The Hidden Places of the D'ni

Guild of Archivists

Gone

I love this site. It is the nicest looking forum. The writing tools there are excellent. Because of the huge amount of information one must use search to find things. One can search the site using Google (add the tag SITE:http://www.dprw.net/ in the Google search window). One may also use the catagory tags used to file all archived information.

If you are looking for official Myst information (the official canon) this is the site. For those writing ages this is the primary story reference for D'ni era information as well as current day information.

The site is recognized by Cyan and my understanding is the authors of the D'niPedia are working with Cyan to maintain an accurate storyline.

Both the Guild of Writers and the Guild of Maintainers are heavily involved in writing and testing UCC ages. Some ages are currently available for solo players using Ages Beyond Myst/Path of The Shell or Complete Chronicles. The GoW has a good page on how to install the Uru Library manager and another for setting up Blender (high end free 3D modeler and animator) to edit and build ages. Use their directions as they are updated more often. For those running Vista I have my install experience in the PDF: (soon)

As of now, 2015, ages are being added to private servers running the Uru world. See:

Ace and Tweek were forming this guild 2008-9. Find the the announcement on MOUL HERE. Currently the guild sppears to have disappeared.

This forum is a tight community and the mods are way more relaxed. Language can get R rated. Discussions of hacking are permitted. Distribution of files is prohibited as that has legal liabilities they wish to avoid.

A server failure caused the lost of much of the research history that resided here. The knowledge was well disseminated so it was not lost. The masters of the URU science hang there and have created a wiki of Uru Hacking Knowledge.

This is a forum for those designing Uru Servers and Blender Plugins and other age design tools. Paraphrasing what they say about their site:

Alcugs [A Live Compatible Uru Game Server], is an open source project. The software will be an alternative software to the closed source Plasma Servers. The project started to bring back the possibility to play Uru with your friends because Uru Live was discontinued early 2004. In 2005 Untìl Uru was released.

Alcugs project main goals are: An open source alternative for the Plasma servers. An API, to be able to talk to the Alcugs & Plasma servers, and perform some administrative tasks. Improbe the security of the protocol and the server. But this is really hard due to the closed source clients Create a framework for shard owners that will allow to add new content on the fly to the servers

UBI no longer has information on hacking Uru that I can find (5/2015)

UBI Forum - Ages Beyond Myst

At this time the community is anticipating Cyan's release of age building tools. GameTap is looking a producing (and probably selling) age building tools. So, hacking is a pretty iffy thing, when we may have full access without the effort needed to hack the game.

2015: Didn't happen. Cyan has released a version of the game engine, Plasma, to the public domain.
