Hmm... The question is a little vague...

As to "What Age will we start?" If it's not the cleft, it also rules out Tomahna and any D'ni locations (It's all on Earth.) I'd probably say most likely Gahreesen, as the KI is vastly important to the Uru story. It's either that or you start automatically in Relto...

If you interpret the question as I suppose you intended it, and make it "What LOCATION will we start?" It's either going to be Gahreesen again, for the above reason, or somewhere inside D'ni itself - Either the Shaft/Eder Tomahns, K'veer or Ae'gura itself.

Personally, I'd like to see more of the City opened, rather than a carbon-copy Neighbourhood and Ae'gura. And the ability to retrace Atrus' steps from Cleft to D'ni, and the path taken on his first Book-hunt.

But, that's just me.

I believe that we will start in a neighborhood. There we can find a linking-book to Gahreesen or perhaps we will find a KI-dispenser in a room in the hood (as a new feature in the new Uru-Live). So we can immediatly start with exploring and chatting and meeting friends.

The end of Revelation happens in Tomahna, and the end of End of Ages (depending wether you did it right or not) ends in the destroyed Myst Island (bad ending), or Releeshahn (good ending). I personally hope we start on that balcony in Releeshahn. There could be only one person, so it's not crowded, and it is a quite familiar location (it was so dramatic that it burned it's way into our skulls).

I doubt we'd be starting in Releeshan.

I've heard snippets that Cyan would like us to explore Releeshan, but that was not in the foreseeable future.

Besides, Yeesha only arrived there at the end of End of Ages - and if Uru Live remains true to the previous Uru themes, Yeesha will be our guiding force again.

If it DID start in Releeshan, and this was the best kept secret in Cyan history, then I imagine it would be the balcony, but probably just to see someone, get a bit of a speech, and an instant Link - like the start of Riven and Exile (Near enough).

Otherwise, we'd probably start in an area like Riltagamin - a closed off area where one can practice moveing, learn the basic aim to the game, and so on. In Myst fashion, of course.
