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.

    The point to me here is that MS has the means to survive AND be ethical, and chooses not to.

    Microsoft seems interested enough in protecting their systems from encroachment by the hackers. Why would you encourage hacking? It seems somewhat akin to mindless vandalism if not a form of terrorism. My own view is that it is necessary to deal harshly with any perpetrators to an almost unconstitutional extreme. If a few are so punished in a very public way, it should give the rest a strong pause and send a clear message that this kind of thing is not going to be tolerated".

    Anyway, my divorce is not complete, so she gets a little worried about all that sometimes, and today it was affecting Goy. Goy is insecure because she used to be fat, and most Thais will still say that she is, but that's only because Thai women are sticks.

    Maybe Goy should feel insecure because her paedophile, stinking fat piece of shit boyfriend is writing about her sex life in his /. journal?

    Was she your first fuck at the age of 35 or something? What compels a man to write intimate details about his sex life, revealing things about someone he's supposed to care about?

    I hope the Thai authorities fucking kill you.

    She is always asking me what I would do if some beautiful woman comes and tells me she wants to sleep with me. Mostly I just tell her that they always do, but I just politely decline ( both true, I had to give up my university job for that reason... another time)

    Another time? Hey, here's a clue, WE DON'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOUR FILTHY SEXUAL EXPLOITS!

    She didn't like that position when we first met, because she's really insecure about her body

    She's insecure? Is she writing about her sex life on the internet? As if she can't believe it herself and has to tell the World that she is finally getting some? Or is it just you who's REALLY insecure?

    There is nothing that she has told me that she won't do (outside of a threesome, but I never asked)

    You don't deserve her.

    ...and wait for games like Doom 3 and Quake 4 to hit the shelves this year. No disrespect but prefer blood n guts to slow moving storyline. And seeing as how Myst did, I wouldn't hold my breath!!! Thank you for you time

    I'm picturing the virtual world that Ender Wiggins would explore in the Orson Scott Card book "Ender's Game". Would be pretty interesting...
