First of all, don´t know if this is better in the Sugestions sub-forum or here, in case I got it wrong just redirect this post. Also, if this was already addressed in another thread, forgive me, but I didn´t find such
So, to the point…I like concept of living story, I really do. I especially like how you linked the Zephyrites with Glin, it is good to know that the older lore is expanded upon and the updates are not just standalone episodes. The Zephyrite diary, about how they found Glint and used her, it was great. But. Why this was on a website and not in game? This disconnects the experience a little. As I see it, it would be better to make one book that fell from the Sanctum by accident, or several pages, scattered by the wind like crystals are, so that our characters could actually read it. It´s a beautyful bit of lore and it would be even more strong, if we could read it in game, not on site (and not everyone is reading that stuff too!).
Same goes for the Flame and Frost (the Braham and Rox stories). Why not put a diary of that norn that was there when Braham´s father was dying, tell the story from his angle and put the book into the Cragstead? (Or North Nolan Hatchery for Rox´s story).
Finding bits of lore like that in the world and maybe in not that accessible places is great and rewards exploration too. It´d feel that more special to the person who finds it and reads it. Like the books in Ebonhawke, that tell the story of it´s founding. Why not do it that way?
I know that not everyone could find it, and while it´s on the website, it´s accessible to everyone, but I bet that the transcription would be on wiki right on the other day that the patch hits.
Long story short – I think we should find the Lore in-game, not on a website and I hope I´m not alone in this. If someone of the devs is listening here, please, consider doing this, or do tell what is the reason you prefer it the way it is. Thanks!
