The paid dev of Ryzom? huh, i doubt very much that he is inactive... or we wouldn't be on steam probably.
From Ryzom Forge meetings it seems he's working on ARK atm though, improving it before opening it to the players. And ARK is somehow needed for Pocket Worlds, so i guess it's a good thing he's working on ARK. But it's not programmed in some hours if you are alone :)
Oh, I probably had it confused on who was doing what back then. I thought it was one of the volunteers doing most of the work on Pocket Worlds. Well, glad to know it's the paid dev then! Gives me hope it'll become a reality now.
