  Hey guys,
  
  Lore is a big thing in the game that many people love. I haven't been a huge lore freak until I started playing wow. Eqn brought out these short story lore books in which talk about the start of the races and the back grounds etc. I'm curious if we will have something like this in the future that we are able to purchase or even download. It's very interesting reading it in a story formate rather than playing and having bits a pieces in game.
  
  Edit: I have read all the Eqn books to date and loved them, fyi, forgot to add it :p

  Not sure if they will add lore books that u can purchase or even download, but for now all the lore that they are pumping out is located on another site

  http://www.thekeepersvault.com

  There u can see what has been added so far, there is some background on the races and zones.

  medousa, what a great question. At the moment that is not our primary focus, but it is my personal passion to write long, in-depth accounts of fictional worlds, peoples & events. So certainly, as it pertains to Pantheon, I will fight for a deeper way to explore the world of Terminus (& a bit beyond). Lore books would be an excellent way to do that. It's tough to say how that will happen, at this moment. But I know as long as I am attached to the project as Lore Master, et al, the quality we produce should be on par with novels. The world should feel bigger than the story itself (not that I don't love "smallness" in a story. Truly, I do.) For now, follow the link kindly provided by westermann, & as always just ask!

  Thanks guys, I was just curious on the subject, it would be a neat edition in future when we have more time and such! I have been and I will keep following the lore at the keepers vault. I hope to keep reading awesome writeups, cheers again guys! :)

  I'd love to see books with lore and background information about the races and areas and the history of a place in the game. (In-game) libraries rock :)

  I wouldn't be surprised to find one such place, or more. ;)

  Lore makes games more interesting and personal for me, WoW lore was great and they have dozens of novels and previous games. Just thousands of years of conflict and culture and a pantheon of gods and elemental titans beneath the earth really enrich the whole experience to a new level and makes the world seem bigger and gives a sense of endless adventure like there are infinite possibilities and dark corners of the world with a story yet to be discovered.

  Ephemeros -

   

  I think that's one of my favorite aspects of story, lore and the like: no matter what you've accomplished, read or discovered, the bigness still remains. There is still more you don't know, or an "infinite" that has yet to occur. Vastness in a world, carefully constructed, is akin to the real-life feeling when you peer off the edge of a very tall cliff.

  I very much enjoy minimalist elements in creative writing. The story untold is the story most interesting sometimes.

  Yeah like whispers of legends and mysterious rumors leaves room for the imagination and a sense of trepidation

  EQ was my first online Mmolrpg, and it was dripping lore. I started from launch, and I read all the lore I could find: in the small books included in the game box, to whatever was on the site.

  Listening to the Npc's in the cities and along the roads was a great way to sop up the lore of the world also. It was immersion in a real and wonderful way.

  I won't be suprized if we find much the same in this world. I hope.
