MMO Ryzom Goes Free-to-Play on Wednesday

On Wednesday, March 9 between 09:00 and 11:00 GMT, the Ruzom servers will be brought down for application of patch 1.11.0. The patch will, among other things, make the game free to play.

Players that create a new account can play Ryzom without time or place limits. Instead, free trial accounts are now limited to a maximum level of 125 in all different skills, enabling everyone to sample all aspects of Ryzom and to discover what makes this MMO unique.

When you reach level 125 in a skill you can still continue playing, but you will gain no more experience points. The second limitation is storage: you cannot own any mektoub packers, use the inventory of your apartment or take any items from a guild hall. More info...
