Looking Back At 2020: My Lore Experience

I know what you're thinking - "Magma, it isn't the end of 2020 yet!". Well to me, going back to school in a few days, it kind of is.

I thought that I'd take a brief moment to look back on 2020 and the things we have accomplished. For me at least, lore in 2020 really kicked off in February, with me emerging onto the scene.

February: Earliest plans for the Great Lore Hunt are formed, I arrive onto the scene as a theorist.

March: The Great Lore Hunt is advertised. I make theories about Bob, his mother, and his masters. Various people register interest in the lorehunt, and @TrapinchO and @ParkourTNT help me set up a discord server and organise the event.

April: The Great Lore Hunt begins! Many people show up and we find numerous easter eggs across the Ragni Plains. It is a really productive time and we make new friends. We begin to collect the info from the hunters and start to compile it. A few member, myself and @ParkourTNT included, do smaller hunts in areas that weren't covered much.

May: I leave the forums because of real-life issues, @ParkourTNT continues compiling the information on the areas in the Great Lore Hunt, things stagnate in the lore community.

June: Late this month I return and apologise for my absence. I propose a new project, the Great Lore Index. This project's aim is to categorise all info and questions we have about certain topics in Wynn lore. The first piece of the index, about Bob and his life, is published. It does well, but already I am losing enjoyment for the project and it is getting difficult to compile the upcoming threads.

July: The Great Lore index is sadly cancelled, due to lack of motivation and enjoyment. A few people start to register interest in lore at this point, and me and Parkour discuss the possibilities that a lore discord would hold. The first ideas for the WynnTheory channel form in my head.

August: The lore discord is up and people begin to join! We don't explode with new members, but growth is definitely there. A lot of theories are proposed, and the WynnTheory channel is announced and set up. Fool (don't know your forums account), publishes some great reports on Wynn prehistory and the jungle, and @Emogla3 discusses the desert which leads on to some theories from him. WynnTheory continues strong and our first guest speaker,, @LeviLips96 applies!

2020 has been a roller-coaster for me. I'd just like to thank all of you for being supportive, and in particular I'd like to thank:

@ParkourTNT, for being a helpful tech adviser and setting up both discords. A really great guy.

@TrapinchO for provding both moral support and practical advice on how I could move forward.

Everyone else on the lore discord. @Iboju, our wonderful technician, @LeviLips96 our upcoming speaker, @Emogla3, our desert scholar, and our wonderful helpers - Fool and @SPYROHAWK. I owe you all one.



Thank you.

Even with the COVID pandemic going on, 2020 was still an amazing year.

 

Agreed. While the real world was in shambles, this was an opportunity for me to get my head down and start working on so many projects (Wynncraft and others), that I've not had time to do before.

 

Let's be honest you posted this early because of the potato-melon war

 

Isn't it a bit early to have a recap of 2020 seeing as it's still going (as it is making eminently clear)? I mean, I want it to be over as much as the next person, but September 1st seems a bit early.

 

I'm currently trying to understand why this is in the Wynncraft section and not a profile post.
Now I know why Druser said the lore posts were getting obnoxious, this one's not even about Wynn.
