I feel it'd be super important to have not only records of great things like creation of kingdoms, but also records of an individual's actions.
I'd like to know how a person played a character so I could know them, count on them to behave in a certain way. For the casual player who is busy in real life, this would be crucial!
I play rust sometimes, and it is difficult to know anybody since I only play a few hours a week. I'm alienated from the game and everyone because of this.
Plus, it'd make the game more fun if I knew who stole my stuff, killed my friend, helped me out that one time. And I don't want to have to keep the records myself.
We play this game on computers and we should use them to keep records of people's behavior. I'm not sure what sort of records, perhaps just "X killed Y" or "X traded with Y". Any more in depth, to provide context, would be way more involved. But I feel a simple record of what happened when would be fairly easy to save/manage.
Perhaps there could be a skill like sleuthing that would allow players to have more info, like when "X did Z to Y" or what was traded or whatever.
I hope that it will be easy to understand my experience in the game as part of a story. Being able to view a record of events would help me to do that.
