The first episode of The Saga of Ryzom takes place on the living planet Atys, to the far reaches of the universe, where four civilizations are trying to heal the wounds of a tragedy of apocalyptic.

There are three generations of this, the great civilizations of Atys perished during the Great Swarm under the onslaught of kitins hordes, sweeping through the underground tunnels, marking the beginning of the war, and then genocide. A great knowledge was lost during the leak but now the time has come for you to reclaim your inheritance !

The game earned the Best Story award at MMORPG.COM's 2005 Reader's Choice Awards. Allowing players complete control over everything they do is something not many Online games can quote. Players are not trapped in the "one class only" situation that most MMO's nowadays place them in. Ryzom gives the player the option to learn every single skill in the game, or concentrate on whichever they prefer, for as long as you want; or indeed to what depth you prefer.

Recently Which Gate , the current owners, made a Feedback feedback site. The feedback site is proving incredibly useful, giving players the power to choose what they like and dislike and what should get higher priority in being implemented. Winch Gate is showing that with a little time and focus, much can be achieved. Indeed since the departure of Game Forge France, the game has gone from strength to strength, utilising the feedback from players, and the consistant help from the CS Departments.
