| Quote: | On January 30, 2008, an announcement from GameForge stated the possibility of the servers being shut down in the first week of February.
On second week of February 2008 all remaining game servers were shut down.
As of early March 2008, the generally accepted, but unconfirmed by the company concerned, speculation was that SpiderWeb International Limited were in ownership of all assets.
On May 5 2008, the Ryzom forums were taken offline. |
A friend sent me some pics I thought I would share with you

A travesty indeed 
It strangely brings to mind the story of the Commodore Amiga, where investors paid large sums of cash to get their hands on the technology, hoping to cash in on the cult following, only to let it stagnate without any further development.
Ryzom, destined to become a cult classic, doomed to obscurity now there's no servers to allow the fans to actually play. I hope some dev somewhere had the foresight to nick the server software so some enterprising fans could set up a private server  |
