It launched as an open beta called Uru Live: Prologue alongside the standalone Ages Beyond Myst release. Originally, Ages Beyond Myst was intended to be the standalone introduction to a Massively Multiplayer Online Game called Uru Live, which Cyan would support with regular content and story updates. The restoration effort is led by the D'ni Restoration Council, but explorers let into the underground cavern by Jeff Zandi find that Yeesha has her own plan to effect a more spiritual restoration. Unlike the rest of the Myst games, Uru is set in the present day, and chronicles the effort to rebuild the recently-rediscovered D'ni civilization buried deep beneath the New Mexico desert. Uru is a spinoff of the Myst series, first released in 2003 as Uru: Ages Beyond Myst by original series developer Cyan. Events and elements in the D'ni Universe are regarded as fictional.
