Hi all.
I have seen y'alls proposal, however, since I'm not part of the legal team, I can't comment directly on that.
However, one of the things I was wondering about was the Volcano Dataserver. Is there any reason why it can't just server fan-created ages only? In other words, there would be no Cyan created ages (except for enough to run the game, such as avatars, global, etc.). A player that would connect to the volcano data server and one of your shards would only be able to play/visit fan-created ages. If they wanted to play Cyan created Uru ages then they would go to a standard UntilUru shard and data server.
This might make it more palatable to legal if there was no (little) copyrighted data being served outisde of Cyan control and make it easier to distinguish fan-create ages.
Also, I noticed elsewhere that there is discussion of creating your own nexus type age... that sounds like a good place for a Volcano player to start their exploration.
What do you guys think?
