[exNews] General Thread

[eadwig1]

According to the latest news from Xavier in this thread
the liquidation has been suspended. The dispute over who really
owns the assest is going to take a long time to settle(min 3-6 mos).
It can then be appealed(min 1yr).

Xavier e-mailed Klaas Kersting (GF's CEO) to try to work something out.
So far no reply.

Well, Ryzom.org will deffo survive longer then crapforge...opensource ryzom is the only option i see right now OR someone wins to lotery tomorrow and well we just put a server online and spend his money xD

we know gameforge suck only option i see them buying the game is for the coding but ryzom.org is a great plan but i dont see ryzom up in 1 or 2 years time under the ryzom.org

And replying to maccer16... well, it is indeed a very different philosophy, with pros and cons, obviously. A new company taking over ryzom is really a good option, but open sourcing is a really the best alternative imho.

The only option which is not... acceptable, is keeping everything in the dark.

open sourcing ryzom would keep it up for how long tho

Although that might sound a bit dramatic, I'd tend to say that making Ryzom open-source will allow it to live forever.

Or, to be more precise, it will make it live as long as passionate players / developers have the will to keep it alive. Even if development itself might slow down at times, Ryzom shall live as long as it keeps its vibrant community, and I think the past few months have clearly shown that this is still the case.

[maccer16]

its good too hear it would stay up aslong as the community is here

I haven't had much to say about this topic...call it denial. I know that for once in my miserable life I had a place to come home to, and be loved, and that I had it on Atys, with all of you. The despair I'm feeling is indescribable. I just want to come home and be with my family. I love you all.

*big, giant bite*

*hugs Xyrana*

Missing you and the blue guy.
