For a while I've wanted to set up a sort of questing system for this RPG. I've been working on something that can utilize things in the game that aren't really used right now, like classes and levels. I also have another objective. Some of these quests would require more than one person, meaning working with people or asking others to join you. My point for posting this is, would anyone be interested in doing quests at all?

My thoughts are that quests would be initiated by a player and then the GM staff (via an NPC account) would help push the player's quests along by whatever means. Essentially, the quest could be different for each player. Quests do not necessarily need to happen with a player's current storylines; you can make them happen whenever you see fit. As we all know, things are not always linear in the world of RPing.

So here's some silly examples:

Quote:

Thoughts?

I would enjoy doing it, wonderful idea.

Can you dig it?!

Yes, yes I can

Whats this Word count thing? Is it a restriction that you have to have at least 1000 words to qualify? or something else?
