I saw on a gaming forum that Ryzom came out today.

I havent followed it that much, but i wuld like to try it out, however the local Game and Virgin have never heard of it, and say they wont be stocking it.

Amazon.co.uk doesnt have it, and i cant find a download for it on this site along with buying a CD key.

Whats the deal? Was i wrong about it being released today in the UK?

Sigh it's a long story I'm sure a GM or some nice member will explain, it was brought up several times in the old forums but the new site and forum were launched only hours ago lol. Youv'e missed all the BETAs so it's too late to try it atleast until a trail version ends up on fileplaner prob give that a month or 2. The basic situation is Theres mixed release dates france(where the game was made) release date was today, for the rest of europe it differs from 17th-24th uk being 24th as it only just got a uk distributor. Some of us have preordered from neighbouring countries such as france and germany, if you check the other forum topic here it explains it doesnt matter where you buy your version from, apart from say manual which can be dl anyway.

Apparently, the game is not available in the U.K yet... reason.? because Neverax have been dragging their heels in finding a U.K. publisher... (apparently, now its supposed to be Ubisoft), in the meantime, while our European friends enjoy the game and get a head start... we in the U.K lose out. It sucks big time. The French hate our guts. :mad:

we`ll just have to wait, pray, and wait a bit more i think.

Hey Nirvy, let us know if it turns up in the next 24-48 hours, somehow i don`t think so, they have`nt even answered my email yet.

Game are advertising it for 30 pounds on pre-order (release 24th),
does anyone know what Game` are like for pre-order stuff, i mean, would i get it on the 24th, with `Game`, anyone got any comments on this?

cheers,

Seether

They didnt have it in stock mate.

So this morning at work i ordered from that french site, alapage.com.

They just mailed me to say it has been despatched, due tommorow. Pretty good considering its another country
