Ryzom: The Ryzom Ring - AGC Preview @ GamersInfo.net

GamersInfo.net sends word that they've updated their coverage of The Ryzom Ring with a preview of the Saga of Ryzom expansion pack as seen at the Austin Game Conference.

Milko started out showing us just what The Ring could do. What can I say but once again we were floored by the power of the tools that Nevrax is placing in the hands of their customers. Milko started off by mentioning that due to server loads bandwidth they would not be allowing players to create their own maps, instead they would have initially have around 200 optimized maps for players to choose from and that they would add more over time. These maps have a huge range in size, shape and environments. He showed us several maps ranging from desert and marine environments to some gorgeous woodland settings. At this I had to ask the size and support that these maps were capable of he mentioned that every map would be able to support up to 100 Objects and 100 NPCs and some were so large that it would take a player nearly 1 hour to navigate across them.
