Requirements[edit source]
Fan-created content intended for the official Myst Online shard operated by Cyan should comply with the following rules:[1][2]
- When writers (aka fan developers) are creating linking books they are bound by the D'ni limitations of writing.
- However, writers are able to use special items for linking and modifications to linking with the following limitations:
- Writers should stay away from special Cyan created character items (such as Yeesha and Bahro items) with the exception of Yeesha Pages.
- You can create Save/Journey like cloths (or other material) but must be of your own unique design. They can behave exactly like Save/Jouney cloths but should look different.
- Same with linking stones, glyphs, sparkies, crystals, etc. Make them your own unique design. Add your own storyline for why they exist but not required.
- Creating new trophies and achievement reward items displayed in the player's Relto or Neighborhood or Age is encouraged!
- Writers must not break continuity with previously released D'ni information.
- Writers must not reveal "new" information about characters, places, groups, etc. used by Cyan, including other Cyan titles (unless an exception is approved by Cyan).
- Writers must not use the intellectual property of others.
