From EncyclopAtys
Ryzom is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). Ryzom is a "sandbox" type game; that is, you can do whatever you want in it as long as it does not exceed the limits of the technical restrictions, those of the Lore or of the behavior rules.
Unlike most other MMORPGs, there is no story to follow, there are no prescribed actions, there is no imposed order to perform them. Your character can improve all his skills (combat, magic, crafting and piercing) and go wherever you want in "a world without barriers". When you launch Ryzom, you open a window to adventure. When you play Ryzom, you play in freedom. When you train at Ryzom, it is to improve the skills that you will never lose. No final victory makes you "finish the game". Ryzom has no end.
