We will be continuing that tradition in A Realm Reborn. As I'm sure you've seen Fernehalwes post about often, the dev. team will be working hard to include lots of juicy lore along with the quests that players tackle in A Realm Reborn.

In addition, the team will be implementing other aspects to help adventurers get a better feel of the world they inhabit, such as NPCs that offer up info on specific locales.
