OHB is right~~!!!
There.com when it first started was very much like what URU is!!! There had a storyline and Age like Islands and
areas. You could build in most all these areas and each had several 'FunZones' there was 3 differant type of 'FunZone' too.
Basicly There was a copy of our real world put into 3D!
When it first started it was very expencive to play it had a subscription of 75 usd a month! Later they put it to 50usd a month.
Then 25usd and then 'Black Friday' happened. where all or most of the artists DEVs where layed off or fired.
There ran out of money and was going to close its doors forever. But the Thereians members all cried out NOOOoooo
PLEASE SAVE OUR HOMES!! etc etc. Thats when MW stepped up and gave the members a ultimatom that
He and right hand man Vash would keep There open but the complaining had to stop about unfixed bugs etc.
The Orignal storyline was also just cut off too, ironicly the same thing has happened with URU the storyline just
stops, frozen in time. ( MW and Vash were the main stockholders for example )
Because MW and Vash didn't know the code very well, so they had to do these 'fiddles' MW put it thats when
they tweaked some vertible that ran some aspect in there wether it be the phyics or how to add things or take things out, etc.
There.com went to a Free to play and pay 10usd only once which would get voice and the primium package.
There.com Was My first true virtual HOME! I had many friends and alot of fun doing things.
I remember very distincly that most of the DEVs layed off from the Black Friday went over to work for SL!
The dates and times Im not sure of, but I over heard the Lindens talking about how so much better There.com was doing
There.com was making so much more money than they were! One guy said he was thinking about trying to get his
old job back at There.com again.
Then like 2 months later There.com closed its doors! WAH!!! WAH!!! I'm still shedding tears to this day.
( not sure of the dates or times:) But ONE main thing IMO put the final bullet into There.com and that was a series
of MAJOR bunders made to the GUI, chat KI thingy box, There had voice as well as text chat you could stay in voice chat
while you raced your buggy around a trak made by someone in a funzone, They broke the chat box when they tried to
change it "peter princable" made it so they could not undo what they had done, and that was you could not stay in voice chat
anymore cause every time you'd click , you would get thrown out of the chat, made it impossible to Race buggies and basicly
doing anything and trying to chat at the same time was now broken to either chat or race for an example.
Vash and MW had a Major fight not sure what it was really about but I think it was Vash had desided(spelling) he had, had
enough and wanted to leave to enjoy all the money he had made before he grew too old to enjoy it. IMO.
MW would'nt let him go because Vash was the only one who knew the code on how to emplement and run things better
than anyone. With this chip on his sholder he began doing bad things like just throwing out 100's of hood paz zones
over server lines and just anywhere some of them were pliled ontop of eachother etc.. causing major lag, and avyman crashes
among other anomilies. He then went and sabotaged Space, turned it into a sick looking gray smog color. Lagged out Tyr
with a huge statue of himself in about 5 layers of paz,hood,funzone zones! So Vash was demoted sence he couldn't be fired.
MW was left pretty much holding the bag, and without Vash There.com was like the Titanic and MW just could not afford
to keep it running, While all this was taking place 100's of members left There and even more after the chat box was broken.
I will always wonder why MW couldn't have reduced the servers and brought back the subscriptions per month again.
That could have saved There.com from totaly dieing IMO. There.com was and still is in many ways ahead of its time.
fiery abyss the US Military even used it for training at one time!
I GOT IT! We need a ALL in one type game that has ALL the game genders in it F2P, MMO, SIM, MMORPG, Adventure,
throw them all in! How we get these simple through Ages! D'ni went to other ages and BROUGHT BACK things from them
and visa virsa. Good and bad from G rated to R/X rated R rated linking books could be privet books or in a restricted area
where one would have to meet certain cryteria or status to be able to use them etc.
Cyan's Kelio bone age has creatures you can actualy fly! and have dog fights on etc. But it seems that URU's akillies heel
was infact the Phyics engine Bring back Havok or else URU stays the same as it is now. IMO.
Sorry I have rammbled on for far to long about nothing actualy. not sure why I even try anymore, nothing will happen
We ALL Just go around and around in circles forever, and getting nowhere, How can WE new human D'ni Do anything!?
for YEARS We have waited and WAITED all for not! Watson said Find a way Make a home! well HOW CAN WE
if Cyan doesn't FOLLOW THROUGH with what they said they'd do? So its up to us RIGHT!? thats what Watson said
did he not? SO Lets Hack the caca out of this and start RESTORING THE CITY and MAKING the cavern Truly OURS!
ALL Myst games Cyan actualy encuraged Hacking their games to learn from also finding hidden easter eggs was the motivation.
It was COS Cyan Open Sorce.
IMO, Cyan should and needs to just add in EVERYTHING they got left over, incl unfinished ages etc. and put them into
URU as UNFINISHED, areas, may not be accessable. example like the gareseen wall game. Take apart Myst 5 and
add it into URU the way it was supposed to be added as well. Set up UU/Moula shard network again, and someway
somehow bring back the old phyics engine Havok, Just use the older versions of URU ABM again and then convert all
GT URU new content back to Havok and add it in. Ok now that everything is here We CAN finaly start and
continue with what Dr. Watson said back many years ago at the ending of URU with GT days. I want to help Restore the city!
Not build ages!
Until URU DID AND WAS IN FACT WORKING AND STARTING TO GROW!
