Maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but... I was curious if anyone considered the possiblility that Rand Miller might be a frequent explorer in Uru. In congnito, of course! Has anyone ever asked him in a panel or other forum if he participated in the previous beta test disguised as a common fan?

Personally, I think the probability is pretty high. And certainly at least a few Cyan employees will be playing, both as characters and as fellow explorers, (those not slaving away producing new content, that is .

I know if I were Rand I wouldn't pass up the chance to mingle with us live online, maybe get to know a few on a "one-explore-to-another" basis rather than on a "celebrity-to-fan" basis.

And it would give explorers a little extra incentive to be polite and respectful of our fellow travelers (not that I needed a reason beyond common curtesy. ) Never know when the person you're giving attitude to is the big guy himself.

I'd be surprised if he didn't pop into the cavern at least daily. It was probably, (and may still be, on D'mala), part of his morning routine.

Rand, on a yellow legal pad, wrote:

Morning Routine
1. Take a shower.
2. Get dressed.
3. Eat breakfast with family.
4. Remember to tell wife how nice she looks today.
5. Drive to work.
6. Feed the penguins.
7. Make business calls.
8. Hang out in cavern as D'nar, D'ni sleuth.
10. Pay bills.

I saw him once during beta, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Moshiach! Or acting like it, anyway. You never know indeed.

I definitely think Rand explores the cavern with us. I'd be surprised otherwise.

Rand has a Mac at home, I believe many Cyanist do own Mac's rather than PC's (oh the irony!) We might see them during work time but I wouldn't hold out to much hope

Well, it's a very nice chin. ^_^

As interested as Rand is in his fans and their opinions, I'm sure he and other Cyan employees will be incognito all over Uru Live asking people questions!

I wouldn't be surprised. I saw him two or three times when D'mala opened. In fact, D'mala was practically crawling with them! I saw Moke, JStaub, TLarkin...people have claimed to have seen some "greydragon" flying around, but I don't believe them.
