I like the term you've used: clues. I think that is part of the key. Games, especially MMORPGs are interactive media. Getting the player involved in discovering the story, rather than just be told the story is the way to go. And that's a good post, worth checking out.

So that the text people get doesn't explain everything that's going on, they just help you glue together all of the clues you've been picking up along the way.
