| i wouldn't mind a combination of EQ like quests and WoW's. i really did like how obscure EQ's quests were. there was no, "okay, you gave me 3 rat tails now go visit so and so in kaladim for the next part of your quest." i like that you had to figure some shit out for yourself. i didn't like how lame most of the quest rewards were and i do think that some of the EQ quests were too obscure (as in, what the fuck do i do next?) but i like that i wasn't hand held through the entire quest.
one of my favorite quests was the staff of the wheel quest i did with my wizard. was long and hard but really fun to do and i felt really good when i completed the quest. i also liked finishing my epic. i like quests that give you a sense of accomplishment, as long as the reward at the end is worth it. i can't see why a next gen MMO couldn't implement a very unique and interesting quest system. maybe a few simple ones to start you off with when you're lower level but then gradually get more complicated and difficult to complete as you get higher in level. i don't mind a certain amount of collection quests, or kill mob "X" this many times quests, just give me some variety. i don't want to be doing those same kind of quests when i'm max level. give me something more challenging as the game progresses. |
