On April 20 MOULa got another big update, with lots of interesting additions! A full list is available at the bottom of this post.
A new start choice
New avatars are now given a choice on the starting experience: either in the Cleft (as first experienced in Uru: ABM), aimed at new explorers not familiar with the setting and/or the mechanics; or straight in Relto, aimed at returning players and those who want immediate access to public areas. The Cleft will still be available in the latter case.
The Gahreesen Wall
The Wall is a competitive game in the final area of Gahreesen. While it has been available for years on a few shards like The Open Cave and Deep Island, it never did on MOULa – until now! In this implementation, the Wall features audio cues, and spectators can follow the contestants on monitors in the conference rooms.
For more info on the Wall and how to set up a match, there is a journal in one of the conference room, or you can check the dedicated Guild of Archivists’ wiki page.
A new Age
As revealed in a recent AGM, the new Age of Elonin, by Dulcamara and Ametist, will be unveiled on Friday, April 29 at 13:00 KIT in Chiso Preniv, where the new book will be made available.
On a separate note, the Nexus terminal in the Ae’gura Guild of Messengers’ Pub is now active, and can be used to add it to your list of Cavern Locations.
Subtitles
All in-game dialogue is now subtitled (in the chat area). Subtitles will be on by default, but can be turned off in F4 > Audio Settings.
A note on bugs
When an update, especially one as large as this one, hits MOULa it is almost inevitable that unexpected bugs will show up; for all the testing that can be done, Minkata never sees as many concurrent players as the official server, and not all issues can be catched. No addition from Cyan is to be expected for the foreseeable future, apart from server updates, so all improvements and additions will come from fan developers, who dedicate their limited free time to at least try to let MOULa be the best it could potentially be.
So the best way to deal with bugs is to have patience and report them, mentioning where you were and what you were doing, be it on Cyan’s Discord, OpenUru’s Discord or OpenUru forums.
If you fancy contributing your work and/or helping with bug fixing, those places are also excellent starting points to be part of the Fourth Restoration 🙂
