Editing D'ni Restoration Council (section)

=== 2004 – 2006 CE ===
In February 2004, UbiSoft Entertainment terminated its funding for the DRC's efforts, effectively forcing the organization to shut down. Later that year, Victor Laxman began to allow small groups of explorers back into the Cavern on an "at-your-own-risk" basis, and no plans were announced to continue the restoration.

In late 2005, Victor Laxman returned again, gathering his former colleagues on the DRC's council (minus Dr. Watson) to begin tentative work to resume the restoration effort. Larger numbers of explorers were invited to visit the Cavern, and over the next year, the DRC held several Town Hall meetings with explorers to discuss what the future might hold.

This period marks the February 2004 termination of the Uru Live: Prologue beta test by UbiSoft, and the creation of [[Untìl Uru]] by Cyan Worlds later that year. It also marks the creation of the D'mala Shard in Untìl Uru, a benchmark platform created by Cyan to show Turner Broadcasting that Uru was still a viable product with considerable interest and a sizable community. This effort ultimately culminated in Turner's funding of [[Myst Online: Uru Live]] as a GameTap exclusive product.
