So Uru is now an episodic game, with all the storyline advancements and content releases occurring in one week every month. This month&#8217;s episode (the first episode ever) was called &#8220;Scars&#8221;, and ran from the 19th to the 24th or 25th. There&#8217;s some disagreement about when exactly the episode ended, because there were new things discovered on the 25th and 26th, but they might have been released on the 24th.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway the episode was very dramatic. It started off with a collapse in the cavern, which trapped two teenage girls, one being the daughter of Michael Engberg, a member of the DRC. The other girl was immediately killed. After some time, it was discovered that a Bahro was in the collapse with Wheely Engberg. The excavation continued.<\/p>\n<p>On the 22nd, Wheely Engberg was killed by the Bahro. It was reported to have screamed &#8220;Noloben&#8221; (an age from Myst V on which the Bahro were tortured and experimented on), and then brutally murdered her.<\/p>\n<p>On the same day, Douglas Sharper (another member of the DRC, who had been on a hunting expedition in Negilahn to try and find the predator killing all the animals) returned, and told a wild tale of a Bahro civil war he had witnessed. There were many Bahro who tried to kill him, and many who protected him, but the battle was brutal.<\/p>\n<p>On the 23rd, Michael Engberg was seen at the memorial site, then linked to the Great Shaft and disappeared. He is still MIA.<\/p>\n<p>On the 24th, the DRC decided that despite all the tragedy that week, they would go ahead with the planned release of Minkata, a new age. This cheered up the whole community a lot, as can be seen by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uruobsession.com\/forum\/index.php?act=ST&#038;f=111&#038;t=30463&#038;s=9ad1a571765a4844722623e599f8b651\">this poll<\/a>. The age is a huge desert age with a bunch of tiny caves in the ground. The goal of the age is to find all 5 caves and touch the stones in them. Touching a stone puts the entire desert into night, and touching it again brings it back to day. The age has a lot of new music, which is very awesome.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s basically all that happened during Episode 1 of Uru. If they continue to be like this, Uru will definitely become much more popular in no time. This episode brought it back up to #1 on Gametap again, where it still is today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post is way, way, way late, but I&#8217;m going to post it nonetheless.
