Myst Online Goes Fully Open Source


Massively reports that developer Cyan Worlds has turned their MMOG Myst Online: URU Live into an experiment by releasing all of the game’s assets to the public as open source. They hope that a development community will grow around the project. I’m sure someone will introduce porn into the game world and someone else will create a scam around it.

Amazingly, they aren't simply releasing it into the wild and leaving it alone; Cyan has decided to hold one Myst Online server shard open for players to have a centralized world, despite the fact that others can now freely put up their own Myst Online servers.
