Thought I might see how this went over:

I love the architecture and veichles from the Myst series (Exile and Riven being its sequals), and I thought it may be cool do make a themed community in the fashion of D'ni. What do you think?

This is almost OT, but not quite...

I believe they are making an MMORPG based on the Myst series called Uru.

iirc the link is http://uru.ubisoft.com. If that doesn't work, hit up UbiSoft's website and look for Uru.

Do not call it a Myst theme. It is okay to mention that it was inspired by Myst (an awesome game IMO) but unless you want lawyers writing bark letters it's best to chose some non-copyrighted name for it.

Probably a great way to proceed would be to pick one typical puzzle and then see how well you can get it working in SL scripting, etc.

This will be a great learning experience and will influence design for the larger project.

Fantastic idea! We've always dreamt of what cool stuff could be done in this direction.

I'd like to join - although due to anoying things like 'work' in RL I don't spend nearly as much time in SL as I'd like, or need, to get my projects built.

It's been said that my airship-house (under construction) looks quite 'myst'-like. It's in Clementina...sorry, but I've forgotten the coordinates :(
IM me for a landmark if you wanna take a look-see.

I'd like to build one that's two or three times the size, but I don't have alot of cash being a newbie. I'm still finding my feet scripting-wise, but I design games for a living, so I'm sure I could help with puzzle design.

If there's room for a part-timer (only due to the fact I can only be in SL late at night... although my body seems to be adapting to very little sleep quite well lol) I'd love to contribute!

Thinking of a name for the theme that doesnt violate copyright is tricky. How about 'Secondlife Myst', or Syst? lol

Cyst? Hmm...maybe not :D
