I'm going to admit, and maybe the world will end tomorrow because of this, but I agree. This sounds pretty awesome.

That second disc might as well have been on a website.

Don't any of you remember the Vana'diel Times? That was something you only read in your POL client, not even on the website. It had so many neat little things, like biographies of the people for whom the dynamis currencies were named after, and even in-character interviews with players. I remember when they interviewed the first guy to get the Maat's Cap

I think you're completely missing the point of what's being posted on the Lodestone, Rokien. The idea is the stuff on the Lodestone is augmenting what's already discoverable in-game.

Not to mention that the Lodestone is viewable by everyone, whether they own the game or not. It doesn't exist solely for active players; it's also there in the hopes that someone will read it, find it interesting, and start playing the game.

Alicia-Florence asked to be able to read the world lore related stories in game where you adventure through dungeons and find a piece of journal or whatever and by collecting these pieces you get to read more about the history or story related to that content. Triairy said in 2.0 they want to make it possible to read the lore details within game and currently devs are looking into how to put them in and how much they can put it in isn't confirmed yet so once those are set it will take some time to implement.

Something rien said.

Indeed, there was a suggestion on another thread that the lore should also be available in-game in libraries (which is a brilliant idea) but there is already the bare bone beginnings of something similar in Limsa (near the custom desk at the docks).

But to take the lore OFF the Lodestone? Hell no and I'm adamantly against it... I remember enjoying the Vanadiel Times on FFXI and its signature tune was always one of my all-time fav ffxi songs (said this several times in the past). Thus the reason why I'm a huge fan of the Grand Companies page.

So yeah; keep the lore where it is. Spruce it up, yes... toss in more artwork, yes... add some kinda theme tune to it, yes... but take it down and even Hildebrand himself will evoke a mutiny.

Ha to late for that!~ Deal with it.
