Uru Live!
Please tell me you're kidding! Have you ever heard of Myst? It's only the first successful computer game ever, and the second best selling computer game of the twentieth century! Uru Live is like Myst Online, kinda. It's my life.
Here ya go:

Siehst du mich
Erkennst du mich
Ganz tief in meinem Herz
ist noch ein Platz f?r dich
Ich suche dich
Ich sehne mich
nach dem was ich geliebt hab
doch ich find es nicht
It's Myst! Myst was boring!
Now explain why it will be good.

The game will be fun because it is myst. the story [unlike other games, actually exists and] is amazing, the graphics are stunning (not half life 2 stunning, but stunning), and being the fanboy I am of course it will be fun.
a new level monthly, smaller areas practically weekly, a huge community/fanbase, puzzles, graphics...plus i know how to hack it. what's not to like?

I'm sorry but the Myst series isn't exactly the most exciting...
The story and graphics don't make a game fun.
Oh, so I guess cause you a fanboy it'll alter everyone else's minds to make it more fun.
Edited for spelling
Alright!
I don't hate Myst. I just think it's boring. Go back and quote me where I said I hated it.
You say it like those games suck.
I will say Zib is passionate about the game

I loved the URU series, and really enjoyed the Myst/Riven/Exile/Myst IV/Myst V games! The older ones were ahead of their time. The new ones are going 3D which is the best way to explore.
No doubt that everyone has their own favorite style of games. URU Live is my style!
Thanks, Cyan!

Uru is a different kind of MMO, appealing to a different kind of player/community. Period.

I'm sorry but thats just one silly comment. Graphics are just a superfical but story is make makes a game fun without some form of story, whether is scripted like in most games now adays or user created like The Sims, the game is not engaging in anway.
Without the story the first Half-Life game would not be worth playing as the game would just decend into a plain FPS, the same can be said for F.E.A.R with it constant repeating of the same enviroments. But with the add stories these games are raised to a higher level.
This extends to all genres, games from platforms such as Psychonauts to even Sonic become simple childrens games without the story. Whats Final Fantasy without the story, 2 days gameplay for nothing.
And the game play style and interface have hugh barings on a game even more than a story take the last two adventure games from Lucasarts. Monkey Island 4 and Grim Fandango both ahd great storys but the changes in game style (removing mouse control) made it become tedious to navigate and control.
Most online games become stagnant because the game enviroments and story dont change. New content in in most MMOs just get latched on. Take World of Warcraft and its upcoming expansion for instance. With Warcraft there is layers upon layers of carefully craft lore with has been used to create and number of great games but place within the World of Warcraft enviroment it becomes alittle stale as the world does not change to reflect the changes on the story and the places actions. But this is just due to the way the gameplay has been designed by Blizzard. Even the developers have notice problems with their world not being dynamic, as with the coming patch which adds The Scurge Invasion, they had trouble working out how to deal with the invasion that the players can prevent but still leaving the new undead instance floating above the ground.
Now this is not a dig at MMOs as I play WoW all the time and love it. Other than the grinding for items and cash, which is a thing I hate doing in any game as I have better things to do with my time. But WoW brings all this lore into the mix which is do dense with story and leaves me wanting more.
Now with Uru we have a story that has been descriped in five diffrent Myst games all hint and giving bits of imformation about a culture called D'ni. Uru allows players to explore this culture in great detail. The story starts by play investigate then evolves into player involved story lines, even to the point where players actions can effect an outcome. Even the enviroments change to reflect these outcomes and story changes.
It is new, diffrent and "outside the box" (I hate that term) of current MMO design styles.
Now I've been writing this while playing WoW between C'thun attempts so please excuss any spelling misstakes, grammer boo boos and general nonsense.
Personally I did not look forward to uru, but after getting in on the ill fated late beta test I can only say I was blown away. Uru is developed by a company which is driven by the desire to break new ground, and try new things, they invested all there assets into uru, and more; it is this devotion and vision that is making uru so unique. One of the major facts about Uru is YOU are YOU, you make the decisions, you help shape the story, the developers will continue to open the universe to an ever increasing size around the thoughts and actions of what is happening in the virtual worlds.
An example is the fact that in game protests actually opened areas of the game in the prologue that were closed. Indeed in the prologue factions were developing where players were siding passionately with the Yeesha character, or the DRC organisation. There is talk that there will be the opportunity of players to join guilds in the game, if this is true or not, if this is good or not is unknown. Don't get me wrong there won't be any shoot outs (kind of kills the You are you theme) but the future and content is developed by all of us who play it, how we play, what we decide, and how we react, so at the end of the day, you get out of it what you put in.
All I would ask is don't condemn it before you can experience it, you may be surprised.

Understanding is a three edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth.
Fans young and old will flock to this game. I do wish that for the 14 day free trial of GameTap, you do try Uru once. You will be hooked. I promise. I swear to that, in fact. If you're not, well, that's rather sad, I'd say. Many have naysayed because they've not experienced it. Few who have experienced have walked away saying "I hate this game!"
I don't like FPS's and won't play them. Dreamfall is great, and those other "head" games. C'est la vie. We're all different.
Long live Uru Live!
URU lives! Mystralia date set for July 29/30 http://www.mystralia.com for details.

Expect most of the chat to consist of "How do I get this valuve to move?" Or "I turned the yellow light green, and this opened, but I can't get further. What do I do?"
Most of the chat in any MMO is either drivel, or.... no, I take that back. ALL of the chat in an MMO is drivel. Any useful discussion, such as raid co-ordination, takes place over Teamspeak or Ventrillo because most people can't type 80 words per minute and if you try to run a serious game through the chat channel, your group will die.
It's Myst! Myst was boring!
Myst certainly was not for everyone. Yet it appealed to more people worldwide than any computer game previously. Its sales record was beaten only recently by The Sims.
Some people find "whodunnit" books boring. Some people are die-hard sci-fi fans but can't stand fantasy, or vice versa. We all have different tastes. As the saying goes: "You're unique... just like everybody else." Did I have a point here? Nah, not really, though I find it odd that if you find Myst so boring that you feel so compelled to add your opinion to the discussion here.
I'm sorry but thats just one silly comment. Graphics are just a
superfical but story is make makes a game fun without some form of
story, whether is scripted like in most games now adays or user created
like The Sims, the game is not engaging in anway.
Actually, going to rain on the Myst fanboy parade here and point out that BobCrazyton is correct. Not only is he correct, but he's correct in two distinct ways.
First off, story and graphics don't guarantee a game will be fun if the game is unable to overcome other "issues." The interface to the game could be bad, so that it is virtually unplayable. (Too many games have fallen into this category for me to name just one.) Or the story, despite richness and detail, could be told from the perspective of a protagonist that most people just cannot identify with. (Example: Traffic Department 2192.)
Second, you can have a great game without either. Pac-Man had no story, and the graphics were never much to write home about, but it remains a classic. And there plenty of modern "classics" with great gameplay where the emphasis is on quick thinking, such as Bejeweled.
It really depends upon the genre you're looking for. Myst and Uru, even the MMO version, fall squarely into the "Adenture" game category, an area that has been shrinking in the onslaught of PvP strategy and first-person games. There are a lot of people these days who want heavy action in their games... something to get their blood moving and really absorb their attention. It isn't "mindless" action either... dungeon raiding at a high level takes some serious co-ordination. It has a different appeal than the adventure games, where the fun is in puzzling out mysteries.
While I've enjoyed playing World of Warcraft, I'm looking forward to Uru's more relaxed pace. I know there won't be pressure that I *have* to be on at 6pm to be with my guild to go storm Teledahn. If events happen while I'm gone, people won't get angry with me for missing them. I can catch up when I return. And when I say "catch up", I won't be scrambling to get levels or equipment so I'm on par with my group; I'll be talking and learning what they've learned, and sharing in the discovery of it all.
And best of all: No Barrens Chat.
