Info on the Lodestone!

[gifthorse]

Just trolling. People are so used to MMO these days that are like fighting games that there's no real need for story and lore, so when an MMO actually does it, it's a "bad thing". State of MMORPGs 2011.

I didn't say lore was irrelevant, Im just saying that the presentation of the lore, when presented on a website, is contextually inappropriate. This is a video-game first and foremost, so it stands to reason that the game exist primarily on its own merits. Which is to say that it ought to exist without support from a third party source (official website, for example).

I acknowledge that it is SE's style to be elaborate and verbose on their websites, but perhaps in the future they should save that for the game world and take a more clinical approach for the website.

We spend our whole time trying to see behind the literary facade they spin for us to see what the actual 'content' is that eventually the artistic flare that might otherwise be appreciated just becomes an additional hassle.

People wanted an official site and forums for transparency, not to be lead around yet again.
