I have noticed every once in a while the general chat will delve into the conversation of the future or present lore of the game and "where we are" as story goes. Some theorize that we are picking up where left off, while others think we are in the future(2021 as oppose to 2012) as the "coming storm" never came. One of my favorite pass times or guilty pleasures are reading people's origins and one caught my eye and described the whole shut down as a "blink" to explain what happened. This has intrigued me ( as three drinks in) and has made me rather curious as what many think of the gap in time(if there is one for many) or never happened and are still on the road to the war with the "coming storm"? Or has that idea has been abandoned?
