Well I have actually been able to play Uru on the Gehn shard, and MOULa is apparently running, just no new account page. But I got a forum account there activated per instructions given here, and offered to have a MOULa account created for me, so I will have both options. Being a purist I would probably play and beat URU on the MOULa shard first, then play on the Gehn shard. But for now, until I have a MOULa account, I will enjoy the Gehn shard. Thank you to everyone involved here in operating it!
Oh and Uru on the Gehn shard runs fine on my PC. A little sluggish maybe, but everything works great and I am having no issues!
