Ryzom

I'm french and I think like you that claiming Ryzom is french is of no use.
I hope they will remove it...

The difference is it's not usually plastered all over their products multiple times as a primary selling point.

To me this is yet another demonstration that the management are just complete idiots. If they think it's so wonderful and appealing to their fellow countrymen, great, leave it on .fr, but to most everyone else it's a turn off.

Not to mention it's a bit degrading and disrespectful to all of the volunteers from all over the world who also support Ryzom. Heck, there's probably as many, if not more of them than there are Frenchie devs these days...

After some thinking, I though "best french MMO" is only a trick for the Google spider.
As there is only 3 french MMO on the market (Ryzom, Dofus and Wakfu), they can use the word "best" near "MMO" without lying.
This sentence is the first one in the source code and with a headline tag < h2 >. So it has a good appeal for the robots.

Perhaps in 2 ou 3 months, seeking "best MMORPG" on Google will give Ryzom in first place (11th page now for "best MMORPG" and 38th page now for "best MMO")

Despite a few flashy new graphics, this doesn't look like much progress at all. Too many earth tones neutralize the sleek sci-fi feel we had before, and worst of all the whole thing sounds like a cheap sales pitch. I can't see myself ever referring anyone to the site in its current state.

Just a silly tidbit :

Ryzom, one of the best ROLE PLAYING Massively Multiplayer Online Game of the moment (MMORPG)

That should be RPMMOG...

But a RPMMOG isnt found by google when you search for MMORPG. Doh.
