Just a quick note for now, maybe flesh it out later…
It seems several things have been happing the last few days on the Uru scene:
– The DRC forum has slowly sprung back to life, in a way. It appears that Laxman is running some experiments again. Additional word appears to be (I need to confirm this) that the site has broken away from Ubisoft’s hosting and/or control, which may have prompted the experiments. It’s definately prompted a wipe of the forum user accounts.
– With the DRC site stirring also comes some old players returning to forums, as well as some of their home UU shards. They’re hoping for the best, and are catching up on events to see what’s in store. A big wave goes out to any of you whom have stopped here from one of my Uru forum sigs. Like everyone else, I can only wait and hope, but I’m glad to ‘see’ y’all again.
– By sheer coincidence (perhaps due to my finding out I took over the ‘Uru’ tag in technorati), I wandered about and found the weblog of Alahmnat, one of the most well-respected moderators on the Ubi forums. There’s a very illuminating post giving another good reason why Cyan closed the Myst series; When I have time I’ll say more, but the weblog should be on the sidebar as of now.
Wow, this is a lot to happen over the x-mas weekend. Tis definately busy. Perhaps what I’ve done to help this year has not gone to waste after all. I can still hope.
