My heart...
So broken...

What? There's a new paragraph up there.
By the way, if (when) I really get to updating this; I'll probably do it mostly through edits and not say anything.

K, so I've been giving this some thought and making some notes and thought I'd sahre with you guys a little bit about what i was thinking.
Firstly, I'm gonna move the time-period relative to the Folly. Originally I was going to write everything witht he Folly sercurely in the past, roughly 1,000 years. What I keep running into though is that putting this incredibly important event so far in the past makes it largely irrelevant to the story. it's hard for any of the characters to care about it, or for it to have any impact on the story when it's 10-15 generation behind them.
So I'm moving the story to be something more like 50-100 years after the Folly. Making it recent enough that civilzations are still reeling from the disaster, the land is still in relative upheaval, and that some characters may even be old enough to have survived it. More ruins, more wilderness, more chaos.
A Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy if you will. What if the good guys didn't win? What if the bad guys doomsday device was activated? What if worked? Then what?
Also, just as "Taed's Folly" didn't wipe out the whole forum but just a piece; the Folly in AWR didn't erase all memories and history, but a pretty solid chunk; making way for legends and lore speculation to fill the gaps.
I think this new approach will add a little more to the flavor of the world.

So... are the characters going to be aged according to that?
Like, the older members who were around at that time would have characters 50+ years of age while the newer members would be younger...

Hard to say. I was going to essentially age the characters based roughly on their forum personalities; but after last night that'd have me writing infants. . . so. . .

Even if you think some of us should be children (as to the elderly crones we'd be if you did it based on joining date), such things can easily be messed with by making people inhuman.
Some members (Sekot) can easily be made ageless undead monstrosities. Hell, you can use the folly to explain things such as undeath.
