The Daily Grind: Lore-to-go?
To some people, lore in MMOs is very important. Others may not really have a great deal of time to dig into the game, and thus are likely missing lots and lots of great back-story. We know in our case, the novelization of the Warcraft universe has made for pretty interesting reading when on lunch hour or stuck in airports. (If there is an audiobook version out there, we'd recommend that more for sheer portability.) We also can't help but think that those LotRO folks have the unfair advantage on the rest of us; they have a good solid idea of what's going on before they ever step foot in the game -- assuming they've ever read the books. For today we'd like to ask you this; if game companies made the lore of your world available in book or audiobook format, would you be inclined to check it out? Or is the idea of reading up on the lore not something you'd do when there are so many sites out there that give you the necessary strategies and information in bite-sized packages? Have you, like us, already gotten your geek on with some of the lore books? How did you like them?
