Many important events of the server history, such as the battle of the Scars and the Cyricist attack, are missing from the ic knowledge thread, due, I guess, to lack of time from the dms. So I would like to suggest to do like in COA: allow the players to post and have the dms monitor the thread.
I really, really love the ambient NPC rumours sytems and I wish it was updated more often and frequently!
After the war seems like a good time to update it all. There is a possibility of a complete turn-over.
Oh no, if players can write their own rumours the thread will go haywire.
I would prefer it to stay DM only.
Monitoring a ton of posts of which, some will be good, some bad and some ugly may be more work than posting themselves.
Although I understand the drive behind this suggestion, I do think this void offers a viable and interesting gap to be filled by PC initiatives.
For example, my PC is writing The Public Inquiry (//%22http://www.escapefromundeath.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60718%22) which is a periodical on major events, public concerns etc. This is all just getting underway now though; stay tuned!
PCs can already do this, via newspapers, sendings, etc. It is more flavorful also.

Precisely!
I am going to toss in another "I really love the rumor posts!' More please!
As a player with little time to actually play, I love to be able to stop on the forums and read the rumors to keep up with what's going on in the gameworld. More posts would definitely be appreciated!
