We’re told that the gameplay of Myst Online won’t lead us along typical MMORPG games such as Everquest or Dark Ages of Camelot, with Cyan Worlds instead focussing on the exploration that made the pre-rendered adventure games so popular. Of course, meeting other players and interacting with them is a major aspect; but unlike every other game, Myst Online will not place individuals in competition. There will be no emphasis on statistics or progress in the traditional role-playing style.
