Preview of Uru Live

From MYSTlore

The Preview of Uru Live, not to be confused with Uru Live Preview, was the final phase of Myst Online: Uru Live pre-release testing.

Most notably, it differed from open beta (or sneak peek) in that, much like Prologue from Uru Live (2003), a multi-player storyline arc is being built up^[1][2]. It involves the DRC, the Bahro, and the expansion of opened areas in Ae'gura.

Contrary to previous rumors, non-subscription testers from previous pre-release tests who had been invited up until (and including) Uru Live Preview could continue to play without any subscription fee, including invitees both from countries where the GameTap subscription service would be available (the United States and Canada) as well as countries where it is not (Australia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom). Further, for the latter set of countries, a sign-up page was provided for others to join for free and without invitation.
