Removal of Rocket Chat applications for computer and smartphone
If you use Rocket Chat applications for computer or smartphone, you've probably noticed a rather worrying message announcing that the application would cease to function in X days. This will be true from June 1, 2025.[p][/p] Got scared? We did too. :D
[h3]And here's the result of our analysis:[/h3]
We chose Rocket Chat years ago, first and foremost because it was a free tool and therefore it matched our values. But it's becoming less and less true...
Indeed, with imposed updates that constantly break the bridge between Ryzom (IG) and Ryzom Chat (RC), features that become chargeable at the whim of the software publisher, and the loss of applications for computer or smartphone, it's becoming difficult to continue to maintain and invest time in Rocket Chat.
Especially without any guarantee of being able to continue doing so in the coming months...
The previous Rocket Chat update was therefore the final one.
[h3]So we went looking for an alternative solution.[/h3]
And it's the free software Zulip that's going to save us. :)
Indeed, after a little development to adapt it to our bridge, it will offer the same features as Rocket Chat, including connection with InGame Chats and translation via DeepL, and even a little more.
And it also has applications for PC and smartphone.
Naturally, it'll take a little getting used to, but we're confident you'll love Zulip. :)
And so, from June 1 and pending the migration to Zulip scheduled for this summer, you can continue to use only the web version of Ryzom Chat at https://chat.ryzom.com
A future announcement will inform you of the migration date.

Okay, fine. But when will it change? We want the rest![/h3]
Ah, good question! Rocket Chat's modification didn't leave us much time to choose, deploy and modify software for our uses. So from June 1, 2025, you'll only be able to use the web version of Ryzom Chat. And in a few weeks, we'll be migrating to Zulip. Dev Ulukyn is currently working on this as a priority.
[h3]Wait, but... But I've got lots of messages, chats exchanged with friends, with my guild, and we've even exchanged files! Are we going to be able to keep all that?[/h3]
Ah... Well, we're sorry to have to tell you now that... Yes! You'll be able to find all your messages and files in Zulip! Phew! Connecting to Zulip is even easier than with RC, as it now uses the same login page as everything else, the one with the character selection.
We wish you a great game on Atys!
