Well, I do know it'll be more than just another chatroom with avatars, heh.

Not being a spokesperson or anything, as far as I can tell, the emphasis will continue to be on exploration and puzzle solving, as in all of the previous games, with the added twist of the game universe being constantly built upon, and you can explore and solve puzzles cooperatively in real time. I would guess that there will be puzzles that will need more than one person present to solve.

For me right now, I'm just enjoying the immersion, as with all the previous games. Turn off the lights, pop on the headphones and get the crap scared out of you when a family member taps you on the shoulder to tell you they're going to bed, don't stay up too long, lol.

The LIVE version is in open beta right now, so things are still a little buggy and laggy at times, but they are slowly opening up new areas and developing backstory. I must admit too, that interacting with other players when I want to has been more fun than I thought it would be.

I LOVE the Myst experience, but my schedule these days doesn't allow me to commit to something real time with specific windows to meet and chat. I'd definitely lurk in an unfiction neighborhood if it were set up, but if you need someone to be there a lot, it's not me.

OK, Unfiction 'Hood set up on the Katran server.

I'll hang out for a little while in case somebody drops by.

If anyone's in, list your KI number here, so we can all add each other to our buddy lists without having to be in the same place.

Again, the Unfiction Hood is on the Katran server. There's not many of us on yet, but it's early. Very Happy

My KI number is 00058382.

On my copy the CD key is on a sticker on the back of the Player's guide. It would have been nice if they'd done something to draw attention to it, like printing the words "CD Key:" in front of it or something... Rolling Eyes
