Excellent use of the lore to herald beta. Auraxis is found...and beta to start shortly!

I enjoyed reading this (the first I've read of them). It's interesting to see what led up to the events on Auraxis. However.....

I didn’t know a higher level of security was possible until I saw them start locking people up for being outside of their rooms passed eight.

Yeah, it's far from the only spelling/grammar error in the lore files. I don't care though - GIVES MOAR! :love:

It's a personal log, blame the character (Donald Spalding). :V

This was a very interesting read. I love extensive lore in video games, and Planetside has one of the richest backstories for a video game that I know of. It really helps put the game and the scenario into perspective.

When I first started reading I thought this was about one of the devs, and he was complaining that SoE wasn't feeding them enough.

They really should organize the lore articles into a separate section. It's lumped up in "News" alongside all the media and dev interviews. It's easy to miss the lore bits because of the layout. Which is a crying shame because the lore articles are pretty well done and very passable. Not to mention very entertaining to read.

A separate "Lore" or "Story" section on the official site would be nice. If at least to give some exposure to the lore bits.

you know I thought this myself every time I went in search of the lore stories when rereading them it's a damn good idea, listen to this man SOE he smart :D
Actually the whole website could use an overhaul for ease of access & searching.

In case you missed the @psucom tweet, check out the Lore article on the wiki. Some nice work there.

You now do not need to dig through planetside2.com past news articles for lore, the Lore source material has been archived and organized in the wiki Lore Archive, thanks Nimbal.
