Nevrax
Officially Announces Saga of Ryzom Expansion
(Press
Release - PC)
PARIS,
FRANCE – June 6, 2005 – Nevrax, developer of The Saga of Ryzom,
the ground breaking massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG),
announced a new expansion to The Saga of Ryzom entitled The Ryzom Ring,
first presented at the recent E3 Expo in Los Angeles, California.
The
Ryzom Ring is a set of tools for editing and sharing player-made
“maps” that are customizable with terrain, monsters and NPCs all run
by individual players. Maps can be integrated directly into The Saga of
Ryzom world of Atys, where thousands of other players can experience one
person’s handiwork, or kept as a private sanctuary only accessible to
a select few. Maps can be made exclusive to player guilds or select
friends while running their own invasions or events.
“Our
hope for The Ryzom Ring is that it will bring back the power to the
players,” said David Cohen Corval, CEO of Nevrax and creator of The
Saga of Ryzom. “The Ryzom Ring will
empower
individuals to create their own adventures and lands and to share them.
The only true limitations will be their own imaginations“.
Player
maps will be hosted on Nevrax’s servers and developed with tools that
have a point-and-click interface. Nevrax plans the first phase of the
tools to be easy enough to use that even the most inexperienced MMG
player can create content with ease.
“One
of our goals is not only to make the players be truly a part of the
world of Atys by giving them the tools to create their
Advertisement
own
areas, but also to make it easy and fun to do so,” continued Cohen
Corval. “We believe that the player-empowering nature of The Ryzom
Ring is ground-breaking and we hope it will change the way MMGs are
played forever.”
The
Ryzom Ring is currently scheduled to ship in Winter 2005/2006.
