Hi everyone! It's Friday, and it's time for feedback, so let's start another topic, shall we?
This week, we'd like to talk STORY. For those of you in Empyrea, what is your favorite story moment so far, and what do you think of it overall? For those of you who are not yet in Empyrea - what is your favorite story moment in Spiral so far? Feel free to answer any or all of these questions if you want to, we want to hear what you think!
Wishing you a fierce and fiery Friday!

I'm loving all of the stories in the game so far, but if I need to pick just one it would have to be the story in Wysteria! I know, I know, I haven't got to Wysteria on this account yet, but back on my old account, Wysteria was by far one of my favorite worlds to adventure in! Not only was it fun gameplay wise, but the story was incredible!!
It was so exciting to visit another magical school in the Spiral, and I thought the different magical schools and new professors they had were really cool! I also just really love the environments and the overall vibe of the world! Plus, one of my favorite characters in the game, Nalia Dunestrider was introduced there! I am really looking forward to being able to go to Wysteria again!

I am only in Zanadu, but I am REALLY enjoying the story so far. I find it really entertaining and gripping, and I also love the build up that has been going on with Bat so far. As for my favorite part, I loved the cinematic that played when I restored that one tower to remove the Shadow wall. I loved how I got a bird-eye view of the entire city, and it was really nice seeing a huge amount of light shoot into the sky. I can't wait to see how the story progresses!
In other news, I guess I'll be avoiding this thread like the plague since I don't want to see any end of Part 1 spoilers lol
I love the medulla storyline. That was honestly my favorite part of Empyrea, which is storming the Cabal's empyrean headquarters and defeating Medulla. Loved it!
HelloProfessorFalmea so far I'm enjoying the story some the references are hilarious. The only negative I have for it thus far is the quest arrow doesn't point In the right direction right away and u end up gong by the numbers displayed on said arrow. Also I have a question, The door in the Arcanum hallway with the symbol of the cabal above it and blocked by an electrocuted gate will that be uncovered in the second half of this new world or will it be opened at a later arc.
Although I'm not in Empyrea yet (Khrysalis Part 2) I can't WAIT to get there. But my favorite story moment so far has probably been all the outside references in the storyline (-cough- Avalon -cough-). Keep up all THE AMAZING WORK!!!!
i haven't done much in empyrea yet, though i find myself cracking up at all the star trek references (rather appropriately, james t. pork sounds just like william shatner too lol).
as for my favourite story arc: my little black wizard heart belongs to malistaire and sylvia, always.
My favorite part in Empyrea is when (SPOILERS) you really get to connect with the Bat only for him to betray you at the end of part one and severly injuring Mellori. Also may I mention the part when Captain Pork shouts out, "KHHHHAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!"?
Other then that, favorite story moments is when we finally understand why Malistaire wanted the krokonomicon and Morganthe's true character of how she was never a good person to began with.

I love Mooshu's story in general. I went into that world thinking I would not like it, but I fell in love with it. I especially enjoyed helping the two lover ghosts.
For those of you in Empyrea, what is your favorite story moment so far, and what do you think of it overall?
I've got two wizards just at the start of Empyrea, and have gotten one of them to the Sycorax tower. Sycorax being a subtle Tempest reference makes me smile. All the Star Trek easter eggs are fun. Deeply appreciate the many Shakespeare nods - Prospero, Miranda, etc. - and hope that means more of the Tempest will be blended in as the story goes along.
Best part for me? "Kubla Khan" and Xanadu (mixed with "Taylor Coleridge" as a character from Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner who set it all in motion?!). Oh, joy! Kubla Khan is Star Trek 2's Wrath of Khan and my literature-loving heart is just delighted!
The Easter Eggs have reached a new peak in Empyrea, mashing up Trek, Coleridge, classic comics, Shakespeare, vintage rock... shameless and fun. I haven't laughed this much since Avalon. Please give the writers a nice Christmas bonus and some vacation time. Story-wise, it's going to be hard to top the Malistaire Darkmoor ending and the finish of KR, but so far, so good.
I'm currently enjoying the Zigi Stardust story, even beyond the rich Bowie references. Empyria is thus far visually disappointing after the past few worlds, but the writing and gameplay are stellar.
