I think a lot of us will be sitting back and waiting. Shards is not an option for many of us. I may play around with it - if I get to a point where I can get another computer for it - just so I can understand it. But it won't be the same.
I am happy about it though, because it means the core group who can use and enjoy the shards will keep the game alive in some form while Cyan deals with the issues they have to. And it's a sure sign that Cyan will turn their attention to making the game continue and grow in the future. I'm more than willing to wait.
(Although, I must admit. I've been dying to get back into the cavern. Especially lately with all the mess I've been dealing with. The cavern was such a tremendous stress relief that cannot be found elsewhere.)
