Linux

[Cilar]

Are you planing to make a port of Ryzom to Linux ? It would be great. I saw that a part of the graphic engine is made under GNU licence (open source). That's why I ask this question. Also, the devs must like Linux because the UI looks like a Linux UI (multiple desktop) and the key short to chat are nearly the same as for the Linux command mode

The amount of money put into porting the game over to Linux platforms would not even justify the profit they would make from doing it. I doubt it.

whoa whoa...as the main voice of the linux client plea both in beta and retail...don't you guys worry...i play this game in linux as it is now..of course not natively like we all wish.

my army of bribed newbs sending in linux client support tickets will soon show their faces...once the developers settle down their bug fixes and content patches in a month or 2.

as far as the porting this game, it is already so close to a linux client i can taste it, and it tastes like BASH. 1) Game was made to run opengl, directx was sort of 'tacked' on later 2) engine is OPEN SOURCE/GNU! hello! 3) almost all the UI is done in-client, save for the launcher...while i know there is much more to a program than UI...the backend procedures are indeed all still there :0P.

Seriously, the sole reason i am here is because of a google search one day 6 months ago containing the words "MMORPG linux"...

A linux client is NOT out of reach for Saga of Ryzom, nor do i think it should be proclaimed to be...I will keep pushing for my 'linux client' pleas in game whether there is progress on the client or not. :0)

Actually I have read somewhere on this site that a port to linux IS planned. I don't know where I read it but if what I read is correct it certainly is coming. I don't see much of an advantage running in linux myself. The amount overhead for graphics is the same the only thing you would avoid is windows.

I remember reading that somewhere, and I can't wait to play Ryzom on my Linux box. I'll be sending in a support ticket or two in the next couple months.
