August 24^th, 2001 (12:00am) - The moment of suspense is upon us.

On Monday, August 27, the second full episode of Majestic, "Control", will
become available to those whom have completed Episode One. As the
experience unfolds players will begin to learn the extent of the conspiracy
that they have become embroiled in and the degree to which it impacts the
population.

With the launch of Episode 2, comes not only the continuation of the story
but an increase in depth as the difficulty and story curve is ramped. New
puzzles and the expanding story arc are only one half of the new features
that are being introduced with Episode 2. In response to feedback from the
community, a whole new layer to the experience is being introduced with this
episode called the Revelation Puzzles.

These more complex challenges were added to enhance the user experience and
ultimately lead to more information about the conspiracies that are at the
heart of Majestic. Solving the Revelations, while not critical to
progressing the storyline of the game, does provides the player with a
heightened level of involvement and understanding as emailed clues require
them to delve deep beyond with only the Majestic search engine as their
guide. Cracking these puzzles will be difficult, but once solved, the player
will open doors to the past, which in turn may provide them with a glimpse
into the future.

One such puzzle will go so far as to send the player to the outside world
to obtain information. In another task, a player may only be given a
particular set of clues, forcing them to interact with other players in a
sharing of knowledge and cooperation.

Revelation puzzles will also soon be added to Episode 1 and available to
players who are just beginning their Majestic experience. Sign up for
