Didn't this game used to be F2P? What happened?

I am sure I remember Ryzom being F2P because thats when I opened an account, when did it switch back to p2p?

    From August 17, 2008 to May 4, 2009 the game was F2P because it was changing ownership.

    When someone decided that it's a better business model to actually MAKE money.  I mean c'mon, there's no stupid Item Shop or Station Cash here, and it's hard to keep a business operating without cash.

    Since change of ownership, there have been patches to fix some of the bugs that irritated players to no end.  Plus there is new content and events.

    Yeah it was F2p for a time while the new company was setting up billing systems.

    Imo Ryzom is a fantastic game and it would have been a waste to keep it F2p.

    It's much higher quality that any game on the f2p market that was originally planned as a f2p game.
