[small]Yesterday, as soon as I found out the news that Myst Online: Uru LiveAgain was being released, I rushed to Cyan's website to make an account. As an old Myst fan, and someone very eager to play Uru Live when it was released (which of course never came about for me), I was somewhat excited to see this release. Sadly, the servers were down, it would seem, due to so many people trying to create accounts. So I shrugged my shoulders, went to bed, and decided to try again after my lectures today.
Skip to this morning. I woke up, did my usual morning routine, and fired up my laptop to check my emails before heading off to uni. While I had a free moment I decided to try again to create an account. Happily, the servers were back up, so I went to the 'Play' tab on the site and followed th instructions. I was told to submit my email address, and that they would send an email to me within a few minutes giving details on how to continue. I did so, and waited. No email came through.
Cut to now. It's been roughly six hours, and yet still no email from Cyan. I've tried again since, and still nothing. What I want to know is, has anybody else tried to create an account for the game (there's bound to be someone, I've noticed plenty of Myst fans on this site before), and if so, did you have this problem? Also, how did you rectify it, or didn't you?
I'm going to try again now with a different email address, since I've been using my Hotmail address to do this and I haven't considered my University Email account yet. If it works then great, but expect an update here after I've tried it.[/small]
Okay then, I just tried it again with my university email address and it worked sraight away. Maybe it's a problem with Hotmail...
Anyway, this thread is now slightly redundant, so to avoid having wasted my time (and yours), and to avoid wasting Themis Media computer memory and so on, I'm changing this completely. The new topic is, have you played any of the games in the Myst series, or read any of the background books and expanded universe stuff? If so, what do you enjoy about the series? What games are your favourites, etc. Basically, treat this thread as a place for an open discussion about all things Myst
