Nuru
From MYSTlore
This page is written from an OOC point of view. Events and elements surrounding the Myst Universe are regarded as fictional.
Starting in late spring 2006, fans were able to sign up for an invite-only beta test of Myst Online: Uru Live. Testing began on July 31st[1] and has been dubbed Nuru[2], not to be confused with the fan term N'uru, which instead refers to Myst Online: Uru Live as a whole. Due to the NDA, few details are known, although the FAQ section gives some information — including, surprisingly, the release notes for several of the released updates:
- July 31st
- August 10th
- August 24th
- September 7th
- September 21st
- October 24th, which is labelled as the 8th; presumably there were two updates in between with unpublicized release notes
- November 6th
- November 17th, which is labelled as build "Live 1" (instead of "10"). Of note, starting with this build, the Uru Live website no longer features a publicly accessible download link. The release notes state that "we have [..] integrated the game into the GameTap universe", and that "Servers have been upgraded.", which along with the build's version indicate a major milestone.
There have been occasional comments that the test is going well or even exceeding expectations[Citation needed].
On November 8, Ryan Warzecha announced[3] that "a major amount of invites" would be sent on the 9th.
On November 28, Nuru was superseded by Uru Live Preview.
