It began in March with the five explorers ([[Rico]], [[Blastercalm]], [[Dr. Greer]], [[IMForeman]], and [[Rivenchan]]) who are listed as [[Premier Explorers]] in the Uru credits. It was a small group, but distributed across multiple continents. Throughout 2002 and 2003, additional testers were added. However, Choru remained relatively small. In the context of Uru's storyline, the Choru testers were referred to as ''Authorized Explorers''; at the time of Uru's launch, there were only eighty-three participants on the ''Authorized Explorer'' forums.

The term ''Choru'', alongside ''Ubiru'', was coined by ''75th Trombone'' in response to the then-impending Ubiru launch. Between March and May, Choru's former website stated "Choru we'll miss you".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.cyanworlds.com:80/|title=Cyan Worlds News|website=Cyan Worlds website|access-date=November 29, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040523164322/http://www2.cyanworlds.com:80/|archive-date=May 23, 2004.
