Ashtar

You need to read this article from Gamers Europe:

http://www.gamerseurope.com/articles/464

The best, and probably the most accurate accessment on the demise of Uru Live that I have read so far. It brings back a lot of good memories we had together as fellow explorers and friends.

That is an awesome article. It describes so many of the feelings I've had about Uru Live that I've been unable to clearly express. Thanks for the link Ashtar.

Same with me. Including other people not understanding. (There are real people here and you're just playing in you fantasy uru-land) (see also: AAAAARRRRGGGG!!!!! in the RANDOMNESS FORUM) It really sucks tat the one place I could go to meet lots of people, besides school, was closed down. It was tough to live with (Hey! Did I say you could talk?" and now it's impossible.

Good link Ashtar, I think we should all add our 'penny's worth' to the article - perhaps the 'powers that be' may give it a peruse.

Thanks for the great link Ashtar. This has to be one of the most thoughtful articles I've read over the few weeks regarding the end of Uru Live, it's not the usual knee jerk reaction, but an honest and thoughtful piece.

Any possibility that Cyan will include IP & LAN capabilities in their explansion packs? If so, we could continue our Journey together in smaller groups... Wink

One thing Cyan will never do is hand out their well-funded server software if there's any hope Live will come back someday....

Actually.... that is, unless they forced a check with a central server as a way of cashing in on server activity between players, and controlling/regulating that technology.... well, there's an idea.

Cheap, too. Anyway....

I think the optimal solution would probably be for someone to hack/code a "Neverwinter Nights" type setup. That way, we'd still get to be online together, but there wouldn't be any real complications with re-releasing Live, and it costs Cyan nothing...

Yet another situation solved by theft Rolling Eyes
