Ryzom Goes Open Source
The Saga of Ryzom, more commonly known as “Ryzom” has made MMO history by becoming the first commercial MMORPG to become completely open source. The Ryzom source code consists of ”over 2 million lines of code, over 20,000 textures and thousands of 3D objects.”
While anyone can now use anything they wish from the source code it has been mentioned on the Ryzom Forums that the game will still be carrying on as it is with its pay-to-play subscription.
For you as a Ryzom player, nothing changes. The game continues to be pay-to-play to help pay for the cost of development and running of Ryzom.
One can only wonder how, if at all, this will help the game as the inevitable free copy-cats start to show.
