I'm certian that interesting times are ahead, and even should Cyan's vision of Uru fade in the end it will still live on within all of us. Mushy much?

All may not be lost it seems. I don't know though, I think I've learned cautious pessimism . A small spark of hope flared up when I read that and was immediately quelled.

Sound's like Cyans "Cautious Exectutive Optimist" is giving us some indirect words of encouragement 
I am encouraged again.

We'll see, note he said "we're looking into", so let's not hold da breaths just yet.
Still, I imagine Cyan would do a lot better if they could host it themselves AND if they were getting ALL of the 10 dollar fee.
But, we don't know what it would cost them, etc.
Hey......maybe THAT'S why they moved the servers??? Or am I confusing that with something else.

Maybe.
In the past two years Cyan also created a second business unit at its north Spokane offices. That group, numbering about 40 workers, provides quality control and testing for other game development companies.
So THAT'S what all the testers were for!

My god this shows us quite a bit of information...
Hmm...
Right now, I'm just collecting all the notes on Uru I have with me right now. Until we get a definite word from Cyan, we can't do much. But we need to plan to put stuff in motion JUST IN CASE Uru doesn't get hosted by Cyan itself...
However, yes Chacal, I'm VERY surprised at learning about those 40 testers :S

If you haven't voiced your opinion yet in this related poll over at Myst Online, I recommend doing so - especially in light of Rand's quote about the servers:

The article seems to have vanished behind a subscriber wall. Can someone summarize? (Beyond the second business unit quote, I got that.)

I'm not sure it matters now, as Greydragon came back the other day, and assured people that the "Press" is not painting a truthful picture of what is going on at Cyan, and that most quotes from Rand were simply some of his Hopes and Wishes for Cyan is all.

Belford, in short what Rand said is Cyan was sorting out the IP issues with Gametap, and was considering the option of running their own MOUL servers.
