GameTap is bringing back Cyan’s online game “Uru Live,” in large part because of the passionate community that kept the Uru world alive for two years in its absence.
The Uru Relto, a stylized building from “Uru Live,” which is set to return after a two-year absence.
A version of the Relto as created by former “Uru Live” players in “Second Life.” After “Uru Live” got shut down, groups of several hundred passionate fans set up small-scale versions of the game in two other virtual worlds.
After the plug was pulled on “Uru Live,” former players went so far as to create an island in “There” called Relto Island.
