I am on two sides of this. On one, yes, but on another, this was something that active players were meant to experience by being there. The way others who come later learn it as tales. It IS exclusionary to say but in sense of, you traveled to this world at a later point, and the others in the world tell you tales of the past etc. It is one of those Dalamund moon elements from 1.0 that probably stuck with the team - much like 1.0 some things in this world always want you to be there to experience it, but not in way that you would have an unplayable game by coming in later, and old players have something to talk with new players.


But it is not generally a bad idea and having it somehow in NG+ would be best ways to implement something like this.
