Uru Resurrects Fan-Operated Multiplayer Shards

Posted by simoniker on Saturday August 7, 2004 @12:07AM from the back-from-beyond dept.

ToriaUru writes "Over at Cyanworlds.com, there's now a newly launched Until Uru page, providing fans with all the information they need to download a new client and/or create their own server for the canceled online part of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. Thanks to all the hard working people at Cyan who made this happen!" We previously reported on Uru Live's cancellation, and the Until Uru FAQ, along with a 'giant gnarly disclaimer', explains the downloadable add-ons are "enabling independently run [fan-maintained] servers that any client can connect to... this is not URU Live" - though there is a "nominal fee" of $5.95 for player authentication for those who want to try the service.

Let it die. by Anonymous Coward · 2004-08-07 02:47 · Score: -1, Flamebait

MMOGers have a really hard time letting go. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that MMOGing sets up the same reward abuse pattern in the brain that addictive drugs do. Allowing these fans to flounder is allowing URU to die a slow, bitter death. It's dying and that can't be stopped. Just kill it now, and spare everyone the extended anguish.
