What are shards?

Shards can be thought of as different instances of the URU online game. Each shard is generally run by different groups with different goals and missions. The Gehn Shard is run by the Guild of Writers–our goal is to improve URU using accepted canon and high-quality fan content.

The Gehn Shard offers bug fixes and fan content not found on the official Myst Online: Uru Live Shard. Furthermore, the Gehn Shard is run by the group responsible for the majority of fan development in URU.
