In an amazing bit of news yesterday, Cyan Worlds decided to fully open-source Myst Online: URU Live. When Massively say fully, they mean it - art, client code, server code, development engine, everything. It was a bold move for Cyan to take; essentially trusting in the fans and other MMO addicts to take their code and continue growing Myst Online: URU Live.
This morning they thought they'd ask - now that this first step has been taken, what other games would you like to see go open source? Which ones would you like to work on, purely as a fan contribution? What would you build into those worlds if you were given the chance?
There is a huge number of MMO games on the market these days, with almost a new MMO enters the competition every week. Some of them are great and original while others are horrible and boring. MMO-Play has looked at all the MMO's out there and decided to list the top 5 original ones that every gamer should at least try.
While most mmos are your standard cookie-cutter fare, there are alternatives worth looking at. MMO-Play presents the top 5 outside the box mmos.
Shorah, Myst faithful! It's time once again to make your plans to attend this year's Mysterium, the gathering for devoted D'ni scholars and fans of Cyan Worlds' Myst -- including, of course, Myst Online: URU Live. This year's event will be held August 5th through the 8th in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with tickets currently going for the low price of $20.
