Myst MMOG Details Announced

Ubi Soft and Cyan announced the title for their upcoming online game. Uru: Online Ages Beyond Myst , developed by Cyan Worlds, Inc., is slated for release late this year. From the press release, "Uru will take advantage of broadband to deliver a continually updated, immersive environment and storyline, with content that grows, changes and evolves constantly. It will also be the first persistent world to support real-time voice communication." Sounds like a different road than online games like The Sims Online and Star Wars Galaxies are taking, with the entertainment consisting in exploration and storyline rather than in player status and achievement.

I mean how many MMOGs do we really need to waste our silly little lives away?

besides, all that'll happen is endless patching b/c people cheat.

that's always the way it goes.

and then AFTER you get the pk-ers.
and to think thet you have to PAY for the priviledge.

flamebait because I express my opinion that MMOGs might not be the most healthy thing in the world?

so much for freedom, I guess I'll have to start playing EQ to conform to your view of a proper slashdotter ;)
