A seeded story would be a good idea, but I think implementing
an actual storyline into the whole IOM would be a decent idea
too. However, I see hardly any story line, and the missions
sent into the IOM seem more like expeditions into the unknown,
with no storyline in sight. Perhaps, the chief administrator
of the IOM site, could add storylines into a predestined area
only he would know about, and the other players of IOM wouldn't
know (to add to the intrigue and mystery) I.e an example of this
would be.
Administrator places an event on section 13 of the map.
"character runs into a tribe of killer goblins!"
Player one steps onto section thirteen.
Admin delivers message stating that player one has run
into killer goblin tribes!
Now, player one must devise a way to escape from
the situation or end up an early demise, and get
kicked out of the game.
Well, anyway, this is just a suggestion of mine.
I haven't played IOM, so perhaps this has been
asked before, or might even be part of the whole thing?

Yeah, map undates would be nice. I don't own a
digital camera, so the proepect of me playing would
have to strike massive compromise on my budget (which
is so limited it's almost sad)
Anyway, that's my opinion. IMO.
Just my two brickz...
