The next Myst Online: Uru Live (MOUL) Episode is scheduled for early September. It's titled "Deception," which of course gets the speculative wheels turning.

Here's the official information:

Ahhhh, so there will be a season finale.

Are we going to war? or not?

Thanks Becky

I wonder...will we ever have anymore of the ''Big'' Ages like those in CC....BUT not those in cc? I will be looking forward to next episode, but have to admit not very thrilled with Jalek...or Pods. I am saving Minkata..maybe until WINTER! I really have been enjoying MOUL...has been awful nice to have the help and was fun getting help w/the new Eders!..but i sure do miss having a nice big Age to explore(don't miss the jumping though!). My son and his friend joined last week and i got to join them online and that was great fun! They already had figured out how to share books and ages...and although they were new..they helped me by sharing info and showing me. It was a nice 'visit'. I am pretty much a 'shut-in' so i enjoyed being able to spend the time w/them...almost like a real physical visit! However, i know, once they finish the Uru prime they are going to want to have more and i don't think they'll stay on with what has been released so far (exception..Ercana..they have not played CC so Ercana and Ahnnonay(sp?) will be new to them)..
It is nice to chat with other 'boomers and friends when they're in MOUL-no doubt of that!-but what i really hoped for(for the $$'s) was more large NEW ages to explore. But..maybe we'll have some yet! ( i never did get to finish Ahnnonay in CC..just can't get to that tower..even got it out again last week and tried..whew..still can't jump out where i need to be to get to that tower island!!! grrrrr). If we do get Ahnonay it will be nice though to have help getting to that darn tower!!!hahaha.. I know has been a lot of hard work for CYAN and know money, labor, and time are always an issue..so i DO appreciate what they have done(except Jalek..pfuii)..just had hope after all this time (since CC)for some more large ages..AGES first, politics second!

I sincerely hope they will be working on new ages and new storyline for us in the coming season (I am so sure they will!!!!) Gamenut, it took me forever to get it but I was finally able to swim to that danged tower

I would just love a new Myst game in a box instead of online!

Dudemom!!! Thanks for the spoiler!! I will try it...i swear that crab is laughing at me! Boy i sure hope Cyan will come out w/some new BIG ages!..Kaki...the one advantage to this being online is the help you can get ...(and, of course, the chat w/Boomers!)..i got to help my son and his roommate w/Eder Gira and Kemo and that was fun! And i have to say...having help w/that Bucket jump(teledahn) and Power room (gahreesen)made game much more enjoyable. Actually most of the first part is on cd/dvd...Myst,Uru: Complete Chronicles..includes: Teledahn, Gahreesen, Kadish, Eder Gira/Kemo, Bevin,City, E'rcana & Ahnonay(sp?)...no people, no Pods, no Minkata, no group Eders,nothing else added. I had this, and to tell the truth i like the online better insofar as being able to call on someone to help and if also feel in the mood to chat can do that as well!...BUT am disappointed a bit in online as no Big Ages. 'Course i am an exploring and puzzle nut...so would even like Ages bigger than the first ones! ahhaha....
Guys..i would still like to know how to help someone at the end of Gahreesen get to that door AND how someone can get help getting markers. We have a boomer who is having a real hard time w/those markers...i don't feel qualified to help her by myself.

You are welcome, gamenut! I had to look at many a walkthrough to figure that out and it has been one of the solutions that has stuck in my head over the years - that one and how to jump to the rock in Eder Kemo to get the Relto page! I need to load up the games again and replay to refresh my memory - besides they are such good games I enjoy playing them over again.

For hints to the markers check out the Guild of Greeters site:

or for the really big hint.....maps of all of the marker locations......

Whenever you need help and there is no one online you know, stop in to the Guild of Greeters Hood and someone there will certainly help you - that is what they are for!

I have already gone to both of the above links and neither one can help me. I'm not asking for help because I have no idea where I found any of the markers that I did find. I just stumbled across them willy-nilly, never did know where I was was. I did have help finding some but again I have no idea where I was. I have several balconies in my link books, I think. In any case, my interest in finding the markers isn't very great any more. I think most of my curiosity about MOUL has already been satisfied. I was very curious how MMO games played but never wanted to go to the RPG ones. Although my interest in MOUL is going down, my interest in GameTap is going up as I'm checking out some of the other games since I still have 9 months to go. At present I'm lost in King's Quest 5: Abscence Makes the Heart Go Yonder world. I played it when it first came out so it is bringing back lots and lots of memories! One of which is that I didn't remember how easy it is to get killed in the game!

I am sure no expert at this game Sierramindy...but i will be more than glad to help you hunt those darn markers!

Thanks a million, gamenut, but I am going to wait until after the mob scenes over Deception sneaking by are over. In the meantime my heart is going yonder with King Graham in KQ5.

Sierramindy -- you can start each marker game from scratch if you want just by selecting it again in the marker game machine. It erases previous progress on that particular marker game, and then you can use the walkthrough or map to find each marker.

That's great that you're enjoying King Graham's company!

Thanks, Becky! I was going to add that too. When I first started the markers, I just checked them off the map as I found them and made notes on there as well as to where I was at and that way I learned my way around at the same time.

It will be frantic during episode week, but you can always go to your own city instance in your neighborhood (just click on the Bahro Stone in the book room) that will take you to an unoccupied city instance. Your markers will be there as well and you won't have crowds to contend with. Invite a few friends and you can have a marker hunting party!

I am gearing up for episode week. I will be Relaying as will Boomer Bob - he is one of our newest Relayers. He has done some practice runs and will do a great job episode week! One note on that...if you see us in our Relayer avies (mine is [Relayer]DMom_2000) and you have me on your buddy list please put me on ignore for the week. I am usually an "Action" Relayer and end up right at the action with the DRC and have to send my transmissions to the other Relayers for distribution to the subscription neighborhoods and subscription buddy list. If my Relayer avie is on your buddy list and you use that list to talk to your other buddies then I get that chat as well as the Age Player chat and it is really difficult to get what the DRC are saying and the questions being asked because the chat usually scrolls really fast and if you add the buddy list chat, well, you know.......lol...It makes it REALLY hard!

I will try to say hi if I see you in the city, but if I don't answer, I am either Relaying or setting up to get to a Relay. We stay pretty busy during episode week. It can be hard but it is a LOT of fun as well and the Relayers are a great group to work with!

Anyone interested in becoming a Relayer please sign up at www.relayercorps.org We are looking for people who can give us at least three days out of an episode week. Typing like lightning helps, we can teach you how to Link like a Bahro!

Interesting, Dudemom! I will choose to ignore you if I can.

Dudemom! will try to remember you're 'working'..! thanks for all your hard work! P.s.....do we need to send you some Iced tea or Luna Bars, or cheeseburgers?! Hahhaaaa.....

Iced tea will be nice but I will need a straw so I can sip while I work, because I will probably type my fingers off this episode, I suspect! A corned beef sandwich from the neighbor deli also won't come amiss midweek!

If you want to put someone on ignore you can type /ignore KI# and I believe you can open your KI and click on a name and see ignore to the left with a little arrow. Just click on that arrow and it puts them on ignore...to take it off, just type /unignore KI# (My Relayer avie for next week KI # is 7069940)
