...This Sucks Ass...
Uru Live canceled

Earlier today, GameSpot received confirmation from publisher Ubisoft that Uru Live, the online component of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst for the PC, has been canceled. The online portion of the game would have allowed players to explore the game's various areas, known as "ages," together, as well as to build virtual neighborhoods. The publisher explained that this decision was made not as the result of any technical difficulties, but rather that there were not enough projected subscribers to support the online service.

This is really upseting. The guys over at Uru did allot of work for the server side Live Myst idea. All of it for nothing. It was an awsome idea, whoes time has unfortunately yet to come. The world was beautiful, wonderful, imersive. And it was increadable to be able to work through the puzzles of the world with someone, especially with the voice chat feature. It was like being in the world. It was wonderful. I hate to see that all of this has gone down the tubes. I hope, I really hope, that they try this idea again, when there will be enough people interested in the world.
