Welcome Back!

[Urthdigger]

Hopefully, this is one of the situations where SE starts with a tight leash and gives slack over time. After all, the beta forums were practically a performance art piece extolling the virtues of a monthly subscription model. If not, I'm going to need one of those Twitter character counters to edit for conciseness, otherwise I'll be posting a lot of "Check back in an hour for, 'Amberscale Rock is Actually a Dragon [Part 5/9]'"

If it's anything like the beta forums, you can make a short initial post, then edit it to post your wall of text. I had to do that all the time when folks asked for advice.

I'm sure you can pull the important posts from the archive if you want

Thank you, good sir. I had a moment of Nooooooo!

[finiteHP]

Ah so great to have the Lore forum back!

[Xeia]

Oh thank god there's an archive. I sad panda'd around when I first logged back in and saw everything gone D:

[Mysteltain]

There's a whole sub-forum for lore? I may not have played 1.0, but I wish I had checked these forums more often xD I love reading up on lore in pretty much any game that's got it, haha!

[murf]

Aww yea. Time to get back to complaining about the lack of scientific accuracy in a world of fantasy! I cannot wait!

You are more than welcome! I only stumbled upon them really but glad to find them all the same!

Anonymoose, maybe you should put a link or mention it in your first post in case anyone doesn't see my comment!

I can't wait to delve into the beautiful lore of 2.0 and onwards! I am especially excited for more information on the library they have hinted at coming in the future. So exciting! I hope to spend long days in this forum discussing Lore as I feel I didn't take a tenth the attention that I should have in 1.0!

Glad to have the forums back! Looking forward to new discoveries in ARR!

[Haeze]

Hey everyone! I didn't discover the lore forums until after 1.0 ended and I was unable to log into the 1.0 forums, but now I can finally join you all!

Did anyone else notice the bit they put in-game about Thal Icebound? In Limsa (I think the Upper Decks) there is a path that leads down to a small sitting area with a tree and two npcs. The female hyur npc says something along the lines of "You want me to sing a song about you?" and the roegadyn npc next to her says "What? Have you not heard of Thal Icebound?"

Made me smile. :P

Thal (Catapult)'s got great screenshot of himself with it (which Mjollnir has in turn made into a meme of whereby he makes it say say conspiracy theories. "Don't tell me you've not heard Louisoix is Odin!", etc.)
