Just a few questions/comments:
1. Ooga Booga Land is frozen (please, don't say it's winter )
2. Why is the oracle from KQ3 dead?
3. What is Edgar doing in Lewdor?
4. Did Valenice have a nervous breakdown?
5. When Graham rescues Valenice in KQ2, she is wearing light blue, in The Making Of she is wearing green.

(Everyone, I'm not giving out spoilers, I'm just assuming )
[spoiler]
From these comments we can assume:
a-There was a storm (Salading said so), that's why Ooga Booga Land was frozen
b-The oracle was slain by someone/thing magical (notice the symbols)
c-They were going to see Derek Karlavaegen
d-Valenice has many repressed memories, something triggered a breakdown and she remembers what happened in her youth.
e-Hagatha provided a change of clothes

The Oracle is dead? Where? I must've missed that clip!

[Deloria]

About half way through The Making Of TSL. Also, Happy Birthday King Alexander And Princess Rosella! had been replaced with another banner, but I can't make out the words, any help?

Happy 21st Birthday Alexander and Rosella

[Deloria]

Thanks. Just over a year since KQ7, huh?

[Petter Holmberg]

This family has been through a pretty traumatic quarter of a century, no?

[dark-daventry]

Dramatic is an understatement! Or do I have no idea what your talking about? Is it a joke only the team members would know?

[Yonkey]

lol, it's not something only team members would know.  Pretty much everything bad that could ever happen to Graham and his family happened.   Life doesn't get any easier for them in TSL either; in fact, far from it!

[dark-daventry]

YAY! You just gave a small spoiler! Yay! But you still can't resist the  ! You and your suffers! (I am wondering how to get that and the other emoticons to my new forum. Where did you get these?)

Rosella's great at making smilies, you might try her.

Got a time index? If you have, please PM it to me, I don't normally check this section of the forum.
I have to say at the end of the KQIX-trailer the image was clearer than its equivalent in the TSL-trailer.
The making of-video was great!

Actually, it's right at the end.  Half way through there is a shot of the thrones of the winged ones empty.

Wow, am I late! The project is re-opened, YES!!!!!!!!! Love the articles.

Although with the game's title change is there a possibility that KQ9 will be released by VUE?

Although with the game's title change is there a possibility that KQ9 will be released by VUE?

The GameSpy article about the resurrection of the project included the following:

The game can no longer be called "King's Quest" and must be billed as being "inspired by world of King's Quest," and the company reserves the right to bring the game in-house if they feel there are commercial possibilities for it, but other than that, the team of dedicated fans had done the impossible -- convinced a corporation to allow a group of outsiders to get their hands on their IP.

The meaning of this could be interpreted in a few different ways, but I thought I'd alert you to it anyway.

TSL trailer? I never learned of such a thing! Is it brand new, or is it the same thing with the new title? And where do I find a picture of the Winged One's thrones empty? (I'm really out of the loop!)

[Deloria]

The trailer can be found on the first page of this thread.
The making of video can be found here.

EDIT: Updated link.

GREAT ARTICLE!!! I actually felt goosebumps when reading about the Black Cloak and Silver Cloak Societies. If I could I would wrap any loose ends myself.
