Like I said before, what of new players who just work with the lore that is given them in game and don't see this post on the RPC? Are RPers here really that exclusive? It seems isolationist and elitist to me. Some of the comments here leave a bad taste in my mouth.Let's flip that around.
It's part of the game's story, but anyone with a functional brain (and is actually paying attention) will notice that the appearance of Titan is, ahem, a titanic event, with several major players participating in its demise, and the previous attempt ended with a huge number of casualties in order to attain that victory. Garuda is an even bigger event, and
Of course, there are the Hard Mode versions as well, and if you're going to RP having killed them, you're going to have to claim an insane level of personal competence on your character's part, in addition to possessing the Echo and the support of similarly competent characters behind him or her.
Again, I'm not saying you can't do this, just that I'm likely to hold you to a higher standard (and I must remind you, I don't do this consciously or with a purpose) simply because of how much harder you actually have to work to make that interesting. So what if you killed them? How did you do it, and why should I care? Remember, if many players make the same claim, it will tend to be drowned out by the noise.
And this is besides the point that, yeah, there are probably more interesting stories you can write than simply 'I was there' and 'I did this'. Focus on things that define your character and you're generally going to see better results than if you simply take aspects whole-hog from the story. It's just better for everyone involved, really.
