Myst Online: Uru Live Returns As Free-To-Play

Posted by Soulskill on from the uru-is-dead-long-live-uru dept.

agrif writes "Shorah b'shemtee! Uru Live has been released for free, as a first step towards opening its source. This game, an MMO released by the makers of Myst and Riven in 2003, has been canceled, zombified, resurrected, canceled again, and is now about to be released as open source to its dedicated fan base. Massively has written a brief newbie guide if you're unfamiliar with the game."

    Now all that remains is for everybody and their dog to create their own Dragon Rider Teen Vampire Pirate themed fork, run a yo-yo server (it's up, it's down...) on their home ADSL, and watch it die in a spread out whimper of indifference.
