Just now jumping in... Was up in the mountains for vacation and came back to find this enticing me to join.

I expect this to be the biggest drain on my iphone in the upcoming months. :]

Just as a quick warning - the main game itself doesn't work especially well on iphone. It's possible to play, but it's not easy.

I read '11' to be the time that the game was shutting down. Just my two cents.

Provided the game runs on UK time (which I'm fairly certain it does) then that's not correct. It shut down at roughly 1am UK time.

Gah. I reached a dead end on my ambition. Ran it to the end of the content. Sad And I'd just bought 500 candles, too. Pretty much wiped me out. Opportunity for player input there, I guess. Ah, Beta.

Given that there are four previous Cities and (unless I'm missing one) four dream sequences, I just started kicking around the idea that maybe the dreams allude to the demise of each previous City.

Death by Water could point to a stolen Atlantis, which I would think would be the First City. Burial of the Dead might be related to the Second City, the potentially Egypt-ish one, or it might be the Fire Sermon.

I got a card event about digging up Fourth City relics (that I clicked out of too quickly, dangit) which said something about the Fourth City being closer to Samarkand than Rome, and Samarkand's wiki page does talk about papermaking featuring heavily in Samarkand's history, so perhaps that's a better fit for The Fire Sermon.

That leaves "Is Someone There?" for the Third City, which had five wells and good weather, and which I'm thinking might have been Zadar.

But this is getting pretty wildly speculative, so I'll end it there. Very Happy

The Mysteries page has been updated, and it actually has a point now! There are quite a few questions on there, which you can submit answers to (at the price of an action)...

  • What was Ladybones Road called before the Fall?
  • What was Watchmaker's Hill called before the Fall?
  • What was Spite called before the Fall?
  • What was the Veilgarden called before the Fall?
  • In which continent was the Fourth City?
  • In which continent was the Third City?
  • In which continent was the Second City?
  • In which continent was the First City?
  • Who brought the tiger to the labyrinth?
  • Why are there no foxes in the city?
  • Where is Mr Eaten?
  • Why do the Masters of the Bazaar value echoes so?
  • Why are prisoners masked?
  • What price was paid for London?
  • Where do you go when the nightmares get too much?
  • How many people did Mister Sacks take at Christmas?
  • Who makes the Clay Men?
  • How many Masters are there?
  • 'Between stars?'


I imagine any one of us will never be able to answer them all, so let's get working together on some theories. I'm guessing there's also new content somewhere that will elucidate on these a little more than before, for example the ability to go back to New Newgate if your Suspicion rises to 5.

The only answer I know right now is that there are eleven masters that we know right now.

I think I am not getting into the twitter aspect of the game because I don't understand it really. Any tips?

On Twitter

There's a few moving parts to this:

1. Once a day, you can "echo a snippet" on Twitter to refresh your actions. This is located on the right-side rail. You can only get the refresh once a day, so don't bother twit-spamming people.

2. There are uh.. 11 Masters of the Bazaar that all have twitter accounts. They are a gabby bunch, and several of us interact / roleplay with them. Several of us have had mini-stories with the Masters (i.e, Lex got a shiny brass ring, I got a boytoy, etc). I have all of the Masters and the PM/meta accounts here:

http://twitter.com/diszaster/echobazaar-masters

3. Some of us have been "echo"ing a lot of twitter stuff because the creators keep putting in new content. Or, we want to brag about unlocking new storylets, etc. Even I admit this can get annoying, however, I've been using the "echo" function to keep notes to myself. Some of us are also comparing notes with each other about different stories/functions in the game.

I would say, in the interest of not annoying the heck out of your friends, that you keep the twit-spam to a minimum. And welcome aboard. Wink
