but that would be real lore, wouldn t it? - not some artificial lore we wrote up as a rumor. - information passed on from player to player. - sometimes even false information......

i do not think it separates the veterans from the newbies. ... not more than it is anyway. - remember the "go discover" crap a newbie gets? - thats - well, i can think of more of those when everything was hidden behind the veil of "no information" - however.... total uncertainty could also improve the roleplay.

checking datastorm or other sources is - well... cheating, but its not like cheating to gain a great advantage for oneself.. its cheating oneself.

its a bit like what happens in the big mmorpg. - people that buy equipped and levelled chars via pay pal or whatever. - they cheat themselves, cause it is no great fun to BE a superchar... its the fun to BECOME it. - and for disco, it would mean that it may be no achievment to learn all the stats and numbers behind the scenes from an exel sheet.... but it means that you learn them via ingame experience, communication etc. - thats the real reward. you can TALK about things you have in the game. - you can brag about the power of your weapon... and who would spoil you for it. - the enemy that has no idea how your weaponstats are? ( only the guy that checked datastorm will know exactly ) ...

it would have been interesting not to tell anyone what multipliers on armour upgrades are for that matter. - guess how wild the guesses would have been about the type 7 and 8 armour - that cost 280 or almost 1 billion credits. - knowing that they "only" improve the armour by another 0.5 or 1.0 multiplier to the type 6 armour that costs 40 million - thats boring, isn t it? - but speculating about what a 1 billion upgrade COULD do - without ever knowing.... thats real lore.
