Uru Shards

Last update: Untěl Uru has been shut down. You can read the according announcement in the Myst Online forums. I will leave this page up for now, although most of the links will be defunctional. In case you are interested, I provide the shard data as an XML file which I used to create the table below. It contains additional information about several shards (including formerly open ones), and a history of the changes I made to this webpage. (If your web browser supports XSL, then you can view some of the shards' data in a very basic layout by following the link. To download the XML file, use the appropriate function from the link's context menu.)


The servers where you can play Uru online are called "shards". Here you find a list of all shards that I know of. If you have problems with setting up Untěl Uru, then maybe my installation guides can help.

Each shard is listed with the following information, if available:

Shard:
The name of the shard. If the shard has an associated website, then the respective link is given, too. For shards which are not included in the list of the Untěl Uru Client (UruSetup), the address is given; enter this address into the "Server" input field to access the shard.
Front Page:
A link to the web page that is displayed in the Uru Client during the login. There is also a page with an overview of all front pages that are available.
Online Players:
A link to the web page that lists the players who are currently active on the shard. There is also a page with an overview of all online players on those shards that provide this information.
Location and Timezone:
Name of the country and the timezone in which the shard is located. The offset in hours in relation to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) helps when converting the time into your local time. Please note that daylight saving times are not automatically adjusted. Hence you should verify the correct times especially during adjustment periods.
Comments:
Miscellaneous information about, for instance, the shard's availability.

If you know of other shards or if you have got any additional information, then let me know, please.

Notes About the Shards Running Alcugs

If you want to play on a shard running Alcugs, then you should remember some prerequisites. You should be aware of the fact that this server software is in development and far from being free of errors. Don't expect smooth playing on those shards. You are likely to be dealing with distorted graphics, crashes, and other hassles. But at the same time you are helping the developers to improve the server software, simply by using and testing it.

Always use the stated Uru client. If you use another client, then you are bound to crash your game and even the whole shard! Get help for preparing the required clients from the installation guides for Untěl Uru and Alcugs H'uru. You can find detailed information about the required Uru clients via the Alcugs H'uru Public servers list.

Get in contact with the maintainer of the shard. The administrators can tell you exactly what is needed to access and play on their shards.
