		+	=====Dual Mode Sandbox Shard=====
		+
		+	For Shard Owners - Both the above shards can co-exist alongside each other on the same server by following the instructions to each setup. By changing two lines in the dirtsand.ini file, you will be able to switch between Tiny and Sandbox without the need for a reboot. This has been tested successfully and works like a charm.

	I am pleased to offer all the Uru fans out there the 'Tiny Sandbox Shard Howto' and the 'Sandbox Shard with Dataserver' wiki pages that I recently wrote and proven to work. Both wiki pages are 100% compatible with each other in that you can switch between Tiny and Full Sandbox if you happen to setup both on the same server.

-is easy to setup, easy to maintain and can help you test CWE compatible ages quickly. However you need to make sure that each client has exactly the same content, and if you test ages on one machine, you need manually copy that content to the other machine as well.

		+	== A Little History ==
		+
		+	Cyan has come a long way since the release of Myst. Their original 2D "point and click" game eventually evolved into a fully three dimensional gameplay with unrestricted movement and engaging avatar animations. Although Myst was the forefather of MOUL, in our wiki we wont be covering the MYST engine or how to set it up. It is too outdated. If you really want to play Myst you can use your original Myst CD content, Drizzle and TPOTS.
		+
		+	We need to draw a line as to what versions of Cyan's engine we use, and what purpose each version serves. Below is a list of the commonly accepted Versions.
		+
		+	Only one version will be used to setup our SANDBOX SHARD. The CWE Client using the MOULa content!
		+
		+
		+	* '''Choru''' - Cyan's Closed Beta.
		+	* '''Ubiru''' - Ubisoft's Closed Beta.
		+	* '''ABM''' - Ages Beyond Myst - The vanilla single player version of Uru.
		+	* '''Prologue''' - The original MMO version of Uru. (Essentially an Open Beta)
		+	* '''UruUpdate12''' - Update package to fix bug with ATI Graphics cards.
		+	* '''DNI''' - To D'ni Expansion Pack - an add-on extension that adds some of the Prologue Ages along with a recap of the Prologue story.
		+	* '''TPOTS''' - The Path of the Shell Expansion Pack - adds even more content to ABM.
		+	* '''CC''' - Complete Chronicles - a compilation of the first 4 packages as a single distribution.
		+	* '''UU''' - Untìl Uru - A no longer officially supported online version of ABM.
		+	* '''D'mala''' - The Cyan Worlds Until Uru Shard.
		+	* '''MOUL''' - Myst Online: Uru Live - The Third Online Incarnation of Uru
		+	* '''MOULagain / MOULa''' - Myst Online: Uru Live Again - Resurrected version of MOUL
		+
		+	and finally the Open Source Client that has been given to the community by Cyan Worlds, namely:
		+
		+	* '''CWE''' - CyanWorlds.com Engine - the recently released Open Source client based on MOUL - Note: not a full source release.
		+
		+
		+
		+	If you want to start building ages, we do not recommend following this wiki beyond the following few lines. There are many tutorials on the Guild of Writers to help you build your first age.
