LORE

The lore in this game comes from several sources:

  1. information from the history classes at LHS
  2. information or hints in the quest dialogue/notes/instructions
  3. information in the Epcot II museum
  4. information on the plaques of Statue Park etc.
  5. Wikis players will make
  6. the ABD/TNH business website pages
  7. walk-throughs players will make (such as on YouTube)
  8. information in random dialogue players can initiate with non-quest-giver NPCs -AND- with NPCs involved in quests AFTER those quests are accepted from the quest-givers (a level/area boss might muse verbally about something which you happen to hear, or in telling you AS she is granting you more XP or access or a pass-code or something)
  9. privileged information only the ICV-players get, such as NWO MIL classes which review footage and theories behind Inisfree’s Space R-CAX near/in the Oort Cloud
