Hi everyone,

now that you are a proud member of the DI shard (DI), you want to play the game and what is everyone's reference or maybe 95% of us : MOULa.

I won't get you all the details here it would be too long and not interesting : I will keep it as clear and simple as I can possibly do (that will be hard :lol: )

Entry point :

TPoTS Journey (BIG DIFFERENCES read carefully) :

Sparklies :

That’s it with the major differences between the 2 versions. There are other differences that I can think of but there are not major issues and you won’t maybe never notice them so no point to tell you at this time.

Have a nice time on DI Shard.

Thanks a lot for writing this up, Annabelle! I hope it will be helpful for those players that joined only during MOUL[a].

One note though: The way you are supposed to get the Yeesha pages in the Cleft is to finish the first journey, and get your own Cleft :D
It might also be worth noting that while Minkata and Jalak are instances, the Pods are global ages and shared for everyone.

See : the pods difference, that is something I didnt know. There is too many versions to be able to know everything

MOULa is different from URU : CC which is different from URU : CC running with the Drizzle hack which is different from a shard like DI running UU which is different from UU running as standalone which is different from URU : ABM.

I don't have 7 installs of the same game on my PC, I just have 7 different games :lol:

BTW, Diafero, I know that we should be good explorers and do all the Hand's Journey first before going back to D'ni-Ritalgamin...but that is so much fun to break rules once in a while and I was in real hurry, August 31st, no time to waste to try getting the August's Sparkly which was to be found in ******* (censored by Annabelle :lol: ).

Annabelle is thinking looking at the blue sky through the window of her office : "If only the Shard admin would enable the 12 sparklies at the same time, that would be SOOO awesome!!!" :lol: :lol:

Indeed, I already have a hard time keeping the differences between standard CC, CC+Drizzle+Offline KI and MOUL in my head. Which is why I pointed out another difference people might be interested in :)
The DI installation should however be very, very similar to a CC+Drizzle+Offline KI.

If only the Shard admin would enable the 12 sparklies at the same time, that would be SOOO awesome!!!
I don't want to spoil you the fun of having something new to look for each month :)
It's a bit like flymode... sometimes it's good to have it, but sometimes it's also good not to have it.

I made this posting a sticky because I expect many users not to have used an Alcugs Shard before... Annabelle, would you mind if I added more items occurring to your first post?

Oh no please go ahead...I'm glad to have it stick now. Would be great to have "How to cheat by Annabelle" sticks as well :lol: Kidding ;)

Have you tried using the Camp Bravo linking book as a workaround for the Cleft pages?

Okay,I've not finished POTS before,so I don't know the solutions of the puzzles.
I went to Ahnonay and noticed that the crabs are gone.I also see something's up with them from the post above.
Also,I recall that there was a door behind the large sphere you could roll up in Watcher's Sanctuary.I'm not sure but I remember trying to get over that sphere desperately.

Can somebody explain what's going on without spoiling?
Thanks

I disabled the Quabs as they don't work properly with several people in that age.
The rest should work as expected?
