Also on Gamecloud is an interview (http://www.gamecloud.com/article.php?article_id=568) with Xavier Antoviaque of Nevrax, talking about the current status of the MMORPG, Saga of Ryzom.

Do people actually play this?

Gamecloud - When is the expansion set for release?

Xavier Antoviaque - We haven't set a release date yet, but we'll begin beta-testing the Ryzom Ring this winter.
So, this might not be coming for almost a year? I'm thinking they may have to come up with something else in the short-term to make sure the game even lasts that long.

I played it for the 14-day trial. It was before WoW came out. I enjoyed it, but it offered little to no more than other MMOs. Although, if they we're to lease out one-year accounts (like Anarchy Online), I'd certainly play it. Or maybe just did something as simple as drop the price to $5 a month. Free is good.

I tried playing the game during beta... I found it to be horrid, and since this was pretty late into the beta, I assume it didn't get much better before release.

It's another grind-heavy MMO, which is too bad. I really wanted to like it for other reasons. I loved the skill/spell system (being able to piece together spells like a little jigsaw puzzle was fun), and I loved the concept of big bug wars or being able to conquer territory from the NPCs, who would then try and take it back.
