MO:UL’s Mulligan
This post has been migrated from my older blog A Bad Case of Nostalgia.
Myst Online: Uru Live has become an infamous example of a developer not willing to give up on a project even when all odds are against them. It showcases the love, devotion, and passion that launched the gaming industry in the first place. Cyan Worlds, Inc. has gone down in history for their award-winning, record-breaking, genre-defining first-person adventure game Myst and the sequels that followed it. But ever since the shutdown of the original Uru Live, they have been on the decline. The rocky economy and their refusal to stop trying to bring Uru Live to the masses has nearly buried them multiple times in the past.
But it would appear that Myst Online has been given a second mulligan, yet another chance to show what they can do, and they’re calling it… MO:ULagain. Yeah, a little hokey, but a nice play on words. Not only is the D’ni cavern being re-opened to the public, but Cyan has officially activated Paypal donations! To show your support for the passion and effort the amazing folks out in Spokane (or rather, Mead) are putting into this, head on over to the Myst Online: Uru Live website and work your way back down into the depths of the New Mexico desert. We’ll be waiting for you with open arms. And if you’ve got a couple extra bucks to spare, send a few out to Washington. Who knows, you might even get something in return!
