What is Ryzom?

Ryzom is an open-world science fantasy MMORPG set in a world threatened by Kitin invasions. You fight creatures, gather materials, craft equipment, and train combat, magic, harvesting, and crafting skills on one character. Large invasions call for group battles, while PvP is optional.

+you prefer optional PvP to mandatory player combat

Not for you if...
