Title: Myst mmo making a comeback
Post by: wandering on May 18, 2006, 09:54:58 PM
I doubt that many of you care... but since it failed last time because of lack of interest, I thought I might try to, you know, drum up some interest.
Why be excited about a Myst mmo? I think tycho from Penny Arcade summed it up best...
Quote They're saying that there really wasn't the subscriber interest to support it, and while I find that sort of depressing it wouldn't surprise me in the least. The whole thing was really high concept, placed high demands on their technology, and had somewhat ethereal elements to it. I've heard Uru Live's functionality referred to as a sort of "chat room," which is a claim so ridiculous that I hardly know how to characterize it. My vocabulary is an arsenal, and I can't produce a comparable understatement.
When I said ethereal elements, this is what I meant - that's the homepage of the "D'ni Restoration Council," the bureaucracy in the game that is preparing the ages (puzzle worlds) for travellers (i.e., players). Look at the front page, I mean, there's a character saying that Uru Live is canceled in story appropriate language.
