For instance, a thread I started a while ago concerning the ruins found in the Prime Roots, and some screenshots were shown in that thread. If we could meet in game with a number of people actually interested in the story, and share our experiences with "strange artifacts" - then I think it would go a great distance in two things. One, it would provide those non-forum goers a bit of access to the present story, and two it would give people with "interesting discoveries" an in game venue for distributing such knowledge.
And to make it just a tad more "fun", a few new refugees could always share their tales of woe when the Yubos killed them - and how they found vengeance on the mainland.
Another thing, this would be a great opportunity for those unaware of the history of Atys, to be made aware. A little story here, perhaps about the Matis Prince - and maybe a glimpse into the world of the Company of Loria as well.
It is my opinion that a great deal of people that choose Ryzom do so because of the world it is set in, and the possibilities of the future story. Why wait? Let's MAKE a story, and begin investigating the past NOW.
Anyway, I'd love to do this sometime - maybe even weekly for the grand explorers. I have a great deal of knowledge of the lore, I can share this (unobjectively
).
Or, we could have a representative of each race give a brief history of their race through their eyes. If it's a regular thing, and brief enough, we can have a different "perspective" each week.
If nobody likes or is willing to do this, I understand. It's a way to forget about the "real life" issues of patch this nerf that bugged mechanics and laggy gameplay - and focus on the reason a lot of us came here.
The world.
And, possibly a good chance to meet guilds that have seen and done what young refugees only imagine!
Oh yeah, gotta have it in the Lakelands. *nod*
