That’s good to hear. I had just discovered Ryzom shortly before it went under…I thought it had a lot going for it, mechanics-wise, thought I didn’t have a chance to get deep enough into it to see how the community was…

I see that it’s currently only open to “VIP Players”, which I apparently am not. I’ll check back in a bit to see how things are going…
