CL-Yes, this was open to all and it was wonderful to see so many famliar names there. A synopsis? I guess the pithiest would be MORE (the Myst Online Rerestoration Experiment) will be back online ASAP. This is measured in months with a lot of details to be worked out. There are only two at Cyan (who has a really really reduced workforce) working on the project. The immediate future is just to bring servers online with the old content. The Guilds (especially Guild of Writers and Guilds of Maintainers) will play a central role in the addition of fan-built ages.
Good news is that the game will be open to the world-all internationals will have access.
Here is a link to the relayers chat log:
Chogun's Chat Log Unsurprisingly there were a lot of "We are working on that"s but the plan is to start with the grass roots movement and build from there slowly.
And, of course, the ending has not yet been written
