Jonric: Will there be advantages to knowing the lore well, and if so, how will it benefit those players who do?

Peter Tyson: It is hard to see how it will provide a direct benefit. Knowing the lore will make quests more enjoyable as we are going to try and link those to the lore, and it will also make the ongoing stories and quests as run by GMs make more sense. For the players that enjoy reading the lore and becoming familiar with it, I think the experience will be fun and enjoyable, but we won't create a system whereby knowing the lore is required to enjoy the game as it isn't everyone's cup of tea.
