Lucky people who get backstories because they have been here for a long time... wait. Backstories... for a forum game? Doesn't that strike you as odd for what is normally in this section? :3 Just food for thought.. because so far it seems more like an RPG with everyone having characters and plot stuff.
Hey, I've been in DTG2 for quite some time now, but some of the newer players have backstories already, like ManiacMasteR, who's the [self-proclaimed] King o' the Nether. Really, it depends on how much you roleplay in the game. Take me as an example; I've been here for a while but I haven't developed myself yet as a story-essential character because of my focus on metagame insight over roleplaying. As a result, I've had less of an impact compared to Maniac.
Aside from that, the game has really become more of an interactive story than a game, IMO because there's a lot of plot elements floating around. Or a game like what Telltale Games would do.
My favorite part of DTG2 is the story. (My favorite part of DTG1 is the hilarious antics the players get up to.) Backstory is an important part of the DTG experience to me.
Now that there's an intermission, I might join, if I ever learn how to play this game.
It's only as complicated as you make it, just post attacks, charge and do other stuff if you want. For instance, a post would be "I attack X repeatedly, wounding it badly" or if you wanted it more complex, "I shoot X with a pistol. Entitynamehere 2/5 Alechemynamehere 4/6" That kind of thing.

Do i get a bonus for dealing exactly 427 damage? Or is it 8888?
Also ManiacMasteR, you do not want to know how that answer was answered.
