===Institutional regeneration=== Around [[2009 CE|2009]] - with rumors of a project to revive Uru called [[MORE]] - a change and restructuring took place, to create a new level of vitality not only in the Guild, but the community as well. Many of the remaining "First Ones" from previous years took a step away. After Marten and other Council members stepped down from their leadership positions, Lynnutte was elected as Grand Master, with Leonardo as Liaisons Chair and Narim as Affiliates Chair, among others.<ref>{{cite forum post|url=http://www.guildofmessengers.com/gome-contributors-institutional-regeneration/|author=Nev'yn|title=GoMe Contributors: Institutional Regeneration|forum=Guild of Messengers website 1.0|date=May 2012 (no archived copy available)}}</ref> But with MORE being delayed, activity slowed down again, with only Leonardo left to make Council decisions. Eventually, the Newspaper production itself was stopped leaving the Guild with only one basic service besides Rel.to, the News Feed managed by Szark. Then, in the days preceding February 10, [[2010 CE|2010]], rumors of things coming back to life began spreading. Andros came back to help recruiting new members. The Newspaper project was revamped and soon transformed in the Magazine with Theremin overseeing it. The double Guild Masters system was introduced, starting with Leonardo and Theremin. Meanwhile the Cavern Criers were also revived as a fully integrated part of the Guild. The only major distinction between Criers and Messengers was how often an individual member was seen within the Cavern, and their activities while there. The Criers would usually run a "circuit" of the [[Ae'gura plaza]] and the more populated [[neighborhood]]s to distribute KI-mails, operating as a 'postal service'. Messengers, on the other hand, would mostly only be present to assist with a specific project or event, or for social activities. In May of 2010 the first All Guilds Meeting and Fair was held. The Fair event was initially started by Marcus Wheeler, an enthusiast Maintainer, who was quickly supported by Leonardo who brought back to life the All Guilds Meeting. Explorers soon lost interest in the Fair, but the All Guilds Meeting still attracts a good crowd in Kirel every month to this day. At the end of their six month terms, Theremin was replaced by Lunanne as Guild Master, while Leonardo was reelected. Lunanne also became Chief-Editor of the Magazine, changing its name from ''Go!'' to ''The Cavern Post''. The Messengers activities became stable, and the Guild started to actually gain both respect and dignity in the community. In November [[2011 CE|2011]] Cyan announced that the [[CAVCON]], the fund tally that sustained [[Myst Online: Uru Live#Myst Online: Uru Live (again)|MOULa]] has been wrong for a while (2 instead of 4) and the actual funding situation was critical. Many discussions were started on forums on how to raise more funds. Ghaelen, of the Guild of Healers, contacted the Messengers to distribute a CAVCON informative KI-mail. Kaelis Ebonrai then came up with the idea of a big party: the CavCon Awareness Party. In just one week, Leonardo contacted all the high-profile [[D'niJ]]s about reserving several hours for their music shows during over 24-hours of celebrations. This event, the first organized by the Messengers, was a huge success and attracted explorers both new and old. With the help of the H'Uru group, which provided a Link [[Robot|Bot]] and special in-game "illusions", and the support of important D'niJs such as Ktahdn (Lord Chaos), Donahoo, Dichromus, and many other, the CAVCON was brought back to level 4. This party started a tradition of others such as the Anniversary Party from the Guild of Healers. In May [[2012 CE|2012]] Leonardo announced that he and Lunanne were resigning their positions as Guild Masters; after some discussion, Lyrositor and Doobes were eventually elected as their successors. Other notable Messengers of this era: Luna, White, Dekar, Alaedrain, Julie D, GreekGeek, Irissa, Natsaka, Antonfriel, Tanshin, Musica, Aidian, Allatwan, Capella, Rilo, Polgara, Silena, Kerah, LaughingPineapple, AaronAKAAtrus, AgeExplorer.
