We wish Ron the best of luck with his new venture and thank him for all he’s done for the community.

During a trip to france Rand Miller took the time out to answer some questions.
After the long wait Mystworlds France has hosted the questions as individual movies the first 4 are up and it looks as if more are to come

• Is Myst V still in development and when is it scheduled for release?
• Is it true that Steven Spielberg and James Cameron wanted to make a motion picture out of Myst?”
• What about the fourth book on Myst?
• Will there be actors integrated in the 3D environment like RealMyst or is it going to be avatars like in Uru?
• Will Myst V be the final chapter of the Myst universe or will it only bring an end to the Atrus family storyline?
• Why do you think Myst inspires such loyalty amongst its fans?
• There are rumours that Cyan is working on an action game, as well as another MMO. Can you confirm any of this?
• Do you believe in the existence of multiple parallel universes and expect that we may, in the future, be able to use time travel?
• Is there any chance that Cyan will release a Uru/Myst V map editor, so that fans can create their own storylines based in the universe?
• Rumour has it that Cyan is developing a new interface capable of reading a player’s handwriting. Can you give us any information about this feature?

Domahreh of the D’ni Linguistic Fellowship has created a series of D’ni language lessons;

In 1998, Josef and Simon Riedl broke new ground in D’ni studies with their Guild of Linguists website, an innovative and unprecedented resource for those with an interest in D’ni culture. Most significantly, the site offered a series of lessons that instructed readers on the fundaments of the D’ni language.

Since ’98, our understanding of the language has grown and changed significantly, and the GoL lessons no longer reflect what we currently know. A new set of lessons, a new textbook for the student of D’ni, has been needed for a long time. After a year’s worth of research, composition, and review, and with the blessing of the Riedl brothers, such a textbook has now been completed.

The D’ni Linguistic Fellowship is proud to offer… Rehchoortahn D’nee.

This is a work still very much in progress; it will hopefully expand in the coming months and years to continue to reflect the most current thinking about D’ni. While Rehchoortahn D’nee cannot truly claim to be authoritative, it endeavors to offer the best information we have in as clear a way as possible. Any and all suggestions are welcome, either on the DLF forums or by email to Domahreh.

A special thanks to Jerle, J’ohn, K’laamas, Yohshee, Deius, BrettM, Gadren, Dougy, and all the members of the DLF — without your help, support, and inspiration, this project would never have come to bear fruit!
