THANK YOU, FERN!

Yeah I've been lurking it regularly but don't often post. Usually because you guys end up going waaay deeper than my mind can think about without going asplodey. That and with pretty much everything in "CG Midlander" it's hard to sort and find the particular topic I want to know about, especially when 80% of the thread is no longer about the Derplander... hopefully now that we have our Lore forums it can all be sorted out much more nicely into individual threads!

As much as I am a lurker, I do care though, with my intense interest of the Eorzean language. I also loved the history lessons from Professor Erik and the Miner's Guild quests. I sometimes wonder how many people actually got the "Times New Sil'dihn" joke in one of my font release threads >.> (and who here is pumped to explore the Sil'dih excavation site shown in the recent trailers?????)

I'm the same. I've been following the CG Midlander thread, but haven't said much since the focus has mostly been on Ul'dah and Lominsa. I've only played through Gridania, so I didn't have much I could say.

Made of win!

Lurker here too - Vilhem pointed out the CG Midlander thread to me- took me two weeks to read it all while I was at work. Loved every minute of it!

I fear I do not know enough to be a contributing poster of the lore forums, but I do indeed enjoy Lore and the discussions sprung from it. I have a "secret" mancrush on Fernehalwes to prove it.

I am especially fond of names, nomenclature, onomatology, toponymy, etymology, more wordy-terms, etc., and am at present hugging the Roegadyn dictionary recently posted. So rich. So varied. So perfect!

At any rate, I will be here...watching...reading...wondering. >:] I might not post, but I'll always be there...right behind YOU!!! DUN DUN DUN!!

Gah, that's just more incentive to get back to work on Loremonger!

Every time I say this, I end up being very very wrong - but I'm going to risk it yet again: Once we get through the [City-Specific Backstories], the rest should start coming together a lot faster.

I assume that SE made these with the assumption that it wouldn't be very long before they could go back to throwing city-progress at you every now and again, but it didn't work out that wayleaving the old, convoluted, half-foreshadowy husks there to torment me.

The last few Lominsan posts in GC Midlander sum up what the hold-up is pretty well, but I want to make sure to have all my questions in one place before I think of bothering the lore squad with them further.

Awesome addition and not t mention informative!

Thanks Fern!

Fern deserves to have his own dungeon.

A library of ancient lore, and in the final room, a single large Ahriman with giant monocle, hastily pouring into books.

"AACK! NO GO AWAY! I'M NOT DONE TRANSLATING THIS!" *fights party*

This. Sounds. AMAZING.

And not just because you said it, Denmo!

To be honest I find it distressing how few of my friends actually care about in-game lore. For a story-driven MMO, this game has a fairly apathetic community. Maybe I can find new friends with this forum!

Yeah, it is a MMORPG after all. It's pretty sad that all most people care about is killing bosses and getting loot and skip over the quest text.

I look forward to filling out this page with more info. Nenekko really inspired me!
