They intended for other Companies to follow their example and give more "power to the players". They just didn´t count on almost noone being interested in this great idea in a game that essentially was almost dead by the time they had developed it.
It was a last ditch attempt at fame and a try with the padles on Ryzoms unconcious body. The fame they will get, as inventors of a great new way of gaming, if people will remember them at all, but the planed revitalisation of Ryzom didn´t work, sadly.

The article shows that at least its writer remembers Nevrax, I doubt though that many CoH/V Players and others for that matter ever will.
For them now CoH/V will always be "the first who had it".
And if they accept it, the way we didn´t, they will probably have the numbers to give it more of an impact on the general scene, then the idea will stay.
And somewhere in the dark recess of the Internet, the corner none of the "hip-crowd" will ever look a small band of Ryzomites (or Ryzombies if you like) will always know and whisper under their breath:
WE WHERE THERE WHEN IT WAS FIRST CONCIEVED!
WE WERE THOSE WHO BETA TESTED ITS FIRST INCARNATION!
WE WERE ITS FIRST PLAYERS!
It WAS ... OUR PRECIOUS!!!
And sadly were the first to squander its wealth loose it too.
