I have a FCAL for working with the Intangibles project, I also applied for one about 5 years ago when I started building for Uru CC. Anyway, we should probably keep this on topic.

The former is fine license-wise because it is based on standard MOULa and the additions are purely fan-made, but the latter uses... something else, which is technically not legal. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the "other" kind is legal, then why are we not allowed to discuss it here?) I'd say, there's no need to bite our tongues, dgelessus and all lol ... All above mentioned shards are completely based on MOULa, be it as a MOSS or a Dirtsand server and the CWE client for us, if I understand that correctly ... What is not welcomed or even not allowed to be discussed here are just the so called hacks of the offline versions of Uru and resp. tools, like D...... and the O......KI etc., which are used to test the fan ages, which is not yet possible on MOULa based servers ... Why it is not welcomed here to talk shard based stuff is obvious, this would just produce too much clutter and confusion for the mods and esp. new explorers on the MOULa shard ... Those shards have their own forums for all those wanting to have more information on the installation of them or how to even write ages etc. ... Adam of the GoW e.g., who owns and provides the server for the Gehn shard, would not be very happy if we'd go and talk MOULa stuff on the GoW forums ... everyone gets the point here lol ... but we can mention the shards and provide links for further information if it'd serve in any way like in this case or in case of special events or so ... Ok, I hope and believe that clears that a bit and makes life maybe more easy here (and keeps our tongues healthy for a good laugh and all the cookies and stuff lol) ... Besides: I almost forgot the one all this information is provided for ... Urobulus, how was your first day and adventure (again) in the cavern? Did you even find time to go and explore? ... _________________ MO:ULa is - Minkata

I jumped in real quick this morning (and the other day I think?) but didn't go further than the Neighborhood and obtaining my KI... Didn't see anyone in the hood but saw recent visitors on the imager. I will put more time into it soon; wife and I are still putting more time together on Assassin's Creed and Dragon Age

When you return to your Relto (after having visited the Nexus), you'll find a new book on the shelf: a yellow book with a green star on it. That's your Nexus book. _________________ New to Uru?

WAIT, WHAT? You mean, the fact that I have never seen another player in the game is that I have been visiting a private instance of the central area without even realizing it? Alright, what is the proper way to reach the shared public space? Yeah, this actually happened to me.... On my third or fourth day visiting the cavern I encountered someone named The Stargazer in a Hood classroom who took me to Eder Delin, and then her Kemo. Honestly, I was surprised to meet another explorer in the game. I assumed Uru was more like Myst and Riven with just solo play. Not understanding instancing, I spent the next few months just exploring on my own. My computer then died early in the summer, and I didn't get around to redownloading the game until late august or early september. Wasn't really involved in the community much during this point, although I was mainly surveying the city working on a project for the GoC on a welcome map/brochure. This was how I met Prof. Almaron becoming part of DMoA, and eventually the GoMe team after attending the Cavcon party by joining the Cavern Criers. Anys, long story short...These things happen, sadly. Welcome to the community, keybounce! I hope you meet some great people here. Oh, and to the Stargazer...I don't know if you recall meeting me back then...but, wherever you may be, I wish you well. _________________ KI# 00071084 | "The truth speaks for itself, I am just the messenger." -Lyta Alexander (Note: Any comments or opinions, taken whole or in part, are mine and do not reflect the stance of GoMe.)

How does accessing the public / shared areas work (probably more important), and 3. How do I go to the shared public space from my starting private relto?

How does accessing the public / shared areas work (probably more important), and 3. How do I go to the shared public space from my starting private relto? OOOkkay.. here we go. In that shack in your Relto, is a bookshelf, with several books... some of the books are already on the shelf, some of them only appeared after you found a book somewhere and used it once... MOST of those books link to your 'private instances', versions of the Ages that are for your personal use as a player, and they keep YOUR progress only. A few of them are "neighborhood instances" or "hood instances" --- versions that can only be accessed from your hood. I don't think any of the books on the shelf lead to PUBLIC instances. The first book on the shelf has a blue cover with a gold design. This book is your 'neighborhood' book; there may be only one page, or several pages that take you places in your hood. Second book on your shelf will be the 'Nexus' book-- yellow cover, with a green steampunky 'gear' logo on it. This takes you to your personal Nexus.. everybody has their own nexus--- this is known as a 'personal' instance. Far as I know, the only way to get to the public city, is from your nexus... When you go to your nexus, there's a place to put your hand/ki in, and a screen pops up with 4 choices on the left: City Locations/ Private Links/ Public Links/ Personal Links. *The "city locations" are the PUBLIC city. Here's where the gang is!!!! *The private links? Presently I have NO private links in my nexus; I think these are links to other explorers' Ages--- places where you can go, because an explorer sent you an invite via Ki mail, to let you in. *The Public links are all OTHER neighborhoods; yours is there somewhere, unless its private. *The Personal links are the Ages you have been trying to solve. These are your "personal instances". Anybody can go in the public instances.. they are public, and found on everybody's nexus. Anybody can go in the hoods that are on the public links, too--- if they are on the list they've been made public. Only YOU can go into your Relto--- unless you invite someone personally, by actually standing next to them and sharing your book with them. Only you can go in your personal ages (personal instance), unless you invite someone else on a person-to-person basis. i.e. send them an 'invite' or share your Relto book. Here's where it gets confusing.. IF you want to help someone with their personal Age, you have to START from their Relto and use the books on their shelf. But, once you are helping someone-- long as you keep linking from one personal age to another personal age, you will still be in that other player's personal instance. THIRD book on your shelf is a bit confusing, too... It's a brown cover, you can see a 'fence' style shape that appears in the city, there's a circle with a stylized handprint on a glowy purple circle.. this is the City book. Lots of pages that link to spots in the City---- BUT, it doesn't take you to the PUBLIC city.. the locations in this book are all 'hood' instances of the city.... a version of the city that is only accessible from your neighborhood or your Relto. I have almost NEVER seen any of my neighbors online, in 3 years of playing this game, so it's likely your hood instance of the city will be empty. But... if you use books in the HOOD-- those usually take you to a hood instance. Like the garden Age-- each hood has a garden, and anyone in that hood using that same book, will go to that same garden. and be there together. As I said.. far as I know, the Nexus is the only way into the public instance of the city. Hope that helps. _________________

If not, there's a video link in my signature which will probably be of more use to you. Yes, it's a bit dated (circa 2006), but everything - except the GameTap reference - is still relevant.

I don't feel this to be off-topic btw, korovev, as it is very important for the aliveness and functioning of the community (which is part of this topic) to have this cleared, and to be open to all versions/shards of Uru/Moul when even Cyan opened the way already ... So, yeah, great find lol ... _________________ MO:ULa is - Minkata

This is a niche game where the community needs to be as close as possible. Also, even despite this, I loathe instancing in MMOs. ESO did this and it was one of the main reasons it failed. You couldn't quest with people because the megaserver kept instancing players. Give me a big open world sandbox as a living breathing world where people can hang out, interact and do stuff and you'll have a successful mmo. If you want examples of what the game should be like (as Cyan initially intended and hopefully will be in a few months) then check out Chloe Rhodes DIRT blog here Read about the instancing. She just completed merging every city area into the public city. This means when you go to Tokotah Rooftop or Sharper's Office you'll see other players in chat who are down below (you might even see them from afar). Also the game beginning has been fixed by having a public Cleft. No more Relto confusion or single player Cleft like in Prologue. From there there will be two options, going down the tunnels to the city or going to Relto. The tunnels will also be public I think. Uru had a lot of issues when it came to gameplay balancing. Hopefully we can fix these with new updates since the game is open source.

I was wondering the same thing as the original poster, but since I'm only beginning, and have no idea what I'm doing, I'm not worried about the place being a 'ghost town' - I'd be more worried if the whole thing would be taken offline before i'm able to finish parts of it, or before even beginning to understand what I am doing at all :) _________________ ::::::: I like to sit inside the fireplace :::::::
