An avid Myst fan, she was mostly a solitary player and not a forum poster, but one of her favorite times in the cavern was when a group of explorers helped her to open the doors in Delin and Tsogahl.  Mother to three sons (J'Ankenne in the cavern/jankenne on MOUL forum was one of them).  A ceramic artist who created sculptures based on the sea, she loved the beauty of the Myst games, and the creativity that she saw displayed in the Myst community.

Revision as of 15:39, 19 August 2015

In Myst Online: Uru Live, during the episode, "Scars" (May 19 - 23, 2007), two of the NPCs, Willow "Wheely" Engberg and Rosette Taylor died in an area near the Kahlo pub. [1] After their deaths and as part of the story, wreaths and wrapped flowers appeared in the place where they died. A few weeks later, those items were removed and a permanent memorial of four rings with scrolling names was placed nearby, just outside of the Kahlo pub. This page is a list of those names along with information about the real people behind them.

Please note: If you add an outside link to this page (especially if it's to an older website), please be sure the page is saved in the Wayback Machine and include a link to the archived page, too. Example: MOUL forum post: Memorial Marker (WM)


Let me tell you about some of the most important people in D'ni History.... There are a lot of important figures we need to remember... There was Pehpsi, whose spirit was a light no matter how dark the Cavern was... Moz'ie, JDrake, Dust'ei, Aquila, Rasmine. People we have lost. But have made our lives so much the richer. And there are those who are still here.... More than I can name or remember... And for every one of them, there are a dozen others that work hard, help each other and never receive an iota of thanks or recognition. But these people are our history, this is our mythos. If you are here, you are part of that history. Every word you say is part of it. Every conversation is another chapter. - J.D. Barnes in Ae'gura following the DRC's Exodus, 05 November 2007.

Janet "Pehpsee" Burress

Arkansas, USA

Known on the forums and by her friends as Pepsi and using the name "Pehpsee" in the cavern (Ubi's policy prohibited avatar names with copyrighted products in them)[7], Janet was active in the community by 2003. Joining the Ubisoft forums as Pepsi1953 in June of that year, she would become a Moderator and Community Assistant on the Ubisoft MystWorlds forums.[8] Later that year, she would participate in the Uru Live Beta (Choru) and join the Guild of Greeters. She also participated in Prologue and was one of the original members of the DLA (D'ni League of Activities).[8] Pepsi received many well wishes in her last days [9] and many tributes upon her passing, including one from Cyanist Richard Watson (RAWA) written in the D'ni language,[10] thus earning her entrance into the D'ni Dictionary as a reference for those phrases.[11]
More than a decade after her passing, Janet continues to be fondly remembered by her cavern friends: Sheri Pate (Sh'aeri) frequently mentions Janet as an inspiration to her in her blog, The Eternal Sophomore, most notably, "The Janet Initiative" on January 1, 2015. Cyan's 2016 game, Obduction, which gave Kickstarter backers a chance to have personalized objects inserted in the game, includes a motorized wheelchair specified by Justin "Jibjustin" Esparza in honor of Janet.[12]

JDrake, also known as JD, 6, jdrake06 and John_Drake06, participated in PreAfter, the Uru Live Beta (Choru), Prologue, Until Uru, D'mala, and Myst Online: Uru Live (GameTap era). According to his introductory post[19] on the Guild of Greeters forum, JDrake was "credited with discovering the whereabouts of the long lost 'Rocky Jones, Space Ranger, Silvercup Bread Touring Rocket'" which looked similar to the Selenitic Spaceship on Myst Island.[20] During PreAfter, he and three friends created a Journey Hand sculpture of muffler parts for the contest,[21] a photo of which can be found on his website, The Grand Rapids Four "Journey to D'ni". JDrake joined the Guild of Greeters, November 10, 2003 and was quite active during Prologue, being one of the first 100 Greeters and instrumental in helping to run the Youth Greeter Program. Following the closure of the cavern in February 2004, he moved on to play Ryzom with several other Greeters. Although he returned to the cavern when it re-opened, he had retired from Greeting.[21]

Maureen "Mo'zie" Jannot

1943 - 6 June 2007

Birmingham, Alabama, USA

An avid Myst fan, she was mostly a solitary player and not a forum poster, but one of her favorite times in the cavern was when a group of explorers helped her and her son, J'Ankenne to open the doors in Delin and Tsogahl. A ceramic artist who created sculptures based on the sea, she loved the beauty of the Myst games, and the creativity that she saw displayed in the Myst community.

Sil-Oh-Wet

February 2012

Surface name: Lisa Watson

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

SIL_OH_WET on the forums, sil_oh_wet in the cavern, and just "Sil" to her friends, Lisa was an active explorer during the early Myst Online: Uru Live (GameTap era) days, participating in many storylines, hosting dance parties in the Kahlo Pub and hosting events in her neighborhood. "sil_oh_wet’s Bevin" was a popular place in those days, used to summon Yeesha (and she actually appeared)[31], a gathering place to wait for news from Rils when he went on an expedition to Negilahn with Douglas Sharper[32], and of course for parties, including the weekly Karaoke. Karaoke nights were Sil's idea and she organized and hosted them for several months before sharing the duties with other D'niJs. When the cavern closed in April 2008, the event continued in Second Life and continues to this day, both in SL and in the cavern.

If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane, we'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

No Farewell words were spoken; no time to say good-bye. You were gone before we knew it and only Yahvo knows why.
