Could I also take the opportunity to introduce myself?  I recently got interested in the whole Cyan universe once again, through helping fund Obduction, and I've started reminiscing about the Myst franchise for the first time in many, many years. I played Myst, Riven and Myst III when they first came out, and I even remember loving the original Hypercard stack of The Manhole back in the 1980s. Just a few days ago I discovered that I had (now unusable) installations of Myst IV and V on my Mac, which I have barely any recollection of playing - I don't think I finished either of them. Yes, life has a habit of getting in the way.
The one bit of the Myst franchise that I never got involved in was Uru. I think I was put off by the advertised MMO side of the thing - I have never to this day played an MMO game. But having watched Sven Groot's walkthroughs, I think I'd like to dabble in Uru using what little free time I have, to see how much headway I can make.
Once I manage to persuade someone to give me a login, I'm going to try to get Uru Live running on my Mac. Does anyone have any tips? I've glanced at the tutorial and it would seem that Wineskin is my best bet, but any specific advice for OS X El Capitan would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Richard

I am new here and just wanted to say hi and introduce myself and stuff. So um I have been a huge fan of MYST for...well forever. I was only 7 years old when the first one came out, so as you can probably imagine I didn't figure it out without extensive help from my dad and older brother. Actually we kind of all played the game together. It was a lot of fun working with my family to solve all the puzzles and unlock the story of MYST. As time went by my dad bought me the other MYST games. 1 through 5. I have played and loved all of them. Several times even, because over time I forget the puzzles and I get to play again and experience the wonderful story over again. I hadn't really heard of MO:UL until after it was taken off line. I actually heard that it wasn't very good, but I was still curious and upset that I never got to try it for myself. Recently I did get URU Complete Chronicles on Steam and I just finished it. I really enjoyed it. It is different from all the other MYST games, but it is still a lot of fun and has beautiful scenery, and intriguing puzzles. I wanted to experience URU Live though so that I could share my love of all things MYST with others who love it as much as I do.
