The planet is expanding
When you visit the Prime Roots, you can see the remains of what used to be towns on the surface.
The roots have grown outwards, and covered them up, creating a new outer layer of the planet.
Matter can not be created from nothing. If the planet is expanding, the core must be dissolving.
If the core is disappearing, "basic science" says the planet will eventually collapse in on itself.
I plan on joining Jena on Judgement Day and moving on to a new world of plenty. You can stay and perish with the Kami, if you'd like.
One mitigating factor here might be density/specific gravity, as it relates to gravity gradients. If Ryzom is very low in heavy elements, just traces as required for biological functioning, and the major structures of the rootball are some hyper advanced organic nanotech structure ( which would be needed to hold the gaint branches in the canopy up ), then the pressures at the core would be significantly less than those of a 'conventional' planet, with a rock/metal core.
Possibly a liquid water core, with a lattice of super-roots through it, and possibly a much smaller overall planetary diameter too
We dont really know how well homins scale against humans, unless Karavan are in fact Human,... its all very interesting
