This page is being created specifically for use as a collection of resources for Tai'lahr's project, "History of the Called." It is a timeline of events demonstrating the development of the Myst-Uru Community. It is completely OOC; any IC events that took place should be noted as being revealed in an OOC manner.
1993
September 24, 1993 - Video game and educational software publisher, Brøderbund Software releases Cyan's Myst game for Mac OS computers. [1]
Not much information has been uncovered about the year or so immediately following the release of Myst. The Wayback Machine site which this author relies on for finding archived web pages wasn't started until 1996, so information about the time before is difficult to find.
We might presume that Myst fans used bulletin boards and services like UseNet and AOL groups to seek out other fans and discuss the game. The Brøderbund Bulletin Board was advertised on the Myst registration card along with phone numbers for technical support, so the board might have been strictly technical support. It's listed on the webpage, 415 Area Code BBSes Through History as being active from 1992 to 1995. 415 Area Code BBSes Through History, archived page, June 12, 2006

February 2005 - The Garternay site changes to a picture of two cones with caution tape in front of a framed photo of a book with Narayan symbols on the cover sticking out of the sand on a beach. Clicking on the image revealed the words, "A seabird calls. The unknowing one stands at the rail. Peace. The circle is closed. The last word written. -From the Korokh Jimah. vv.13245-46."

February 2008 - The Garternay site becomes the topic of discussion on the MOUL forums in the thread, www.gaternay.com. The site changed in December 2008 (archived page) and contained a puzzle which eventually led to an IC blog (archived page, March 10, 2010).
