Actually i think about this a bit differently.
Ryzom is a niche game that cannot be exploited well to make money because there is no open item or toon market. -> No professional attacks on the game itself.
Professional attackers could also be someone looking for an anonymous internet server, but game servers in general are monitored far to closely to remain undetected for a profitable amount of time. They are also high load servers which makes them even worse if the attacker wants to host illegal content or carry out attacks or scams.
The only real threats are people from the inside. When huge love turns into worst hate. And people who want to 'show weaknesses' to developers interpreting 'hacker ethics' the worst way possible. Those haters or hackers do not have the means to monitor communication unless they are sitting right next to you. And if they do it's easy for them to circumvent encryption anyways.
I do have some security concerns too but those are about a totally different attack vector that cannot be fixed using encryption.
