I would have liked N'Uru (i.e. New Uru), but I think that's been taken by a previous project. G'Uru?

However - if this project ever does go GPL then 75th Trombone's suggested "Gnuru" is a winner!

Hmmm..
It's URU, with additional fan ages, so how about...

XURU = eXtensible URU ?

I'm ex-URU for the time being.

How about URU-Alive.

I'm thinking about how Atrus is sitting there and discovering that the city isn't dead. Then failure. Then hope, DRC. Then failure. Then hope, and Bahro war. Then failure. Then hope and the new settlers organize themselves in the recontructed guilds, and take control of the city, it's writing arts and heritage. For good or evil. No more overseeing semi surface structures like the DRC. No one can close or choose who or why. The city in the deep is "ALIVE"!

PS! I know I'm touching upon the Line of Demarcation between opinions on how to form the future here. But that is not the point, so please...

There's really two things to name here: The game we play, and the open source project for the game engine development.

Uru, or MystOnline are great for the game. Uru will be the name under my desktop icon(s).
Myst Online Open Source Engine - MOOSE - is excellent for the project. Clear, direct, and kinda goofy

I can just imagine the conversation at someone's home:

"What are you doing?"
"Playing a game called MOOSE."
(pause)
"Oh."

What about just "Uru" in regards to the game, and "OSMO" in regards to the initiative behind it?

Rusty_Russell · **Posted:** Thu Dec 18, 2008 9:22 pm

No-one's started a poll...! My money's on URU.

Personally, I don't care what we call it so long as we get to go HOME. So, just for fun, I have a name inspired by this song:

Nah, polls are too confining, it's better to have free floating opinions hehe. I do think the majority prefers just Uru, anybody cares to count?
