An introduction to Myst Online for newbies (Massively)

Myst is a game of exploration, understanding, and puzzle solving. It's a world where being social, meeting others, and keeping your eye open are keys to success. Even the game's UI is a puzzle in and of itself, as you don't acquire it until you explore the world and find it.

My recommendation when you play Myst: slow down. Don't feed the need to plow through the content. You're not going to get much in the way of rewards from completing puzzles. If you rush, you're going to miss what Myst has to offer. Instead, stop and smell the cavern. Look, touch, interact, and explore.

I messed with this a little bit when it was on Gametap. I wasn't able to solve a single puzzle, though I did make some good progress in one of them. The one where you have to capture the orbit of the planetoid in the central spire thingie to power the rest of the puzzle up. I managed to get upstairs and out into the swampy area, but couldn't find a clue to tell me what to do from there.

Anyone else trying this monstrous game?

Edit: Downloading the client right now... I couldn't help myself..

It sounds like an interesting experience- I'll have to give it a try sometime!

For the curious, my ID # is 01092896 I'm in DRC(254) Bevin I am Loendal

Find me, we'll see what we can find out! I've solved the Cleft, and I've found my way back to the one I mentioned above with the star needing held in the machine to power things. I've gotten a little further then before, but am having trouble getting some cell doors open. I've found what appears to be a combination for the pressure plates on the floor, but I can't get the damn gates open!


Edit: Bevin 254, my mistake. Corrected

I have now solved my first Age, it's called Teledahn and it's the one I mentioned above with having to capture the orbiting star to power things up. I needed a little help from another player to solve the jail cell combo lock, but after that it was pretty easy. Apparently there's still more I can do there (Such as drain out the water that's flooded the place, I think) but I haven't gone back in to see what more I can do. There was a third worm gear that I couldn't get moving, so either it's designed to never move or there's something else I need to do.

I started one of the other ones, Gasheen (I think) and I can't get anywhere in it. So I went to a third one (the name I currently forget) and have made significant progress (I think) but need to find a fourth combination lock to get any further. It looks like a giant clockwork will be set to motion when I get this last combination figured out.

For those who give this a try, add me to your buddy list if you go in, and put in here what your login is so I can add you as well and we can go puzzle solving

Edit: Just noticed; the screenshot you put at the start of this article is the clockwork one I'm working on now

Sounds interesting!
