    Myst Online Goes Offline

    I took the opportunity for a free visit to Myst online a month before the shutdown. I can't say I will miss it, even though I'm a fan of the Myst series - the framerate was slow even after downloading a gig via my rather fast DSL connection, and there were only a few areas to explore besides the...
