Speaking of those old wiki entries that just seemed like fluff:
These elemental races probably aren't going to be playable. The story uses them. I don't like the idea of recoloring and adding bits to the playerset to make races. Players would catch on and loathe it.

What has confused me and what will confuse other new comers is that outdated information is presented in the wiki as though it were planned.

The future is still exciting, there has to be more graphics and props to fully show off the story. It's frustrating to read forum topics that come off as "this sucks, change everything." or "everyone should quit". I'd vote for changing.

According to the backstory Tritans and Sparrons were mostly nuked by the quake. It's a backstory, it doesn't need too much. even a quick NPC that says stuff like "This place use to be a powerful and prosperous empire until the great quake brought it down flat." would be useful in game.

The construction NPCs use to block the way to North Tulimshar saying that it was being rebuilt because a quake destroyed it. I wish there were more props and NPCs speaking from within the planned story's context.

Our eAthena content doesn't have a backstory.

Sorry, working as fast as I can. I figure since eAthena is still up and TMW isn't yet, the overlap isn't really doing too much damage.

Their homes were destroyed and their population made sparse, but at least the Tritans are mentioned in the story as still existing. Sparrons might have survived as well (Ones the "flew away" or were not on their home islands at the time).
