Gaming News - October 2004
London and Paris (October 27, 2004) - Nevrax and Jolt Online Gaming
today announced that The Saga of Ryzom is now available for download.
From Nevrax:
The new digital download system will now allow players from ALL territories
the ability to purchase the game online. The move will further boost already
escalating subscriptions to the recently launched MMOG, which is also set to
benefit from the newly introduced “Bring a Friend” scheme.
Since its highly successful launch in September, The Saga of Ryzom has garnered
positive media attention, being called a stand out MMOG that “you'll want to see
every inch of” (Gamespy, October 2004). The Saga of Ryzom offers players an
engaging storyline, affected by their own actions; a unique new combat and skill
system; and a vast, beautiful, dynamic game world to explore.
“This is just the beginning for Ryzom,” said David Cohen Corval, CEO of Nevrax.
“We have many prosperous years ahead and we recommend players start early to
ensure they make their mark on Atys and the future worlds to come. We’ve always
believed a digital download system to be the perfect medium for obtaining the
game, and we’re glad to now be able to offer it to everyone.”
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.
