in News & Features Discussion

Linux fans will be happy to hear that Winchgate Properties has released a native GNU/Linux game client for Ryzom. To celebrate the new client, devs are hosting an in-game contest with a ZaReason Terra-HD Netbook as the grand prize.

To participate, players will have to log into the game and find the seven relevant GNU/Linux artifacts hidden throughout Silan, the starting island. Each of the seven artifacts will test a player's knowledge of Ryzom. The winners will be drawn from the players with the correct answers. Contestants can participate freely in the contest using a free 21-day trial option.

    hell yes! this is awesome news. This game deserves a little bit more recognition. seeing as how there arent many choices for playing a game on mac without using bootcamp. The game will be refreshing for mac owners. and a must have imo.

    Linux =/= OSX

     

    Not to say it can't be done, but it wont be "native"

    Downloaded the Linux client and played for a few hours last night.  Performance is very smooth.  Congrats to the devs, nice job.
