I don't know what will be the impact on the game.

Generally i like the idea of "free software" and, the fact the FSF is under this decision too can't be a bad thing.

UO have thousands of private servers, and possibly most other MMOs have them, so what's the point? UO is still up and running for the joy of its community, so the other MMOs.
At the end, it's all about the friends and the quality of your gaming experience.

Also, the cost of actual Ryzom is very low, and they assure you some tech support most probably you will not see in private servers.

I don't think anyone here would change Arispotle to another server just to save 8 euros per month!

Last thing: I hope the free software community understand the importance of this release. There is nothing on sourceforge that can match Ryzom code in terms of quality, performance and professionality. Don't forget how many euros and years it costed to develop.

I suppose we'll get some population increase because of the people that wanna "study" the game before going to work on the code.
