Thanks for making the new area Brad. Congratz, I look forward to more of your stuff. Makes the mud fun to see new and interesting ideas flowing.
I read through this whole thread and wanted to comment a few items.
Why cant a quest just toss out tasty prizes for everyone involved at least 1 time a year, why all the fuss about holding back it seems. Logging on, getting cremated, having a fun social time that results in a fun prize is ok to have happen. No one would be offended by that. It used to happen.
Seems taboo to hand out good prizes now.
Otherwise use the drachma system to continue to award and reward. Say a 30 person group gets a 50dr melting token. And leader, tank, and maybe an MVP gets an additional 25dr or something like that. Then keep the drachma shops fun, new, and up to date at least once a year.
That would work great too.
Akashas last big quest was awesome. Lots of dr with all the mini's and end quest if you participated in them all. Was exciting to log in.
Aaron ran a nice quest a few years ago, and let everyone pick an ingame item, nothing outrageous. That worked out really well too, no bitching and everyone got a comp towards a forge, reasonable needed item, hard spellbook etc. I picked an ivory torch, i still use it.
Fun Questing should be a part of the cycle of the mud. Its ok to hold Quests and give out prizes.
Thanks
