Would someone please post a sticky with links to the fan created ages so people can find them more readily, then delete this post? Thanks.

silmefea, if it were that easy...

There is no one place where all of that information exists. Also the information does not remain constant. Fans are constantly changing things, new ages are started, others near varying levels of competition, others are released to Alpha or Beta testing at Myst-Uru GoMa's site, others are made available by different download processes (mostly ULM/Drizzle), new ideas are discussed at Myst-Uru GoW and some of those ideas dead-end and others flower, those writing ages stop to cram for finals or have RL issues that take them away for a time, some are pulled out of distribution for various reasons... its complex.

I am sure there is NOT any one person that knows the current state of all the fans ages. Both GoW and GoMa try to keep a current list and way for fans to get the latest fan created ages. Because of the Drizzle complication it is hard to keep the most current information on this forum. That will correct once open source is released, it's an intellectual property thing.

Plus all you are reading here and in other Myst-Uru forums is about 99% fan written and maintained. While this is Cyan's forum, it is mostly run by fans with oversight by Cyan. So, things like the Guild Resource Lists are handled by fans participating in those guilds. The Important Threads/Topics list is maintained by a fan.

The Myst series is not a simple series games brought to market and all on sale. It is more like a classic movie. One does not see a classic movie advertised on TV or featured at Blockbuster all that often. Fans know of the movie and search it out. The Myst Series is somewhat similar.

Nor are the fan ages all at 'Presentation' stage. Everything is in construction. With a game company you would never see this disarray. With fans you get to see the whole confusing process as it happens in real time.

So, those two links above get you to where the best and most current information is kept.

I'm sorry, I was vague, allow me to clarify. What I would like is to have a sticky in place where people can post their links to UCAs. My thought was that it could be started by a mod gathering the links they know of and posting them there and others would follow suit. That will keep a lot of the UCAs where people can easily find them in a section to which they are relevant.

I get that finding all of them would be like herding cats.

All of the released fan Ages ever are listed here: http://alcugs.almlys.org/UAM/Ages (along with screenshots and walkthroughs.)

Some works-in-progress are mentioned here: http://forum.guildofwriters.com

Neither GoW nor GoMa try to keep such a list, no.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much! That's half the battle, now if it could just be kept at the top of the list...

The GoMa wiki has recently been revised and added to, thanks to the efforts of Erik, Nalates and Xindhus. The section on exploring fan ages has been extended to include a useful list of ages (information sources are referenced on the wiki). It indicates the general status of ages for the community and helps GoMa in tracking inspections. The list does not include ages whose creators ask GoMa for confidentiality while their ages are being developed and checked.

Here's the link to the GoMa wiki main page:
