@Farlander I never played Star Wars Galaxies, so I dont know what learning languages entailed in that particular MMO. However, I think it could be interesting in Fractured, due to the way progression works in it as opposed to older (dare I say ancient) MMO's, like Star Wars Galaxies. Another reason I think it would work is because as mentioned by @Tuoni travel would be an important part in acquiring a new language. @Jetah and @Meiki also mentioned the collection of artifacts and literature. All the activities mentioned in the prior seem to be something people enjoy carrying out in MMO's, if said activities serve a purpose.

@Meiki I really like this idea, just for the fact that it adds to the overall immersion and it would fit nicely into a miscellaneous category in the knowledge system. Maybe a translation skill could even be added, where if the leader of the group understands the language an NPC is speaking, then the whole group does.

@Jetah lol

@Meiki "They cannot care anymore to do mundane tasks and/or there is just too much to do, they might have tremendous power, but they are still not omnipotent"

Its a good point. I realize none of the "Gods" are omnipotent because that would require a Supreme God i.e. Odin or Zeus and from what lore I have read about fractured, so far, a God such as these do not exist. I think instead of calling the fractured Gods, "Gods" we should be using deities which is what most polytheistic religions use when referring to divine beings. Maybe the fractured deities acquire and use champions to complete their tasks not because of the monotony, but because they possess none of the attributes of a true God. Those attributes being, Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence. They are only, like you said @Meiki, powerful beings who rule over lesser beings.

I don't really like the idea of being able to visually see the God's of fractured. If they take on an embodiment, then whats the purpose of Divine quests or Champions who carry out the quests? Why not complete the tasks themselves? Also, I think visually seeing the Gods removes some of the mystery that surrounds them. I like the idea of them speaking to their champions, so maybe some good voice acting for each of the Gods. They could still do everything your suggesting without embodying them. Its the job of the champion to manifest the God they worship. But that's just my 2 cents.
