DutchMYSTCommunity

From MYSTlore

The DutchMYSTCommunity (or DMC) is the largest group of Dutch Myst fans.

[edit] History

An old logo of the DutchMYSTCommunity.

Before the DutchMYSTCommunity, the hub of Dutch Myst fans was located at the game-related Neo FF forums, as a subforum. The now expired URL www.urulive.nl pointed to this location. At a gathering in February 2004 ^{(Leevosahn 9659)}, plans were made for a Dutch Myst community. This DutchMYSTCommunity was started on April 1, 2004 ^{(Leenovoo 14, 9659)}.

On April 1, 2007 ^{(Leenovoo 13, 9662)}, the DutchMYSTCommunity celebrated its third anniversary at a party.

The DutchMYSTCommunity organizes regular gatherings to which all members, as well as non-members and foreign Myst fans, are invited. The length of these gatherings can range from one to three days, during which attendees are invited to stay at a specific hotel. Besides talking, discussing, eating and so on, most gatherings include one or more trips to tourist attractions, such as theme parks, museums and tour boats. Furthermore, many gatherings involve contests and quizzes, with great prizes to be won, such as posters, games, soundtracks, books, and so on, some of which were even signed by Cyan employees in the past.

In 2005 AD ^{(9661 DE)}, the DutchMYSTCommunity organized the EuroMysterium.
