For right now, the servers for delivering the Uru content/patches, as well as the Account Creation page - they're both not working at the moment. I think they got pretty slammed today, and will be able to address this tomorrow, according to their webpage.

I tried all day, and couldn't get in, and then the account signup went 404 on me, so.

It's just so funny - just a week or two ago, I was having such strong cravings to go visit the Cavern again. I really, really missed it. And here we are. It will be nice to dance with people in the plaza and fill up my Relto with calendar sparklies once again, and visit the true gorgeousness of Minkata.

My KI number is 00066440. SO EXCITED.

I'm stuck at the Uru Launcher "Checking fFor patcher update." Doesn't seem to be actually downloading anything. Maybe waiting in line fFor a download or something.

So. This time around, we will be operating a lot slower. Alright. At least we are operating at all, yes.

If you have Google Wave, there is a wave that is continually being updated by the community as to the status of the servers and sign-ups for new players.

https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:googlewave.com!w%252BXxmvLNZVA

I find it really useful to leave that wave open and see the changes over time. It's not a discussion Wave, but it has a link to one, where people can troubleshoot their connection issues on the fly. It's probably the best use of Wave I've seen thus far.

At any rate, I've picked up a few GZ markers towards calibrating my KI, finished most of Gahreesen, gotten a ton of Relto pages, finished up Teledahn last night, both Delin and Tsogal, and joined up with the Uru Obsession Bevin. Whew. And there's still so much more to do.

I know I'll need walkthroughs for the first part of Kadish Tolesa, that's for sure!

Ah, and it's so good to hear this music in context again. So soothing and amazing and ominous and joyful and sad. Yes.


ETA: Let me know if you would like a Google Wave invite. I have a bunch, so post here or PM me!

I finally have my KI # 00292608

Have you joined a specific Bevin yet? (I still call them 'hoods in my head)

I've spent most of Saturday messing with new monitor settings. I'm running on the same computer I had for GameTap, but with a new monitor and graphics cards, which is taking some getting used to. I can be available to help with any group tasks, but I am taking time to slowly savor my personal Ages.

I'm enjoying the ambiant sounds a lot right now.

Sweet, can't wait till it's open source.

My KI is: 00654639

I'm on Bevin DRC 160

Though I suppose I could maybe setup an Unfiction Bevin, if anyone's interested?

[spaceboy]

Well, I just started. I'm sad to say that I never got into this game until now, though I always meant to. I'm really having fun, especially when I actually find other people.

I'm all for a UF Bevin. I might just take the initiative and create it tonight, if it hasn't been done already. The Bevin I got got assigned to is fairly dead.

[krystyn]

I joined the Uru Obsession Bevin, as there's always tons of people around when a Delin or Tsogal run is needed. I love helping out with those (and it was super-easy to get my rewards for those Ages, as a result).

I will be more than happy to get you into that 'hood if any of you like - just let me know when you see me in the Cavern, and I'll get you set up. It would help, too, to visit the Uru Obsession forums, to get an idea what the peeps are like there.

I am savoring my personal Ages, too, catherwood - I just made the jump to the main building (with the Wall) in Gahreesen. I am waiting 'til tomorrow to finish up the Journey there - I have that cloth bookmarked, and I just need to make the BIIIIIIG jump. When Uru first got its servers up and running, that Age was tricky to jump in, because of the lag freezing. Now? Piece of cake. Everything's very smooth.

FWIW, the Myst Online forums are your default go-to for immediate technical issues or for official messages from Cyan employees - RAWA has posted recently about the expectations the community can have regarding new content, bug fixes, and source packages, so it's worth a look-see and a read.

It's also a good resource for Mac users, or for Uru players who wish to play with others who want to find others who speak other languages from English.

From what Rand Miller has reportedly said, interest in the rebirth of Uru was surprisingly large, and the corresponding donations have also been impressive, so it's nice to know that this project is getting some positive potential growth in this model. All I know is, this incarnation has so little lag compared to when it was on Gametap, even with surges of activity and chatter in the City. I believe they're using Amazon's cloud severs, so they're definitely taking advantage of distributed networking to lessen the load. It shows.

I love being back.

[Citizen Kane]

Alright, I created an unFiction Bevin. Anyone want an invite?
If not, I'll probably delete in about a week or so.

Especially considering all said above.

For all interested parties, my KI number is 01276171

Question: Is anyone else able to link to The Maintainer's Pub via the Nexus? I somehow can, and other people seemed a bit incredulous. What's up with that?

Edit: Figured it out. Apparently, if you go to Kirel and grab a t-shirt off one of the tables, it will open a link to that Guild's Pub in the Nexus.
