The servers behind The Saga of Ryzom will be shut down this week unless the MMO's current owner, GameForge, can raise enough cash via their ongoing liquidation process to continue paying the bills.
Though this almost certainly signals the end for the 4-year-old game, the initial announcement post by Ryzom community manager "boroshi" holds out hope that the game, even if it is closed, will eventually reopen in some capacity.
Not to shatter any dreams, but in my experience, if Ryzom goes dark it will take an act of god to get it up and running again.
