It can be a bit tough digging up RO backstory. It seems like the newer towns like Lighthalzen, Einbroch, etc. have more backstory written in for the monsters compared to the older monsters, most of which are based on mythological critters.
As a thought/research exercise, (anyone in the thread is welcome) give me a list of 5 monsters you would really like to know about and I will try to find the history behind them. I'll ask around about old versions of the site, I do remember the monster, and item database.
Oh thanks ODA that would be great. Even if it is just five that still would help. Plus im sure if anyone else gets info they will share it with me as well. So my list will be:
Detard
Myst
Thanatos
Orcs (any of them or all of them if you can)
Baphomet (is he a gardian of somthing? or is he just evil)
Also i have a question about Endless Tower. Is it just a world created by naught where the monster and MVP's in the tower are just replicas of real monsters or are they real monsters protecting the tower?
