I’ve only received two ingame mails about anything lore-related in the past half-year or so - the most recent being about a hypothetical anagram of a region description, which sounds interesting, and one asking for a bit of guidance toward being able to help out with things in relation to the Drifters in particular, from a few months ago. Regrettably, I indeed failed to respond to these in any timely manner: prior to the past month or so, I’ve been unable to consistently log into the game client itself, due to some IRL responsibilities (that said, I can always be found more immediately on Discord at Uriel#2062, or on Twitter)
I’m kind of taken aback at this assertion, as that’s completely not the case - indeed, I talk day to day with a lot of people who have been into the game’s story for years, all of whom tend to congregate in some focused spaces (like the Roleplay is Primary Discord, which I’ll link below). I do not, however, seek to further some conspiratorial goals for some secret small group. I’m not here to try and pry out story information, or spoil future reveals or events, or force peoples’ ideas about what should happen in the story onto CCP’s teams.
The point of my campaign and, given the opportunity, a placement on CSM16, is to encourage the exposure of the worldbuilding of the game to as many players as possible, through actual integration with in-client gameplay. The more people who are made aware of it and can see it in the first place, the more there will be who might stick around permanently because of it - and the better EVE will be for the story’s actual presence in the game itself.
The Roleplay is Primary discord is a great, open space where anyone who’s interested can hop in and listen, ask things, discuss any aspect of the story, etc - I do lament that the movement of this sort of discussion from forums to discord makes things less discoverable, however, so I also plan to do more actual talking on the lore forums (both in the style of my big old compilations, and other things). That said, here’s the link to that discord:
