After our in-depth look at the final hours of the Myst Online: Uru Live beta, we were pretty eager to jump back into the caverns and get back to exploring. We didn't have to wait long as the game officially launched today and there was more going on than just the in-game block parties.
Gametap is offering up a free trial of their service that comes along with a visitor account for Myst Online, though it does sound rather limited. You'll be allowed to create one character in which to explore one stage of the game, as well as any public neighborhood. It is worth a shot of course, if not just to scope out the locals.
A new Linking Book was also released that takes players to age of Tsogal. Inside the book is an incredible looking water garden with, naturally, a few to hide. While we were initially stumped (and distracted) by an ominous locked door, spinning around and flashing patterns, we manged to break on through to the other side with the help of other travelers. As for any other additional content, we'll just have to do some more exploring.
