Nope, Uru is a non violent game, well more or less.

Although, I did hear an interesting rumour this afternoon...

Apparently, there may be a villain released in Uru Live. It came up in the Town Hall meeting earlier today.

Interesting. . .

I've often thought of inviting someone to my Relto in UU for a game of soccer - IE, pushing a rock around on the dock, using the support posts at either end as goals.
However, the beams across the dock make it difficult to get the 'ball' over into a goal square...

I've heard on UruObsession and UruLive forums that there may eventually be a combat element (but in context, context being Maintainer training or something of that sort)

what a question to ask if it will be PVP. Has any of the myst games had weapons use to kill you. I don't think it possible to die in any of the myst games. But if we do get those vehicles we wont need the gun from teledahn all we will have to do is run people over. hehehe. URU Live: distruction is coming, find a way, make a home.

Ummm.... There are many ways to die in the Myst series.

In Myst, it's not technically dying, but you get trapped inside the Books.

In Riven, if you don't trick Gehn, he shoots you. If you use the D'ni Book in Tay, the Book gets burned. If you use the D'ni Book on Riven, Gehn gets one of his lackies to use it, and you pop out and he shoots you. If you don't trap gehn when you open the fissure, he shoots you AND Atrus.

In Exile, if you Link to Tomahna before you save Releeshahn and trap Saavedro, he Links through after you and clubs you, Atrus and Catherine to death (And probably little Yeesha too).

In Revelation, I've only found one death scene so far - if you release Yeesha before you save her, she shoots you and Achernar.

End of Ages doesn't have a death scene, but being trapped on a dead Myst Island is almost as bad...

So, justhetigger, there are plenty of death scenes in the Myst series - what I've placed here may not be the only examples, either, there is possibly a dozen more scenes I've not found yet.

Oh... that sounds interesting.

I always thought it strange that CyanWorlds never captialized on the murder of Calam.

I imagine that Uru Live will be entirely dynamic, and as I would imagine in this sense, the villain may be played by a real person - possibly a Cyan employee - who will do villainous deeds.

The upside to this is the story will be forever changing, and no one will be able to help out with someone elses game like UU's puzzles and Markers.

The downsides are, only those online will be able to interact with the villain, and as such it will be almost exclusive to the US, while we in other time zones will be limited to updates and recaps.

Oh, and I appologise for the lack of Spoiler tags, I will keep it in mind for next time.
