That's a very interesting study.

Re: By the way of marketing
With regard to:
"According to the study, people from an incredibly diverse demographic set would answer this question in the affirmative. 55% of gamers polled were married, 48% have kids, and new gamers those who have started playing videogames in the past two years are 32 years old on average."
I'd say that, if looked at Ryzom alone, those numbers would be much higher.

Re: By the way of marketing
well Ryzom is a
- complex
- non quest based
- RPG
and only in the end MMO
So of course the population tends to accumulate from certain demographical regions.
However this comes to contradict on a less empirical basis than player articles the idea that Ryzom shares the same market with WoW.
It provides also a good matter of thought when we critic the failed GF advertising effort and consider a future advertising effort.

Re: By the way of marketing
The only real relationship between WoW and Ryzom that I can fit into my psyche is that Ryzom is something one might play after they have outgrown WoW.
From the basic "ground rules", graphic style, character choices, levels of freedom, etc., it just seems that the original architects of Ryzom were pointing at an older audience. When my younger two sons have their friends over, they all play WoW or have played WoW. My oldest son looks at it like he does Britney Spears and The Backstreet Boys" after he discovered "real music" .... something he'd rather you didn't bring up that he was involved in.
Looking at the ages of for example a team I was recently in (53, 58, 70, 56, 34, 27, 32, 44), it seems to be well above that studies numbers.
As for marketing the game, the player made videos such as the one about teh virtues of the Fyros people would be a great start.
