Midgard already has a reasonably-well-described history leading up to the “present time”, but included in this were a number of obvious and not-so-obvious game “restarts” (including a quite violent meteor strike). Since we’re talking about yet another restart, what recommendations do you have for altering the history of the Midgard world?
I guess first and foremost, should we leave the meteor strike in the history books, or rewrite the consequences of that meteor (effectively replacing it as a different strike), or get rid of it altogether? Should we go back in time and run Midgard from an earlier time in its history, or just make little changes to it but leave it basically intact, or write a new alternate history altogether? Should we try to “explain” the restart or just pretend that it was like that all along (story-wise)? Maybe you can even come up with other options.
What are your opinions on the subject?
