MA gave out a fap for someone dressing up like their avi, so so why not a prize to the "official historian"? |
hmmmmm
Maybe some segments of the history could be opened to the community in some way. I just can't help but think unanswered things in the past could very well affect what will happen to us in the future so maybe
MA wants to leave those doors open.
Plus its the developer's baby so to speak. It was their initial inspiration and maybe they will renew that inspiration by weaving events past, present, and future.
There are probably a lot of boring aspects in running a MMO and the truely creative concept parts of it are what make it all worth it. I know I love to paint, draw, write, and think up concepts all the time that is the fun aspects of my job(s).
It would be nice for the community to be included in a collaborative creative process with
MA but I would hate to take away any of the inspiration they might gain from doing it themselves.
I like designing concept weaponary, armor, tools, and monsters and I would do it whether there was a contest or not. I may not always show my work but I do because of the inspiration I have gained from
EU.
Maybe the best we can hope for is a "wishlist" like section in
EF where we could propose ideas concept histories and what not. Maybe our inspiration in
EU will inspire
MA as well.
Ohhh well just my
Either way
MA decides to take it is fine by me just so long as it eventually moves along
