The DRC have released Eder Delin, one of the D’ni rest Ages. Linking Books to this Age can be currently found in all Hoods.

There were some issues this morning with old unstable Linking Books to Delin along with some Tsogahl books being put in hoods by mistake which delayed the launch of the Age.

January 18, 2007

Explorers are reporting that Victor Laxman has activated the Ahyoheek Tables in the hoods.

Cate announced that Eder Delin will be released tomorrow. The DRC has asked that you NOT join another ‘hood just to gain access to a Delin book. Please use the Nexus to visit a ‘hood with a book if you want to visit Eder Delin.

The ex-DRC Liaisons have launched their new Cavern news network “D’ni Network” (D’Net)

Cate was spotted in the Uru Obsession Hood asking what the explorers would like to see from the DRC site.

Uru Live for Mac

***GAMETAP MEDIA ALERT***

GAMETAP TO LAUNCH NEW WORLD FOR “MYST ONLINE: URU LIVE” AND TO RELEASE TITLE FOR MACINTOSH

In preparation of the highly anticipated early 2007 release of “Myst Online: Uru Live”, two major developments are being announced. Currently in beta release, a new area of the city and an all-new, never-before-seen Age are being released tomorrow, January 19.

GameTap is also proud to announce that a Macintosh compatible version of Myst Online is in active development by TransGaming Inc., which will bring the world of Uru to Macintosh users for the first time.

New Faces and New Places

The “Myst Online: Uru Live” preview storyline continues to build with last week’s introduction of Cate Alexander. Cate’s appearance has had a significant effect on the D’ni Restoration Council (DRC) and the cavern restoration effort as a whole, as evidenced by the recent opening of several city areas. That pattern continues with the opening of more city areas, including the Great Zero, and the restoration of an all-new Age, which explorers can visit for the first time ever.

“Myst Online: Uru Live” is designed to continually expand in order to provide new game experiences and areas of exploration for its players. The launch of the first all-new world, while still in beta release, illustrates the game’s commitment to the ongoing rollout of new content.

Uru to Premiere on Mac

GameTap and Cyan Worlds, developer of “Myst Online: Uru Live”, are pleased to be able to bring the story of Uru to the Mac platform for the first time, powered by TransGaming’s Cider portability engine.

“The original Myst game premiered on the Mac,” said Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan Worlds and creator of Myst Online. “The Mac community has always been huge supporters of the Myst franchise and we’re thrilled that we will soon be able to invite them to the newest Myst experience.”

TransGaming Inc. is a leading developer of software portability products for the electronic entertainment industry. “The release of Myst Online for Mac represents the beginning of exciting new possibilities for Mac gamers,” stated Vikas Gupta, CEO and President of TransGaming, Inc. “We look forward to bringing many more great games to the Mac in coming months.”

D’ni Network Launches

Shorah! We are pleased to announce the launch of the D’ni Network, or, as we like to call it, the D’net!

The D’ni Network is a group of cooperative (but not always like-minded!) individuals who have banded together to fulfill the need for the groups in D’ni to have a single, coordinated way to get their word out to the Explorers, through the use of facilitated interviews, discussions and events. Think of us as your one-stop shopping for Cat-herding, Pony (Bahro??) Express and PR!

We serve all groups, regardless of affiliation or viewpoint. We are unaffiliated and unbeholden to any group, agency or person, and will not advocate on behalf of any group or person.

Our interaction with groups and Explorers will be primarily “In Cavern”, and our focus is groups with a primarily In Cavern presence. We do not handle “Out Of Cavern” events, unless specifically requested to do so by Cyan Worlds, Inc.

Some of our offered services include:

Town Halls:
~Public gatherings wherein a group or person presents information on a specific topic, which is followed by a scheduled, topical Question and Answer session.

Announcements:
~Similar, but without a scheduled Q&A period.

Round Table Discussions:
~Open forum discussions on any topic relevant to D’ni and the Explorers.

Pen & Ink Interviews:
~Written questions delivered to a particular personality, and presentation of their answers.

Information Dissemination:
~ Announcements posted in the imager in the D’ni Network ‘hood
~ KI mailings
~ In Cavern ‘town crier’ service
~ Distribution on various websites

Every group, at some point, needs to spread information to the Explorers. Take some of the burden off your group, and let us handle some of the work!

Groups that have already signed on for our services include:
The D’ni Restoration Council
The Great Tree
D’ni Jazz Club

Please visit the D’net at www.dninetwork.net to learn more about who we are and what we do. As we grow, we’ll be looking to expand our services, and our team.

Come join the Network today!
