Not yet, but pretty much so...

I still keep all ancient postings to alt.games.myst about URU and its expansions marked as unread (57), since these are the only ones of the Myst series I haven't played yet... ;)

Although this group doesn't have much activity, there still is a lot
going on in the Myst fandom. Check out sites like mystcommunity.com,
mystonline.com, and uruobsession.com. The latest news is that Cyan is
releasing Myst Online: Uru Live open source to the fans.

Cheers,
Andrew

Yeah, I know. I think they should go back into making Myst games
instead... The entire mudpie/urur/myst online has been a sore train
wreck.. :(

It's too bad, though - since the idea isn't bad, it's just executed
poorly.

I wrote something about what I thought they should do. Ryan Miller
even read it and thought it sounded good but it wasn't the direction
they wanted to go:

I really enjoyed the "Myst in the present day" storyline and I greatly
enjoy cooperative gameplay. That's the direction I'd like to see.
Maybe not massively multiplayer, but two or three together would be
great.

Hi Graham, that's nice!

So for you, for anybody else the following will make a quite interesting read:

(I skipped the part on Uru, that's the only one I have left to enjoy for the first time, hehe ;)

CU soon around here,
