Ryzom Ring final beta

Build your own worlds.

Saga of Ryzom's free expansion Ryzom Ring has entered its final beta, developer Nevrax announced this week.

"In preparation for the Ryzom Ring release and Ryzom's second anniversary, we are allowing all Ryzom subscribers to participate in the final beta," said CTO and executive producer Daniel Miller.

"They will be able to get their first taste of true freedom, creating their own scenarios and playing God in a persistent online world."

As Miller's comments suggest, Ryzom Ring features a set of tools for editing your own maps using point-and-click. The maps are hosted by the developer so you can share them with thousands of other players, or make them available only to certain players or guilds.

You can find out more about what's going on at the game's official website.
