A '''shard''' is an array of one or several game servers to support one instance of [[Myst Online: Uru Live|Uru Live]]. Shards do not communicate with each other; indeed, explorers end up on completely separate instances of ages, unable to see or send messages to each other.

In early [[2006 CE|2006]], Cyan created their own Untìl Uru shard, '''''[[Myst Online: Uru Live#D'mala|D'mala]]''''', as a precursor to their attempt at reviving Uru Live itself, which ultimately led to Myst Online: Uru Live.
