I really think the management should consider implementing these quests...would make things a whole lot more interesting and will attract more players too.

Most MVP's don't really have a storyline. There are few though, like in Einbroch there's a slight storyline for ungoliant, however I've never heard anything about RSX. Nothing for Samurai, Tanee, Tao,or most of the MVP's for that matter. Gravity seemed to have started to think about the storyline only around episode 10. Most quest arcs got started at around 10.1-10.4 and finished on 11.3. Prior to that there really wasn't much of a sotry except "This village was peaceful until people heard strange nooices from the cave. It seems that monsters have invaded the caves and there's a big boss at the bottom who controls them"

As for implementing all the quests. That's the hard part, some quest require special things and script commands that GM's either don't know or cna't do with current zone server. Also there's the fact that you have to code up every single thing. Every line of dialog, every event, every mosnter spawn, etc etc. And it jsut takes huge amounts of time.

Alot of the "Backstory" has todo with legends, and myths.

For example:

Bacsojin/White lady:

Once upon a time, in the Louyang mountains, there was a white snake, and a green snake. Long time friends, they lived for many centuries together happily, spending most of their days in quiet meditation. Over time, their spiritual powers grew, until one day, they gained human form. The white snake changed into a beautiful lady, named Bai Shu Zhen. And the green snake also became a lovely maid, named Xiao Qing, or Ching Ching. Enthralled by their new forms, and desiring to make the most of them, they began to journey together around the countryside, exploring all the many things they had never seen before.

One day, they happened upon a vast, secluded lake, and were attracted by the beauty of the scene. As they dallied on the shore, enjoying their breathtaking surroundings, a young man came over the Duan-Qiao bridge. His name was Xu Xian, a poor herbalist healer, and owner of a small herb shop. Though he was young, roughly attired, and coated in dust from the day's travels, Bai immediately fell in love, and was unable to speak. To help her sister, Ching Ching concocted an elaborate scheme. Using her magic, she set a trick to let it rain within their immediate area, and the two took to a tree for shelter. Xu Xian opened his umbrella as the storm began, continued on his way, eventually nearing the tree. When he saw them, he offered his umbrella to the hapless young women, and asked them where they lived. Spying a nearby boat, Ching told him they lived on the other side of the lake.

Xu Xian smiled, relating that he lived with his sister's family on the shore of the same lake, and so called to the boatman to come ashore. Upon his arrival, Xu Xian paid him and asked him to ferry the two ladies to their destination, and himself home. On the boat, they continued to speak, the two sisters aquainting themselves further with the young man, much to Bai's bashful contentment. When the boat made its first stop, the rain had yet to wane or perish (so skilled was Ching Ching's trick), and so Xu Xian told them to keep the umbrella, and he would come back for it the next day. Once again on top of the moment, Ching Ching covered for the modest Bai, and told Xu that nearby there was a red mansion, which was their home. The two ladies debarked from the vessel, and watched the young man leave.

Once her senses were regained, the bashful Bai found herself with quite a task before her. Summoning up all of her magic, she worked tirelessly throughout the night, creating a great red mansion that would please her suitor. The next day, Xu arrived there as promised. Though he had only come to retrieve the umbrella, the fiesty young Ching invited him in to visit, seating him opposite the tired and quite bashful Bai. Ching Ching made he and Bai tea, and they exchanged further pleasantries, conversing happily on all manner of topics. All at once, Ching asked Xu whether he had married. Quite confused, the young man replied that he had not, and Ching told him that Bai was also unmarried. Quite cheerily, then, she suggested they two get married. Taken somewhat by the young woman's charms, and at ease by the splendor of her mansion, the young man accepted. Several days later, the three-attendee wedding ceremony was on, officiated by the monk Fa Hai, of Louyang Pagoda. Though he conducted the ceremony peacibly, Fa Hai sensed something was amiss, and recognized what Bai was. However, bound by the sanctity of the ceremony, he was unable to speak up at the time.

After the marriage, the trio moved into the main city of Louyang, where Bai provided her husband with a medicine shop, and joined him as a healer. She used her magical powers so that all medicines became especially potent, and the business, in consequence, prospered exceedingly. The poor young herbalist soon became famous throughout the land, aquiring great wealth through his apparent skill. As his fame grew, it once again attracted the attention of Fa Hai. Travelling to the herbalist's shop, he warned Xu Xian that his wife was a snake. He suggested to Xu a way to see Bai's real self: three sheets of blessed paper, which would reveal her true form on contact. The young man solemnly agreed. However, when he administered the test that night, Bai's magic skill proved stronger, and turned the blessed sheets into ordinary ones. Xu Xian begged for her forgiveness, yet she did not anger. Instead, she simply asked Ching to watch for the monk, and keep him away.

The old monk was not easily defeated. Again visiting Xu Xian, he begged him to become his disciple, insisting that both Bai and Ching were snakes. He then offered another test, that Xu should try to feed Bai traditional wine on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Xu threw him out of his shop. Yet, he could not silence his own doubt. And so, in an effort to quell it once and for all, he carried out the test. Though the lady was reluctant at first, Xu insisted it was tradition, and offered her the wine.

Bai did not want to disappoint her husband, and thought she still could control herself. She agreed and finished a cup of wine easily. But then Xu asked her to take a second cup. Upon draining the cup, Bai fell seriously ill. She rushed to the bedroom and begged Xu not to come in. When he insisted on entering to bring her medicine, Xu Xian saw her in her old form in the bed. On seeing a giant white snake where his wife should have been, the young man simply died of fright. When Bai recovered her human shape, she was grief-stricken to see Xu lying dead on the floor. However, Ching reminded her of the magic herb Lingzhi, which had the potential to save him. At once, Bai flew to Kunlun Mountains, where she was stopped by a group of fairies. Determined to save her lover, she risked her life to fight with the fairies, and was saved by Yamyria. Moved by her brave and true love, she gave Bai the Lingzhi and let her go.

The life of Xu Xian was restored. As he awoke, he suddenly remembered what the monk had said to him. After all this, Bai knew she could no longer conceal the truth. She confessed to her husband what she really was, the circumstances of how they had met, and begged him for his mercy. Xu was deeply moved, and vowed that he would remain with her for all the rest of his days.

Yet again, however, Fa Hai would not be denied. One day, while Xu Xian was out collecting wild herbs, he was kidnapped by Fa Hai. To separate him from his demon wife, Fa Hai forced him to become a monk. When they learned what had happened, Bai and Ching immediately rushed to Louyang Pagoda, and begged Fa Hai to let the man go. Fa Hai would hear nothing of the sort. He and his disciples then attempted to drive the two serpents away. Left with no alternative to quell her anger, Bai used her magic to summon a vast army of underwater creatures to attack the monastery, and called up a great torrent of water to flood the temple. Fa Hai countered with a magic outer vestment, causing the mountain to grow so that the water was kept beneath it. As Bai strained to try and overwhelm him, however, she went into labor. She lost control of her magic, and the waters overflowed into the villages nearby, killing countless people. Ching Ching could do nothing to aid her, except to retreat to the shore of their beloved lake. Meanwhile, Yamyria released Xu Xian from the temple, and brought him to the forest.

Soon Bai gave birth to a boy, and asked Ching to bring him back to Xu, so that he could raise him. Fa Hai and his disciples soon arrived, demanding that Bai submit to the will of the gods. So soon after giving birth, Bai was still weak, and could not recover her magic powers. She had no choice but to accept, and let herself be absorbed into Fa Hai's alms bowl. Fa Hai would then seal that same bowl within the flooded recesses of the ruined pagoda, trapped beneath the earth, safely away from mankind.

Ching Ching followed Bai's orders, bringing the young boy to his father. However, she would not accept Bai's fate, and so spent many years in dedicated training. She eventually returned to challenge Fa Hai, and beat him soundly, forcing him to retreat into the stomach of a giant crab. That is why the internal fat of the crab is of orange color, which resembles the color of Fa Hai's Taoist robes.

Set free from her prison, Bai Shu Zhen rejoined her husband and child, and lived happily ever after.

[Aozora]

What Axel said it's true, a lot of the thing have to do with mythology from various countries.However there is no actual storyline told in the game for most of them.

As for samurai, I'm not sure but it can refer to Amatsu-Mikaboshi
