To be fair, this was suggested by DMOE to in direct response to comments made about the Epic characters by their own players
It was postulated that the Epics should, by their nature, be known to anyone who has not " been living under a rock". Personally, I have played it that I knew of the Epics that had been discussed IC and no others, and this approach has been strongly argued against.
I think the point is that is needs to be one way or the other. Either our characters encounter these people in the course of play as normal, in which case many will be unfamiliar to us; or they are a known feature of the world, in which case basic information on them should be freely available as a player resource.
There are Epics out there that I don't know about as a player, so I cannot be expected to RP that my character knows about them!
