Transcendents - basically the world doesn't know how to run itself so it needs people to manage Light, Life, and Time for it. To explain where these other worlds are coming from (the new ones that new classes have been coming from), Nexon added the concept that "a world that loses all its Transcendentalists will seek out to merge with another world to stabilize itself".

FriendStory is an alternate reality that is very similar to our world (so Nexon can make jokes like "Thanks Obama!" ), and also the events of FriendStory happened because the White/Black Mage of that reality is kinda becoming evil too.

It sounds a little weird but you have to remember this is a game so it doesn't need to make complete sense.

I think they're trying to concept the original explorers and we make our own story

Friendstory is supposed to be like an alternate universe (our universe) that doesn't have magic and stuff

Transcendents are needed to maintain worlds i think

Empress is gaining power

Blackmage broke the seal

Blackwings are defeated

They're attempting to expand the story without technically changing the original story line. Perhaps the game lasted longer than they had planned.
