Talkirc (atys)
.... but since 90% of the RP doesn't lead to anything but talk and stories, no real actuall content (save for the camp building) then nothing major is lost by building that single history.
I guess this is where you don't understand at all.
One day Ryzom , the game, will no longer exist. Then this "real" content will disappear, all that will remain is the player's memories of these talk and stories. These will be the only real remaining things (real doesn't mean material).
