It smells the end for GF France. What will they do with the game, will/did they migrate the property of the code, who knows….



That would seem logical that they leave an empty shell of the French dimension in order to hope to draw something from the debacle of this adventure…



That smells the end.....





Well, i usually dont give any attention to this kind of sentences, I would have said anything and I would have just said “still one which confabulates”…



Except that ....the communication of the 3° anniversary is forgotten, no COM since almost 2 months… and clearly 2 months without Com. on developpement…



I think that that requires an urgent answer (kind with Friday what…) if not, I think that questions will have to be raised…

    I can understand your worries and I tell you now, there will be an announcement next week related to your concerns.



    @Kaetemi - I'm not sure what you expect by spreading such info except maybe feeding any useless paranoia, so please stop talking about things without knowing the whole picture. There's no answer to your question atm.

    Now, we can only wait .

    I'll be let down if they do cancel the game. Will never have made my first 250 and won't get the chance :|

    Hope it's not going to be that drastic tho and instead they will say they are marketing in a new way or maybe it's just an anniversary gift to get a free period lol

    Could well be the case, as lonng as nothing definite is annonced I won´t worry myself to death, like som other Mulders out there.

     Ah, and btw. I´m three years in and haven´t got ANY 250. *shrug*

    Never missed it.

    Looks like the curtain is coming down on Atys.

    A real shame really as the world/game was very unique.

    GameForge France declared bankruptcy today and is being liquidated according to the posts on forums.ryzom.com

     

    I don't think Ryzom has ever operated in the black. Nevrax was under financial protection for years.

  • GilgameeshGilgameesh Member UncommonPosts: 412

    Yep, sad news, but many were expecting.... seems i cannot ding my 3 years.

    It's incredible how a very good game can be destroyed in this way.

    GameForge could have saved themselves a bit of bad PR if they had been honest about this.

    Instead they let the players find out for themselves.

    Not a wise decision as bad PR seems to remembered a lot longer than the good stuff.

    The feedback forum only allows game officials to make threads - its normal.



    As for the current situation, if we were able to tell you (ie had the information to give you) more than you've already been told - we would be telling you.



    I'm afraid right now all I can say is the following:



    1) We expect Marjo to make an official announcement tomorrow (That's not a "promise" - just an intention). You won't get anything "official" before then and rumour-milling doesn't help anyone.

    2) We don't know what's wrong with the servers that is making them "lag".

    3) If Aniro or any of the other servers are "closed" then its because they crashed or because a CSR on that server closed it due to the lag. We currently have no intention of doing the same to Arispotle.



    I'm really sorry I can't give you better news but unfortunately that's the way it is.



    Thanks to everyone for staying relatively calm,

    Hello, as much as I'd have preferred to speak about some upcoming projects, I bring you today news about the financial state of the game you're all so passionate about.



    Ryzom is going to pass through a few uncertain days/weeks, a second time. Our efforts to move Ryzom forward didn't get the expected repercussions and today as I speak, while the game continues to run and to be supported, the company behind its development - Gameforge France SARL, located in Paris - is lacking the funds to keep going. For those who've known the Nevrax times and went through the transitory period in last December, the same legal procedure of "liquidation judiciaire" has been put in place yesterday. This means that while the appointed liquidator will do what it takes to close the company, potential buyers may show up to take over the game Ryzom. If nobody shows up, the servers will be shut down in less than 3 weeks at liquidator's request.



    Meanwhile, what is going to change for you? Ryzom is still running and your characters remain. However the game development has been frozen and the billing system and Free Trials are undergoing the following changes:
    • Paying subscribers will not be billed and will be able to continue playing for free.
    • It's not possible to pay to subscribe to a full Ryzom account anymore.
    • You will still be able to create a Free Trial account, but at the moment there will be no possibility to upgrade your account and go to mainland.
    • The level cap on Silan is removed for the Free Trials in the meantime.

    This is an ugly day ... I'm very sad.

     

    "there will be no possibility to upgrade your account and go to mainland" ... bad news for the newbies that have started playing recently :(
