I greatly enjoyed the HD+3D version of "Avatar" and think it's the perfect film for "Saga of Ryzom" fans. There is now an "Avatar" fan site at
http://www.naviblue.com with many great features. I recently made the following post there. Let's hope the people running "Saga of Ryzom" are inspired to help create a "Ryzom film" -- Atys would translate very well to the movie screen.
Thanks,

Avatar MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game)

I have read that James Cameron is planning an Avatar MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game), in which players would assume the role of one or more human or Navi characters and interact in a computer simulation of Pandora.
While waiting for this MMO I suggest trying out the MMO "Saga of Ryzom", which in many ways provides a virtual online world comparable to Pandora. The Flora, Fauna, and four player-character races in "Saga of Ryzom" all remind me of "Avatar".
See
http://www.ryzom.com for details. Free trial accounts are available. Servers in English, French, and German are available.
I play on the English language "Arispotle" server. Ryzom is well known for the friendliness of its players and for being a challenging, adult-level MMO with combat, crafting, resource gathering, and magic all simulated in a detailed and enjoyable way -- as compared with the oversimplified nature of many other MMOs on the market.
Sample Ryzom trailer:

Still -- I can't wait for the "Avatar" MMO !!!
