There were also at least ten other ages in various stages of development as well as quite a few fan created ages that are still being worked on. Some of the puzzles were altered to make them only solvable in groups or with at least two people. There were regular meet-and-greets, poetry nights, dance parties and heek competitions (Similar to rock-paper-scissors but with up to 5 players.) There were D'ni language classes, tours of Bahro glyphs and paintings and discussion groups, especially about in game history and working translations of D'ni scripts and books.Ĭyan released several new ages during the course of their run on GameTap. The big draw, however, were user created events. These almost certainly will not happen in the foreseeable future. These included plot and storyline events, opening of new areas, multi-user puzzles to unlock new content and from time to time, new clothing for avatars. When the game was actually live, there were monthly events put on by Cyan staff. (At least most of the files are included in the download). (Ages beyond Myst is the original beta live game, altered for offline play and with a couple of ages that Cyan finished before canceling the beta.) Almost certainly there will be some added content from when the game was available under GameTap. To play Myst Online, open /Applications/MacPorts/Myst Online (Cider).app.Maybe I can shed some light on this, having played the original beta and also when it was live on GameTap. Other methods of running Myst Online on a Mac include the Wine version in the mystonline-wine port, and running the game in Windows via VMware, Parallels or Boot Camp.
