These races developed into separate and fairly isolated societies, inside their own favoured ecosystem. Interacting benevolently with all four homin cultures, but hostile towards each other, were two far more advanced races: the Kami, the legendary magical spirits of the earth, and the Karavan, the techno warriors from outer space. The Kami are depicted as elusive, chaotic, playful, and highly protective of Atys, while the Karavan are more secretive and have never been shown outside their protective suits or far from their machinery. <p>In the game year 2481, the homin races were nearly exterminated when the hostile and horrific mutated insect-like Kitins were accidentally released from their home deep within Atys' roots. The surviving homin refugees began working together in 2485 to rebuild a single, mixed society in relatively remote areas. Soon after that came the additional threat of the 'Goo', a spreading infestation that renders areas uninhabitable and drives wildlife mad with rage. <p>Come and discover the hidden mysteries of this world. But be careful; your choices will impact not only you, but the world of Ryzom as well! <p>For PC in 3D playable online in English, French and German, Ryzom is a ROLE-PLAY game of science-fiction, fantasy and adventure, massively multiplayer, named RPG, MMORPG, MMO or virtual world. Ryzom won the MMORPG Awards of the Best RPG ROLE-PLAY story game and is a reference to all the role players in the MMORPG's virtual world! Ryzom is downloadable online free. | Ryzom 1.10 | new | Ryzom |
