Quest-free Zone?

As a relative newby to this world, I've been having a ball interacting with the other players, as well as gradually expanding my travels.

I have noticed however that I am yet to find one single quest? The only one that seems available is the Goblin quest, which still seems broken (I've now dumped about 3 heads on the floor!).

Am I missing something? Is this intentional? I was extremely surprised when I traveled to Aram (a long way for little legs) and failed to find even one quest?

I'm looking forward to some feedback, from DMs and players!

The server is still in it's infant stage. They may come with time however I tend to dislike scripted quests compared to DM'ed quests that we have oh so gotten use to having, so I believe we're spoiled already.

I'd say just hang in there Reddy, things are happening all the time and you can also make your own quests up to entertain yourself if you require it (the xp and gp reward won't be the same but the RP reward might be better). I know me and err someone have been etertaining ourselves with our own sort of games/quest/somethings. All you really need is a PC that doesn't hate your guts and some random idea of fun.

Squeak.

Its true, you can have lots of fun with a bit of imagination and an, um, eager accomplice.

Squeak, has it right, we are still taking baby steps and growing. Quests are ont he slate for development but we are looking at making them richer and more real for people. There is so many times you can collect type quests.

The DM's are currently adding the richness via in game, rp style events and over time the quests will flow in. I expect to see a lot more appearing after, we move to CEP2v2 and new haks are floated to the players.

That's all fine- I guess I was used to Melni, and often was soloing, whereas here there are more lower levels so plenty of people to party with.

I've done two Saturday nights and they've been great - brings back memories of "The Gates of Myth Drannor" which I did through the NWNDownunder gang.

Had an explore last nigh and met a few Ogrillion - first time - tough to solo but i made it!

So the bottom line is I'm looking forward to joining you all for some fun!

*points to the Roll Call thread*

Then sign up my fine fellow! Harmless and non-deadly fun *cough, cough* will be the order of the day!

OK, so I've gone exploring - and now I'm in Hartwood!

Have i gone too far away from the populated world? Twas fun to walk here.

I wouldnt say its "too" far...

From my experience, the server at this stage of development is like a stage set up for player RP. Once you get beyond a few areas from Stormhaven, there isnt really an active "populated world", more like a setting waiting to come alive - the players and DMs are the interesting points outside of Stormhaven.

My advice is to treat it as sightseeing

There are a few 'monster' areas around there or a few maps back if you explore abit

Hartwood? Where the frek is that ...

*logs in for some DM exploration time*

That explains why the server just went down. Also Hartwoods a nice place, also has a few interesting shops around the place.

As for it being to far out, it most certainly is I've never once seen another player there while I'm there.

*releases his patent on the word "frek"*

Hartwood is cool and will be great when finished some of the more challenging encounters and loot lie near there.

*smacks dances and makes a shushing noise*

Hartwood is a nice spot and only 4 maps away from things that will kill an unprepared PC in about 10 seconds .

Enjoy your exploration

[EDIT]: Or was that 3...

You do realise that Torch has infected half the server with frek now? It's everywhere!

I"m sure I've heard NPCs use it.......
