No, I'm saying: This WOULD be awesome if you did another way.
And now I'm pissed off because you just pulled people from Earth to this world. That's just boring. :o
See it like this:
We have races from, what, five different worlds. Each one should be as historical and so forth as Earth.
But if we skip all those other worlds, we can make history for just one world. Easier, and much more logical.
And the technology thing would be averted too, if we just throw out the whole Earth and Elfland and Dwarfland and stuff scenario. It means we can write that history without constraints, like, "why are there no waffleheaters in the world when people from earth are surely going to bring the technology with them?" and stuff.
