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.
For you if...
- +you enjoy open-world sandbox play without a fixed class
- +you like cooperative battles and guild-based roleplay
- +you prefer optional PvP to mandatory player combat
Not for you if...
- −you want fast progression with little gathering
- −you prefer simple systems over complex combat and crafting
- −you want to complete every early quest alone
