Unlike normal planets, Atys is an enormous tree large enough to sustain an atmosphere and multiple ecosystems on its surface and within immense networks of branches and roots. The various creatures in Ryzom have differing AI based upon their species that allows them to perform many realistic behaviors, such as migration and movement as a herd. Carnivores, for example, will attack specific animals for food, and certain animals hunt in packs. The game also features changing seasons and weather. Weather effects include rain, snow, and wind. Tied to the season and weather changes are the movements of animals and the availability of harvestable materials. For example, a certain type of sap may only be harvested during spring rains and be unattainable during other seasons or weather conditions. Weather conditions can change minute by minute. Each game season (spring, summer, fall, and winter) lasts four real-time days. Player characters come from one of four distinct humanoid races, collectively called "homins". The 'Matis' are a proud and noble race of forest dwellers.

We have a different view, that we try to give great benefits and incentives for thousands of different organisations that contribute." API-driven Drupal and supporting JAMstack "In the WordPress model, you get a single beneficiary, which is Automattic. "That's part of the direction and we have a lot of users already using Drupal with a JAMstack," he said. "There are trends that push that strategy. There's the evolution of a simple CMS to what we call a visual experience platform. Organisations integrate Drupal with a bunch of different backend technologies, maybe a CRM, marketing automation tools. And Drupal users don't just deliver a page of content any more, they want to deliver experiences that are personalised. "Similarly on the front end we see an explosion of JavaScript frameworks and adoption, and that also requires an API-based approach. We made the decision six or seven years ago to evolve Drupal into an API platform. "The third trend is that it's no longer sufficient to deliver content in the browser.
