EderGira_015 — Eder Gira - Myst Uru Replication

The Myst iPhone game has brought many new people into Myst-Uru fan community. Yay! One of the things many of them are asking for is news of what is going on in the community. What are people doing, what is Cyan doing, are there sequels coming for the iPhone, who is doing what and how do I help. The Guild of Messengers (GoMe) is the publisher of all information Myst-Uru related and they have just published this month’s issue. But, it appears Myst is developing a generation gap in fan communications.

Myst Series Explained for iPhone Users

Cyan-iPhone Web Site — New Myst iPhone Web Site

Earlier I wrote “Myst-Uru-SL and the iPhone” and wondered whether the Myst-Uru fans and Cyan would make a place for iPhone users on the Myst Online forum. They did and with some fan effort to create a boat load of in-bound links iPhone users are finding the forum and joining up, more than tripling enrollments. Fans are answering questions and finding work-arounds to minor problems in the Myst iPhone app/game. In the process some interesting questions have come up that show the value of mixing the new and old fans.

Devokan_015 — The New Myst Style Devokan

Second Life fans are discovering the Myst-Uru community within the grid. When Myst Online: Uru Live, a GameTap revived version of the game Uru Live, closed about 500 fans made it to SL. The more well known SL group is the D’ni Refugees. The Refugees are working in smaller groups to learn building and build new Myst-Uru style builds with puzzles and storylines. These have resulted in the opening of new regions. Now there is another region opening made by members of one of the ‘guilds’ from Uru.

Myst-Uru-SL and the iPhone

2009/05/07 by Nalates Urriah

Many in the Myst-Uru community are thrilled that Cyan Worlds, Inc. (original creators of the Myst series) has ported the original Myst to the iPhone (7 minute trailer there). The active fans are now supporters and buying the App for their iPod Touch or iPhone (As I write this Myst iPhone App is forth in the Apps Store Games Section). They are also supporters of the open source development of Myst Online or Uru. But will fans take advantage of the opportunity the iPhone is giving them?

MusicMelee.com — New Internet Radio Station

Uru-ite Creates Internet Music Site and Radio Station

Reported as a “New Fun Website to See!” in the Uru community D’ni Refugees Group Notices, Sun Apr 26, 2009. Music Melee Online is now up and running. It is the newest place for musicians, people who like to blog about music, and people who love to hear great new music!

Quoting Thorson Hammerer, “We currently have our internet radio station up and running, playing some great music of all types, but we need more! If you are an artist, we need YOUR music! Sign up and submit your stuff, and possibly make some money in the process! We are also looking for feature music bloggers! We’re looking for you! Come and join us!”

Thorson is a DJ, as well as others, at Hunters Club (Club Siren Group) in Mayan Myst that rocks Monday through Friday with Happy Hour from 5-7pm SL and 7-9pm SL. Prizes (L$ Contests) and surprises galore.

Myst-Uru Guilds IC and OOC Part-IV

2009/04/30 by Nalates Urriah

This part of the series is about ways people have tried to make changes to Uru and/or the guilds. I have seen people take two paths to making changes. Both of these efforts center on an aspect of training people in world. I’m not sure the goals of the two are comparable but how they have gone about it shows comparable methods.

A European teacher wants to use Uru in a RL classroom as a teaching aid. She builds ages* for the coming open source version of Uru, no small feat. So, she is knowledgeable and involved with the guilds and contributing toward the open source effort. But the basic game engine does not really support what she needs. Someone will have to introduce new features into the game engine.
