    I enjoy in game lore, but... All the "fluff" lore, like character bios, the broad strokes a world history, architectural and cultural facts, belong in an out side source. They just don't fit in game, and "newspaper" dilivered to my in game house would just go unread. Second if I could go to a bulletin board in game and read patch notes... Ugh that would be horrible, and as much as I hate to say it, destroy the atmosphere and immersion of the game, getting in game the information of nerfs or buffs to classes would either have to be clouded in purple prose to where they would be incomprehensible or I would just be left wondering what the hell the lodestone and the forums were good for and why have lore at all if you're going to constantly remind me in game that " this is a game, not a cool fantasy world"

    The nitty gritty of lore should be in game, the broad strokes should be elsewhere,



    However I would not be adverse to an in game lore compendium that was updated... Just patch notes should stay forever on a website or in a launcher, don't put them in the game
