URU was the first and only multiplayer game in Myst, and was shut down. Exiles of this world, URU players were traumatized and moved into Second Life, or There.com. Brought URU culture with them and called themselves as refugees, or diaspora. Created derivative artifacts to copy and adopt culture into the new place - inculturation, or transculturation. They moved 7 times because of very similar large refugee populations face in the physical world. They finally settled on an island.
