Myst Online: Uru Live

Post by Thaewyn » Sat Feb 13, 2010 11:35 am

Well, I'm an absolute nut for this game, always have been. But for those of you who don't know, it's had a troubled history.

It was first in development by Cyan Worlds around 2003 as an alternative MMO-style game, but after 2 years in various stages of beta, it was shut down (for undisclosed reasons, as I understand it). Cyan then released the game as a single-player standalone game, so people could at least explore what had been built for the MMO, but without other players.

In 2006, GameTap announced that they would be hosting a fully-realized online version of Uru as part of their regular sub.scription service. This was brought down around April 2008.

Since then, Cyan has been taking steps to open source Uru and release it to the public. As of this week, they've re-opened their servers for a Free-To-Play version of the game as it appeared at the end of it's lifespan on GameTap.


Now that the history lesson is over, tl;dr version: This is a free-to-play MMO that I really really enjoy. Any other Villuns already play, or are you interested?
