PARIS, FRANCE – August 22nd, 2005 – Nevrax, the developer and publisher of the online role-playing game The Saga of Ryzom, announced today that, in celebration of Ryzom’s first anniversary in September, current players will be awarded a free month of game play.

According to the publisher, any player with an active, paying account as of 11:59 p.m. on Monday, August 29th, will have a free month added to that account on August 30, 2005. Those accounts will have their monthly billing date pushed back 30 days.

"Ryzom’s success is based purely on our loyal player base,” noted David Cohen Corval, Nevrax’s founder and CEO. “When we started talking about anniversary rewards, we wanted to do something big to reward those loyal players, something no other game has ever done.”

"We were just going to add the free month without a time delay,” Corval continued, “but we wanted to give players a chance to notify their guild mates or friends who might be taking a break or on holiday.”
