Wowza. The once dead MMO Ryzom is back from the grave, and is now apparently taking on new sign-ups. This game has had more ups-and-downs in its history than any other MMORPG before or since. The companies behind the game have been bought, sold, gone out of business, and gone into bankruptcy so many times that no one seems to know the full tale. Suffice to say, someone's now bought the rights to Ryzom, turned the servers back on, and fired the game up again.
If you check the forums, some folks are very excited about this. Ryzom wasn't - sorry, I mean isn't - your typical MMO. It's very odd. It's very quirky. It's very French. However, if you think you'd like to give it a go, now's the time. The game is free to download and play, and may provide you with the exact je ne sais qois that you've been looking for in an online RPG.
If you'd like to download the game and give it a try, click here. If you'd like a tongue-in-cheek (but nonetheless pretty insightful) history of the game, give this a clicky.
One odd mystery remains: who turned the servers back on? The new owners of Ryzom are unknown.
