Lore is a big part of the game for many MMO players. We like to know the backstory: why is this conflict happening? How did this world arrive at its current state? Who is this guy and why is it so important to him that I kill ten of whatever that creature over there is?
If you’re one of the players who needs to know the why and how of it all, you’re going to love the newest section on the Global Agenda site. Hi-Rez Studios has put together an amazingly comprehensive backstory for their game, and offered it up in several different formats. If you just need the highlights, check out the timelines, both pre-commonwealth and post-commonwealth. If you are more of an in-depth reader, you’ll love the 124 pages of backstory available in PDF form. You can also listen to the full story in mp3 format.
This is a fascinating story for Global Agenda fans, delving into the world that they’re so familiar with. Even if you’re not currently playing the game, the full story is very well written and a good read for any fan of post-apocalyptic fiction. Head over to the Global Agenda site and check it out!

He can be often be found speculating on some of the deeper aspects of this fictional world as he tugs at the various plot threads woven by the developers.
As the Ashen Verdict beats down each of the barriers within Icecrown Citadel and defeats some of the most horrific of what the Scourge has to offer, a singular question pricks at the back of the mind of many a hero: does Arthas Menethil deserve redemption? Do not misunderstand. This is not a question of whether he will be redeemed, but a question of whether he should be redeemed. The difference is important.
