- Uru is a game unlike any other and there are a few thinks you'll want to know before you get started.
- In Myst Online: Uru Live you set out to restore the lost civilization of D'ni.
- But unlike every other Myst game, you're not alone in this endeavor.
- Uru Live is a game you play online with other players.
- Ready to get started?
- The first thing you do when you begin the game is customize an avatar.
- You can't spell Uru without You-are-You after all.
- Start with gender: male or female
- and work your way through all the details.
- There are dozens of options for your hair, face, body, arms, legs and clothing to get everything just the way you want.
- There are even custom designs to stamp on your T-Shirt.
- After you finished your avatar you get a quick run-down of the game controls,
- if you need to see this again at any time as you play
- move your mouse to the bottom right corner of the screen and click on the wrench.
- You begin the game in Relto.
- Relto is an Age you have all to yourself, think of it as a secret tree-house fort if you like.
- There are few things you can do while you're in Relto:
- The pillars in your front yard contain linking books to different ages, or will as you progress through the game...
- The pillar there now has a linking book to the cleft,
- but there are some other things to do before you go.
- Inside your house, the bookshelf keeps each linking book you found for easy access to other ages.
- And if you want to redo your avatar go to the wardrobe.
- You can change any part of your appearance you want.
- As you progress through the game you'll find relto pages that allow you to customize the appearance of your Age.
- You can then invite other players in to show of your stuff, but more on that later.
- There is an important tool you'll need to get early on.
- It wouldn't hurt to go snag it before you enter the cleft.
- So check the book on your bookshelf: open it and use the link to go to your neighborhood.
- The Neighborhood is a public area where you'll see other players avatars.
- There are also private neighborhoods you can set up for your friends.
- A sign near the entrance tells you to head to the classroom, so do that.
- In the classroom have a look around for a few more instructions.
- The KI is that important tool you need and there's map on the wall showing you where to go get it.
- Go to where the map leads you and use the linking book to go to Gahreesen.
- Got your KI? Great.
- Think of it as your personal organizer while you play Uru.
- Click on the KI icon in the lower left corner of the screen to bring up the interface.
- The top right button on your KI opens a menu.
- This will let you talk to your fellow travelers, keep track of your buddies and other social aspects of the game.
- You are not alone on your quest, so don't be afraid to make a few friends on your way.
- If you want to talk, just start typing: anyone nearby will get the message you send.
- If you want to talk to a single person in particular: just select their name from the list beneath your KI
- or pick from your buddy list and then type your message.
- The list beneath your KI only shows the names of players in the same age you are in.
- But you can talk to your buddies no matter where they are.
- The top center button of the KI will snap a picture of what you see on the screen. You can add a caption if you like.
- Keep this feature in mind, because it's not only good for posterity. You can use it to record clues you find too.
- The right middle button lets you mute the sound.
- The bottom center button lets you move the KI icon around.
- And the bottom right button closes your KI.
- Got all that?
- Elsewhere in Gahreesen is a link to Nexus.
- The Nexus is kind of like a library of linking books,
- an archive that can take you to many different places.
- Right now it's your key back to the neighborhood.
- Click on the machine in the Nexus to activate it.
- That will open a menu allowing you to chose which area you'd like to visit.
- If you're just getting started there's not much here.
- But the Nexus is an important tool for D'ni explorers, so don't forget about it.
- Nexus not working for you?
- The contraption won't activate unless you're carrying a KI...
- See? I told you it was important!
- But there's no linking book out of the Nexus.
- So if the Nexus itself isn't working, how do you get out?
- It's simple: your avatar carries a Relto linking book.
- Click on the book icon in the lower left corner to open your relto book and link back to your home age.
- From there, you can return to your Neighborhood or go anywhere else via your pillars or bookshelf.
- This Relto linking book is one you can share with other players to invite them over to your home age.
- The icon on the left page is the share-book icon:
- click it, then another player and your avatar will show them the linking book.
- They may then use the book to travel to your Relto.
- You also use this icon on other books to enter other ages with other players,
- except for a few public areas you go in alone unless you invite someone to go with you.
- Anyway, back to your Relto book.
- Your Relto book is also a lifeline:
- If you ever get stuck or in a dangerous situation you automatically link back to your Relto.
- Don't be afraid to explore everywhere you wont get hurt.
- Ok, we've had a beautiful day in our neighborhood, unlocked our KI
- and avoided getting completely stuck in the Nexus, now what?
- Head back to Relto and check the pillar in front of your house.
- This is the linking book to the cleft, where the story begins.
- And here it is.
- At a glance the cleft is just a fenced off area of desert in New Mexico.
- But it's quite important to the Myst story-line.
- I'm Zandi, I probably know more about why you're here than you do.
- The guy in front of the trailer is Zandi.
- And he tells you there is a message for you inside the cleft itself, so head on inside.
- Myst series aficionado will recognize the cleft as an important place.
- But it's just an abandoned hole now.
- If you can figure out how to get the hologram projector to work,
- you can get that message Zandi told you about.
- And then your adventure really begins!
- But wait, there's more:
- In coming weeks and months expansions to Uru Live will be added.
- Everything from new ages and puzzles to new designs and options for your avatar.
- Furthermore, the progression of the Story is up to the players:
- what happens in Uru is heavily influenced by what you and all the other players do.
- This isn't your average MMO where your deeds do absolutely nothing to change the world.
- You and your fellow players can have a drastic effect on the outcome of the story.
- And finally: you can keep up to date on all the news on Uru Live via the Uru Live website at mystonline.com
- If you're stuck or just want to shoot the breeze
- you can hit the Myst Online message boards and meet other like-minded Uru fans.
- Ready to go? All right!
- We hope you enjoy Uru Live.
- There's lots to see and do in the ages around D'ni.
- Good luck!
