The Myst Online Uru Live has gone to open source now and after a long wait is active. My computer will be downloading for hours, so I can’t tell you how the place is yet. I just hope it can stay active. Thanks Cyan Worlds for not killing this and instead changing your software to open source.

This will be fun to play when I finally understand the use of that wrist interface and start on an adventure. 😕 I’m taking a break from it now while the learning frustration lessens. I’m mostly understanding the interface now. 🙂

I hope anybody else that tries this will at least let us know you tried it.

I love Myst. But this game looks windows only.
