
“Our players have been clamoring for us to help them introduce their friends to
The Saga of Ryzom,” said David Cohen Corval, CEO of Nevrax. “With the Bring a
Friend program, we can help our community grow while rewarding our most loyal
players with free time within their favorite game.”
With an immersive player-driven storyline, a dynamic ecosystem, groundbreaking
mass combat mechanics, and lush graphics, The Saga of Ryzom is the answer to the
prayers of massively multiplayer gamers seeking a fresh, compelling experience
instead of cookie-cutter fantasy settings.
Called “a serious contender in the fantasy-MMOG market,” by GameSpy and “the
prescription against staid and tired MMORPGs” by Computer Gaming World, and
deemed 2004’s “Best MMO of E3” by WarCry Network, The Saga of Ryzom launched
smoothly into five markets (North America, France, Germany, Scandinavia, and the
UK) in September of this year.
About the Saga of Ryzom
Three generations ago, the proud civilizations of Atys perished in the Great
Swarming, when hordes of Kitins swept from the Prime Roots and wrought war and
genocide. Now it is time to reclaim your heritage. Join forces with thousands of
others, master the arts of sorcery, war, and tradecraft, and re-forge the
destiny of your people. The secrets of the past have been lost, but the Saga of
Ryzom has just begun.
In The Saga of Ryzom, you create your own personal character and choose your own
quests and adventures to shape your new destiny. Become a great hero with the
power to change the future of entire civilizations. The Saga of Ryzom features:
A Story Line That Matters: Enjoy a wholly original universe fusing science
fiction and fantasy where players shape the story and each server charts its own
course.
A Lush, Living Ecosystem: The world of Atys is alive, with a rich and diverse
ecology where flora and fauna dynamically interact with each other and the
ever-changing environment. Nothing is static in Ryzom.
Massive Territorial Invasions: Ryzom’s RAID Engine delivers excitement on a
large scale. Monsters will assault key outposts, dynamically invade territories,
and devastate entire regions if left unchecked.
Epic Battles with Hordes of Monsters: Fight hundreds of creatures at once in
pitched battles! Ryzom offers groundbreaking mass combat mechanics that allow
combat on a scale never before seen in MMORPGs.
Flexible Skill-Based Advancement: Develop your character through a skill-based
system that grows in detail as you gain experience. Ryzom offers five huge skill
trees with thousands of possible choices.
Customized Skills and Special Attacks: Ryzom’s unique Modular Action System lets
you create your own custom actions. From a core set of building blocks, make as
many spells and special attacks as your imagination will allow.
Rich Item Creation/Enchantment: Hunt and forage for scarce natural resources to
craft complex items from the bottom up, then add enchantments to your equipment
to make it vastly more powerful.
Guilds and Factions: Meet new friends and form your own Guild to compete against
other players (PvP) or build strong alliances to face common enemies in mass
combat.
