One of Ryzom's oldest problems has always been how easy the game was to miss when you looked for a new MMO to play. I myself only found it at the last in MMO.com way back in the day it didn't have much info on Ryzom but i was intriged to find out more about the game, it was however the 4th or 5th game down the list of those i'd found that i wanted to try and took me over 3 months to finally get round to giving it a go.
With the population issues that have been present since Nevarx bailed Ryzom could really do with an influx of players and i've an idea on how to get a lot of visibility for Ryzom.
Steam is run by VALUE a reputable Software company that in this case provides gamers with a platform to review, preview, purchase and play a huge varity of games from FPS, RTS to MMO's. The software supports various Operating Systems and offers a huge number of gamers a chance to see what is out their to play.
If GameForge took the time to investigate Steam and see the potential for some proper marketing and gaining high visibility for Ryzom they could bring in some much needed funds and even more importantly build the server populations up and bring more life into Ryzom.

"Social Entertainment Platform
Steam is our direct pipeline to customers. It began as a little sleeper project—a handy tool to update Counter-Strike—and morphed pretty quickly into the world's largest online gaming platform. Steam guarantees instant access to more than 1,800 game titles and connects its 35 million active users to each other—and to us. Through Steam, fans can easily buy, play, share, modify, and build communities around Valve products as well as titles from other independent game studios. Steam is available in 237 countries and 21 different languages."
Just look at the numbers and what they do this is a no brainer.
Thanks for your time
