just a small sum up of the situation : in october 2008

[sonic'son]

Hello everybody, with the sad news that we have, in french forum activity come down ...

some of us are meeting next weekend in toulouse... a french mysterium

so, i wanted to know what is the situation now ? (what's the story, what's the crack, or what the hell is going on... we say that no?

1) We began a good age but we are unmotive with the bad news; so the project is stopped ...

2) Is the guild of writers is still writing

3) Is the guild of writers have a contact with some of the cyan politics, in order to try to play uru again with or without them ?

4) Maybe its stupid but i think that a lot of people would be happy to help cyan staff as some "free/workers" not too much in game as a player, but as a cyan "free staff" ... did somepeople propose that ? im sure that some people have the good skills to do that .. ...


see you, good luck

Hello, sonic'son.

I hope you won't mind a reply from a maintainer. I'm sure some writers will respond too.

Ages are still being written and developed, and maintainers are still testing them. Just this month the Guild of Maintainers (GoMa) has been inspecting:

• a new version of Fens
• Tor'oolbah
• Sonavio
• Tsoidahl Sheegahtee
• Botan
• Kinnekulle

Andy Legate, Grand Master for Age Development at GoMa, has been updating Camp Bravo day and night time training ages. (I've been working on the journals for those ages in my newly refurbished private office in Uru:CC.) These are scheduled for release on the ULM later this week. Look out for details of a forthcoming competition based on Camp Bravo which will be open to all explorers.

A third Rapid Age Development contest is due to start on 1 November. The details are here: http://guildofwriters.com/wiki/RAD_November_2008

From mid October, people have reported emails from Chogon clarifying the use of Cyan assets, especially with regard to ages connected to the Cavern. See this thread: http://forum.guildofwriters.com/viewtopic.php?p=26364. As Whilyam wrote in that thread:

...This is certainly a good sign both for the fan ages in general and MORE's future in specific. It certainly seems, despite the recent news, that Cyan's collective mind is still somewhat on MORE...

For the last two questions, there have been several discussions on the MOUL forums about both those topics -- not just the Guild of Writers. Unfortunately, I'm getting an error message from there at the moment so can't post the urls for you.

Hope the Toulouse Mysterium goes well -- have fun!

And don't lose hope either. Quite a few of us are still working away in the background, preparing for when MORE finally becomes reality -- even if it is taking a bit longer than many of us had anticipated.
