There is an recruiter in each camp if you want more information about the fight. You can talk to them and they will tell you stuff like an oracle.
The event will not cause your shard to go spinning off in a particular direction that other shards aren't going. You think it takes a long time to make content now? Imagine if each shard was different.If Hawkeye takes the time to do that, will these recruiters answer his questions in the OP? I wouldn't blame him if he had you keelhauled if the pirate trudges through the desert and finds no answers when you could do it here.
Just sayin'
Even if you can't give out details and spoilers, a yes or no would be good.
"Yes, this arc will have long term effects on your own shard history with reguards to future storylines, arcs, how your character is treated in certain lands or by certain monsters/npc's, etc..."
or
"No, when we turn it off, you will have had something to kill time and you'll have a trunk or two of item specific loot to remember it by. Then everything goes back to the way it was."
It would suck if all it really lead to was...well, like now, every once in a while I will hear a newer player ask "Hey, why is there a pale green statue of a lizardman on a pedestal on the way to the Brit Bank? That's kinda weird...".
The long term goal for loyalty is to make "killin stuff" more interesting. Loyalty basically unlocks and locks content. It's also a way of defining your character. It doesn't mean a lot if you go around saying you are a defender of virtue or evil but never make the tough choices. At one level, it's just a new way to be killin' stuff. At another level some races hate you and some love you. To that extent you shape your shard because "I can't go into that area without being heavily armed because those dudes hate me." Or, "Most people can't go there without being heavily armed but I sleep there because I'm their friend."
