While not WoW related, I have to publish this as it relates to a game I love even more than WoW, Ryzom. I was first introduced to the game at E3 in the spring and fell in love wiht this french designed game. The world is amazing and the tools they gave to thier players were completely innovative. If it wasn't for covering WoW for this site, I would have jumped to it full time in a heartbeat.
Despite being an excellent game with a rich backstory, it has had to compete against the juggernaut that is WoW and has run into serious issues.
A collective of online gaming fans is making a bid to buy an online world and hand it over to the players.
The Free Ryzom Campaign is hoping to purchase the online fantasy game Ryzom from current owners Nevrax who will go into receivership in December.
You can read all about it at the bbc here: Gamers aspire to take over world. I wish everyone involved the best of luck! I really hope to see Ryzom stick around!
