So it seems the Garleans aren't completely gone, and I was wondering how that was going to work, considering we wasted the castrums in Operation Archon and yet there they were still standing in-game.
I think it's a unique question for roleplayers. The city-state leaders arbitrarily declared the Seventh Astral Era (meaning the Seventh Umbral Era lasted...five years? Really?)...so which is it for us? When new roleplayers join, they'll be going through the story all over again, not that we really RP the story for obvious reasons, just the backstory it provides. But from an OOC perspective, we'd be 'spoiling' it for them if we RPed the ending as the new present time.
When 2.1 is released, are we to assume Operation Archon took place? Did our characters take place in it (especially wondering for my character, who is a full-time 1st Brigade Immortal Flame)? Admittedly this is the first time I've RPed so long in these sorts of MMOs, I migrated from EVE where there is no main individual story but one massive ongoing story.
Curious to hear what people thinkÂ
I'd already been assuming Operation Archon took place. Â I already played through the story, and exactly where were we supposed to stop along the way, eh? Â I mean, there's one period of time where it seems like several weeks or even months is supposed to have gone by in-game before we move on to the next part. Â Should we have stopped there? Â Or during the point where Titan is threatening Limsa? Â Or before Ifrit was resummoned? Â When exactly do we stop?
So I waited to start RPing, really, until I finished out the storyline so I'd be able to see everything that happened, and have been playing with that knowledge. Â Besides, it's not as if you have to scream from the rooftops, "HEY GUYS WE BLEW UP THIS HERE CASTRUM" in order to play with the knowledge. Â It doesn't have to be an "in-your-face" thing.
On an OOC note, I don't think they're going to make in-world changes, because that would bork the hell out of the final quests in the main storyline.
