Ryzom

Ryzom is a science-fiction MMORPG set on the alien planet of Atys, where players explore a strange living world filled with distinctive creatures, factions and dangers. Instead of presenting a conventional fantasy setting with interchangeable elves and castles, it offers a more unusual mixture of science fiction, organic environments and persistent online role-playing. Characters can develop through combat, crafting, gathering and other skills, allowing players to shape their progression according to their preferred activities. The game places considerable emphasis on exploration and its distinctive world, giving it a personality that separates it from more conventional MMORPGs. Ryzom is particularly interesting for players who like online worlds that feel genuinely different rather than simply repainting the same fantasy template with another coat of pixels.
