Open Shard¶

If you want to test Ryzom Core, we installed a shard where you can connect and see a basic version of Ryzom Core.

How to connect on the Open Shard¶

You can download the Windows Ryzom Core Client (650MB). Just extract (3.5GB) it and run the executable inside the directory.

Note: you can't connect to the Open Shard with a recent client.

It'll automatically connect to the Open Shard.

If this is the first time you connect, just enter the login and password you want and if the login doesn't exists, the server will add it with the specified password. You need to login 3 (three) times (click 3 times on login button and ignoring the error message) to automatically create necessary access.

When you are inside the shard, you can access Silan, the starting island. It's not Ryzom Game, it's just very small subset of Ryzom Game that is used to test and run Ryzom Core.

This Open Shard is not made to play. The shard can be rebooted at anytime, character saves can be wiped at anytime.

How to connect on the Dev Shard¶

Download the following client:

You will have to edit client.cfg and replace:

StartupHost = "localhost:40916";

with

StartupHost = "game.devshard.ryzom.eu:40916";

If this is the first time you connect, just enter the login and password you want and if the login doesn't exists, the server will add it with the specified password. You need to login 3 (three) times (click 3 times on login button and ignoring the error message) to automatically create necessary access.

We are using that shard for development purpose.
If the shard is down or doesn't answer properly, ask Molator on the official irc chat #ryzom in irc.freenode.net.

This Open Shard is not made to play. The shard can be rebooted at anytime, character saves can be wiped at anytime.

Administrate the Open Shard¶

We installed the shard administration website for this server so anybody can see how it works.
Of course, you cannot restart the shard.

Just connect on: http://open.ryzom.com
