At the moment it seems like i've been dumped into this gigantic enormous world, for apparently no main reason at all...

First of all, the game has no main storyline to follow. You just jump in, wonder around a little with some fellow adventurers, kill some monsters here and there, etc. There are these little storyline's to follow however. Like the one's that connect between certain quest givers that are located in different city's, outposts, village's, etc. But as of yet i still haven't discovered why the hell i'm wondering around at all. Where is the purpose to it all? Shouldn't we all be saving the Vanguard universe or something? Sure we need to do that! But why the hell are we still saving chickens, and killing some ugly looking bandits up in the hills? Of course there is a reason to do that stuff, because the questgiver said so! But come on, there isn't any epic feel to save a bunch of chickens now is there?

Personally i would like to see a main storyline which would be based around missions, a few cut-scenes here and there, a little more interaction with the NPC's that are located throughout the world, etc.

When i first joined at beta 5 i thought they would be adding this kind of stuff when the game would be launched. That there was going to be a major patch at release, that filled in the holes that were there. But as of yet, these things still haven't been included. And to be honest with you all, this concerns me a little.

There are a few people however that have stated that the Diplomacy sphere has a lot of lore to offer. However, not everyone is interested into this sphere, but would maybe like to discover some more lore, based on the world they're playing in.

Regarding this i have few questions for the development team, and the community itself:
  • How does Sigil feel about the current state of the game, storywise?
  • Is there any work going on behind the curtains regarding a main storyline for the game?
  • If yes, what should we expect to see coming our way, and within which timespan could we expect it to come our way?
  • If no, will it still be considered to be added in the future, or is there never going to be anything like it?
  • And, would you as a player like something more mission based being added to the game?



Just a personal view on the current state of the game, storywise! I'm a level 12 Thestran Male Human Paladin who already did a truckload of quests, but don't feel connected to it all, because the lack of immersion that's based around the storyline.



The idea is to convey the majority of lore through diplomacy. That's not to say it won't be and isn't conveyed elsewhere and that we have work to do.
