So, what is it going to be called?

Whatever we call the software, the servers or the project, that is all just the wrapping paper.
The place I'll go to play, the real present, is URU.

to be shure that it is not tooo stupid, go to : knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Tane/ :!:

Tane
In Polynesian mythology, Tane is the god of trees and light, and the first son of Rangi and Papa. As a young boy, he was hunted by Atea. Escaping to Earth, Tane became very hungry and ate a man, becoming the first cannibal. He later killed Atea with lightning bolts, given to him by his ancestor, Fatu-tiri. He created the dawn, as well as the Tui, a bird that was a staple food of the Polynesians.
With Hina, he was the father of Hine-nui-te-Po, whom he later married, not knowing who she was. Upon discovering that she had married her father, Hine-nui-te-Po fled to the underworld, and began ruling there as queen.

Tane's eternal enemy is Whiro. Tane created Tiki, the first man.

it sounds mystic isn't it so :?:

I think the best idea for a name is something that Myst fans would recognize, at the same time for those who do not know of the Myst Series something that stimulates the imagination

Judging from the main page it looks like Cyan is going for OSUL (Open Source Uru Live).

OSUL, huh? Well, I still think vid's suggestion of "Uru" captured the spirit entirely, regardless of people trying to confuse the issue with trying to say if it's offline or online (even if Uru Live never really started making it a bit moot).

So long as it's not that "MOOSE" I'll live with it :wink:

Darn, I was going to say MOOSE...

Myst Online Open SourcE :lol:

Speak for yourself

OSUL is a mouthful, so i'll be personally sticking to MOOSE

reminder that "Uru Live" was intended to come after the prologue of Uru back in 2003/4, then Ubi made the mistake of pulling funding, that iteration of the game failed, sorry.

Uru live not only used a different version of Plasma, and Physics, but is vastly inadequate, loads of problems, some physics relating to Havok, not just mac porting, Cyan really did need the money to clean it up.

back when prologue closed down, a couple of the developers talked about some of corners they had to cut in order to get the game out in the state they did. One of these is sub worlds, but it doesn't look like that they changed that perspective.

Sub worlds is a good idea, and I think is based off of instancing, maintaining a constant inertia was one issue.
I wish they got rid of those myself.

Had uru live become a reality, it would have probably have become the preferred place to to meet up in a virtual environment, sad as it is some guys from prologue took the initiative and formed Linden Labs and Second Life (noticed how their logo is very similar to the journey cloth, thats no accident), it would have also allowed for a strong modding community, that is about 1/3 now of what it was.

Sorry to spoil it for you, but that title is for a non existant game, MOOSE is coming which is a variation of the Until Uru theme for MOUL, but completely open source.

Grogyan, MOUL was a later iteration of UL, a flawed, broken, and imperfect iteration, but, it was still a new Iteration of Uru Live.

On that note MOOSE is not necessarily a good name, either. As far as any "official" name, we only have "Open Source Uru Live".

We have the chance to restore at least /part/ of the shine of Uru Live, with OSUL. It is a "Uru Live" a new iteration. Regardless of the history, MOUL was, essentially. "Uru Live" considering Until Uru ended, when its purpose was fufilled, and its title made meaningless. Uru Live returned, flawed, imperfect. We have a chance to fix that.

Uru

And don't be fooled by the people calling the new Uru MOOSE, they're just testing names for Cyan's next great game, "Manhole Online Open Spelunx Experience"!

So, what is it going to be called?
