How a game can develop an In-Game History

Playing games that allows you to make an empire , ally with other empires, and fight with other empires with enough time and people will develop a history,
In KAG this exists, but is subtle,
In the KARPS roleplaying server a war commenced when dwarves were building on elven land , the ruins of that war can tell a rich story , one of which I can tell if asked, the ruins of that war left the entire elven land completely destroyed except for a stone building from the dwarves the human stronghold was eradicated the dwarven stronghold was taken out and blocked in by wood.
In Shores of Hazeron there is a VERY VERY rich history.

How players interact and don't follow rules can leave good games in ruins, being picky about who joins is not a bad idea, but it also leaves a land of ruins , of which new players can see and avoid mistakes.

 

Haven and Hearth had multiple worlds/world wipes, and had major factions from what I remember. Don't play it anymore. They actually keep track of everything that everybody does, if it's a large enough crime deed to get noticed by the majority.

TL;DR version:
uSerious?

 

Hey, I remember worrying about mudflation, don't you worry! :P

 

I remember shores of hazeron.
Too bad it was so laggy I couldn't bother finishing the tutorial.
