The instance you get to from the book is exactly the same age as the one from Relto. There is no difference in loading time, just some SDL settings. In the Deep Ilsnad Shard, not even this applies - you actually arrive in your own Gahreesen.

OK, I guess that it creates a special instance in MO:UL, or maybe a Bevin instance. But it's not global.

Yes, that's true - the blockers are set so that you can not play the actual age. The engine however still loads all the data, you just can not reach it.

I wonder what triggers the different name on the KI?

...? The different Gahreesens have different names in MOUL?

At any rate, the name is read from per-instance data in the vault, so it can easily differ between instances.

It makes sense in MOUL (a bit) where you can not go to Gahreesen immediately.

First, how is that possible?

I don't want to spoil the fun of searching for that way, but here's a hint: Nexus is not the only way of getting to Seret.

Yes, it makes since in MOUL, but, (at least on my connection) it takes a LONG time to get to Gahreesen. The book makes since, as it leads to a instance made just for getting the KI (the KI refers to it as Gahreesen').

Well, it does in MO:UL.

What exactly are you replying to here? As I said above, loading the Gahreesen from the hood takes as long to load as the one from Relto. It's the same age. Just different settings.
There are just 3 places available in the book room, and removing one of them to offer an alternative way to Gahreesen that takes longer than the other one would not be a good idea, in my eyes. Eder Delin/Tsogal would get completely unavailable, and the GZ would only be available through Teledahn->spyroom->Phil's Relto->Kirel.

This post was about the Gahreesen names.

Also, the Great Zero book shouldn't be there in the first place.

Yes, I know that, every IC-player cries when seeing it... but it was Cyan who did it, we just copied that from MOUL . I saw so better way of getting access to GZ... well, it could be added to Nexus, but that one is already way too crowded, IMHO.

Speaking of way too crowded, I scanned my KI at the pedestal in Bevin, and now I have a duplicate link in City Locations.
