Yeah, and a side effect of the inconsistent lore is why Daquarius seems so bipolar.
Most of the Runescape lore was just individual J-mods making things up as they went along. Take the Mahjarrat, for example. Originally there wasn't supposed to be any significance for them going North beyond "The Wilderness is in the North, and evil things are in the Wilderness, therefore it's a great place for evil people to hang out."
But then other Jmods began sending the Mahjarrat of their own questlines north, and suddenly they had to come up with a better reason..
Inconsistent! Exactly. Its like you were saying, everyone does their own questline and they don't check on past quests/lore to make sure its staying cannon. This is a problem for us as players because it gets very confusing. -- Thus, Its also why I don't mind a little lore bending (within reason) -- I mean okay.. Elves don't leave their land -- but give the elf a reason to (Plague) and maybe they do, the thing about the Plague storyline is that the majority of the elves don't know this is a thing, what would happen if they did? Would they abandon their city for their sense of honor? -- Make your Lore Bend Make Sense --- , But since elves don't leave their land... What would happen if one did? Would they try to find her?
--- ESPECIALLY because Elves are separatists.
And as stated above, since we are going off an existing game, we are limited to the Lore of the game -- But that would be boring. What additional story could you come up with? Bend the lore a little (Acceptable) bend the lore to a logical place (Acceptable) -- Suddenly your character is a God who can't die? (Unacceptable) -- Suddenly your character can read minds? (unacceptable)
