Saga of Ryzom (SoR) is a MMORPG set in a semi-fantasy/technical "living" world.

You play as one of 4 races: Fyros - the desert peopole, Matis - the forest dwellers, Zorai - blue peopole of the jungle and Tryker - the small ones from the lakelands.
Two other NPC races are also present: The Karvan - technology centered space traveler and the Kami - the mysterious magical beeings. Both the Karavan and the Kamis claim to be the true guardians of the planet, both come to the aid of homins as long as they obey their rules, both are secretive about their origins and perhaps even their true intentions. For centuries now, they have followed different paths, observing one another without confrontation.

The game is class less and skill based. It contains an inovative actions system where player can compose their own spells and fighting actions by combining predefined "stanzas". NPC's and mobs move around and interact with each other, for eaxmple carnivoures will attack and feed on herbivours. Different types of PvP combat coexist in Ryzom, and - since not everyone likes PvP - you can choose whether or not to get involved. If you are looking to engage in player combat, the game offers various possibilities: Duels, GvG (Guild vs. Guild), FvF (Fraction vs. Fraction) and full PvP. Ryzom also offers a extensive foraging and crafting system, high quality and enchanted items are only provided by player crafters.
Ryzom is also known for its friendly community and responsive CSR team. It is developed on the GPL'ed NeL engine made by Nevrax.

It also contains the R2 (Ryzom Ring) client, a scenario editor that allows players to create their own scenario instances and have other players participate in them.

The game has been sold to the german game company GameForge. GameForge sold the game to SpiderWeb (FR). Winch Gate Property Limited bought the game from SpiderWeb.

The game now has a native linux client.

Ultima Online (UO) is a graphical massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), released on September 25, 1997 by Origin Systems. It was instrumental to the development of the genre, and is still running today. The game is played online, in a fantasy setting similar to that of the other Ultima games that preceded it.

Ultima Online is a persistent universe set in the mythical land of Sosaria after the time of the Avatar's defeat of Mondain. Ultima Online: Renaissance is set after Minax's defeat of Lord British. The worlds that are Sosaria have been split by the powers that are Trammel and Felucca, the moons of Sosaria. Trammel, the land of good, honor, and order, links to Felucca, the land of evil, dishonesty, and chaos via a network of moongates and moonstones. Plots evolve by design of the forces of Order and Chaos (apparently), and provide a great number of experiences for the player. Translation: think MUD with a sprite interface!
