Spoiler  - Verra is actually the expansion pack so everyone's returning to the world to try it out

All races once lived in Verra but something happened (Strongly hinted to be some kind of corruption because some devs failed to keep their mouth shut). After the corrutpion of the world (or race(s)?) the playable races had to GTFO out. Now, suddenly the portals opened again and we went back.

Personaly I belive some race or person/deity or clan/group stayed behind and have now opened the gate for us to come and help them do something. Or maybe some evil race in Verra opened our own portals or led us to it since they want to conquer our worlds.

Most likely scenario though is that we are going back to our recently opened home world again to fight some form of corruption in the world.

However the story goes,  I'm jumping on this band wagon.  Steven has already stated there will be books if I'm not mistaken...to explain the lore,  good enough for me to chew on while we wait.

Some of the limited info we know so far:

The gateways have once again begun to move, what was buried and forgotten, has now risen to the surface.  The nations of the world have begun to send expeditions through these portals, to re-discover their past and explore this great new world.
In Ashes of Creation, you start out in the world having come back through the Great Divine Gateways.  You come from a non-magical world, where many nations and races exist.  These pioneers have different goals and objectives.  You have arrived to rediscover, rebuild and repopulate this world of your origin.

The story of our game begins with the arrival of our players.  You have been chosen to repopulate this forgotten world.  To explore what untold magic and glory exists in the deep dark crevices of these lands. It is up to the players to advance civilization and found cities in order to develop this kingdom for the glory of your people.

That's pretty cool. I didn't know the world they were coming from was a non magical one.  Maybe that explains the pax east cosmetics lol.

If the demand is met and the game is truly ground breaking in the way so many of us want and hope, then revenue from subs/cosmetic store will be enough. If on the other hand it becomes niche with say 50-100k subs only once stabilized, then you can bet that we will see some scope creep when it comes to marginal "do this faster" stuff, with elaborate explanations about how the item is not truly p2win.

I doubt the Intrepid team would come out with a max token like that. Their referral system is already a strong motivator for people to get their friends to play.

So its seems Magic is more tied to the land of Verra than the actual mage/cleric etc, interesting.

The Boston clothes really messed up the lore. I had some good stories to pen but then they added Boston Tea Party stuff. That means time travel or maybe a ship's replicator that fabricated them out of ancient clothing patterns. I'm pretty sure there's going to be aliens in this game.

There was a big contest to select the people to leave their world and go back to Verra. Once they had went through the gate, it was shut down and all the people on their home world threw a 3 day kegger in celebration of tricking all the degenerates into leaving.

The devs have shared very little on lore to this point.  Steven said they are laser focused on their promised milestone goals instead, and that although there is a lot of lore established, they are keeping it hidden for now.  :-)  #keepthemysterygoing

Crap happened and the Gods openned the portals to save us...so we basically crashed at their house for 10k years...and now they're tactfully throwing us out.

My big thoughts on why are people returning is, is every race coming back from a different place?(world or such) . So has it been thousands of years that dwarves and elves and such have not interacted with each other? and are the portals going to be two way, can you go back through them?

Very first thing I'm going to do is try to go back through the portal to see where I came from.

Verra is part of Westworld. After trying out different historical eras, polls showed that people wanted more of a fantasy element to the amusement park so Middle Earth World was created. Everything is a robot except us. We're the customers.
