Even more story ideas

[Tornadic]

I'm a comic book nerd, and a pen and paper RPG'er (oh yea, I'm old school). I do have some problems with continuing the story/ A LESIG group, and it goes a-lika this.

Continuing the story. (Or, why you shouldn't)
I only played for about 3 months before MxO shut down, that's not important. What is important is that I NEVER figured out just WTF was going on story wise. MxO Story is probably the single best resource for MxO's story but even Cloudwolf's coverage stops at like chapter 9 I think. I still only have a rough idea with WTH happened after that. To continue where MxO left off is going to further alienate new players (myself included). Plus, and this is just personal opinion, I hated all that story stuff that happened in the real (it's not called The Real Online is it?).

NO LESIG, LET, or any live events.
This may can me some ire, but hear me out.
1) People from other time zones or people who work evenings/weekends may not be able to make the events, this means that they're missing out on plot points.
2) If major plot points are divulged during these Events, new players (think someone who starts playing 3 months later) Will have no idea what's going on.
This is very frustrating to new comers who are also story-philes (like myself)

Besides, with my idea, you just let the RP'ers RP. This fleshes out the story, and all the little opening and closing cinematics (machinimas) would give new players a heads up on what happened in the past. This way, new players who are huge story nerds could check out the archived vids, jack in and see Praxedis and be all "OMG that guy fucked up all those zionites a few months ago! I better not fuck with him." And since Prax is in character, it's like a little LE just happened.

One last thing, People that role Alts and who might want to add some weight to things may want to "take one for the team" and kill a character permanently in order to add a lit of drama to the story "episodes" (my D&D experience has taught me this). THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION, I'M NOT PROPOSING MANDATORY CHARACTER KILLS
