Myst Live Does Episodic Gaming
On May 19th, Myst Online: Uru Live, is going to start using the episodic approach to pushing out new updates and story lines, according to this article at Adventure Gamers. We all know how these online games seem to push out these updates that we’re really not sure what they do. We’re not sure it they’re going to change our skill levels, introducing new baddies or just doing upgrades to servers and reading through long lists of changes seems pretty boring to me. I mean, just look at these patch notes from The World of Warcraft site. Doesn’t that seem a bit much to just… seamlessly integrate? Would it be better if there was a story line behind the reason all your skills were taken away from you? Wouldn’t it?!
Well, at least with Myst Online: Uru Live, there will be reasons for new characters and lands and all that cool stuff. The first episode to come out, which will be May 19th, will be titled Scars. Here’s what Adventure Gamers has to say about it:
The first of the new episodes is called “Scars”, and will launch on May 19th. The episode includes the brand new Age of Minkata, but players will find that “calamity arrives when someone close to them dies. The effects of this tragedy will change the course of the restoration forever.”
I’ve read that other online games have taken a similar approach and that many of the players like it. I think it’s a great way to get all those updates out there without confusing players. Of course, I am confused a lot, so maybe that’s the entire problem. Hmmmm….
