There is a flurry of excitement in the Uru community sparked by messages on the DRC website:

DRC postings
The D’ni Restoration Council has been silent for almost three years, so this is a spark that the Ending has, indeed, not been written. Explorers have been into the city and the forums are going wild with speculation:

DRC forum

Those who played the game will understand the IC (In Cavern, ie: In Character) discussions). We are anticipating a chance to go and visit the wondrous world again, even with the warning that there is nothing new to be seen (lack of funding, etc).
For those who have never experienced Uru Live, this is possibly your moment to see a game that takes you to a world that you find you never want to leave.

I had given up hope that Uru Live would return. Well, almost. This is WONDERFUL news.

I think the DRC could use a PR representative enforcing more openness. Do they always have to be so, err, cryptic?

Remember the good times we had? It'll all happen again now? Just being able to visit the cavern will be great!

Hello Becky and Kateva! That is great news! I just installed the game last night to play again. I have lost count how many times I have done so and never tire of it. Looking forward to dusting off my Avatar in Uru Live. Have a nice day Becky, Kateva and Boomers. :winter:

Nice to hear, since I was a newbie to the world when it was canceled- I look forward to a new experience. Thanks for the info

Seriously, I am following all threads everywhere and have fingers and toes tightly crossed.

Gameboomers hood is the best, ra ra ra!!

Kate, thanks for posting!

I just love the vastness of the exploration in this 3D, multi-player world.

If it opens up, we will post links for how to download the game and get connected.

Cheers,

Dadguy

It is really really here!!!!

Myst Online Play

There is a note on that page that the servers are completely overwhelmed. Lots of enthusiasm! So if you can't wait for the download now try again later.

So..off to think about a GameBoomers Hood!

Kate

Yep- servers are overwhelmed- I've been trying to log into the account page and it says OOPS.... well sort of
edit..
I was able to log in and download installer--- update loading now- estimated time 7 hours....lol guess I will go fix dinner.
edit-- it crashed--- maybe tomorrow

Best news I've had ... in a while

YAY!!!
/Tapfoot to get those servers back up!
See you in the cavern : )

I was just in and there are a lot of explorers in there now. The black UPDATING screen takes about 10 minutes because of the load, so be patient.

It was glorious being with the good folks of URU.

Dadguy

Any ideas as to times when the servers are less overwhelmed?

EDIT: Well, I thought I could sneak in before 6:00 AM, but the servers are still very busy.

I will get there sooner or later, though!

Just having the icon on my desktop is wonderful!

Never used this before. How does it work? Do you have to buy the game or do you download it?

For this version, you download it. The game is currently free, so you don't have to buy anything. Though the servers are so overloaded at the moment that it's hard to download. They may have underestimated how many ardent fans would try to get back in all at once.

Hi Becky! Can't wait to visit the old neighborhood again! My download is almost complete. Great news!
