Objectives
Describe the objectives of the quest. These must be things that can be tracked in a numeric or Boolean manner. I.E. Do something 5 times or Go to this spot.

Accepting – What Happens?

What happens when a player accepts the quest? Does nothing happen and
the player needs to run around and complete the objectives? Do ten wolves
spawn and immediately attack the player?

Outcome – What Happens?

What happens when a player finishes the quest? Are you rewarded with
items, given new quests? Does a majestic eagle spawn and fly into the sunset?"
This is a real letdown. I was hoping for a more advanced questing system. It seems like it's more primitive than WoW's. For example, it doesn't sound like it could support escort style quests, or time limit quests.

When is someone going to apply some imagination to MMORPG quests? Where are the quests with branching objectives? Where are the quests that are more than just complete or uncomplete, but have variable rewards depending on how well you met the objectives?
