Editing Myst Online Episodes (section)

== Structure ==
Episodes begin at a publicly announced date and continue for approximately a week. The majority of content (new [[Ages]], puzzles, etc.) is released during the episode week. The official characters primarily make appearances during episodes, furthering the story line of game and interacting with explorers.

Outside of the episode week, the game continues to be available as normal. However, Cyan will be focusing on preparing for the next episode. It is unknown whether any official characters will make an appearances in these interim periods.

The announcement for ''[[Deception]]'' hinted at a larger, seasonal structure, claiming that the episode "ties in with a season finale".

Some content (such as the monthly [[Calendar spark|sparkle]]) will become available outside of an episode.

===Numbering===
The numbering for the episodes begins at five. ''[[Scars]]'' is referred to as the fifth episode, even though there haven't been any episodes before, and there (likely) won't be prequels.

The discrepancy is due to the fact that Scars coincided with Live version 5, the fifth major release since the launch of Myst Online: Uru Live. While a source of confusion, it allows for the major version and episode number to be consistent in the future.
