Now hiring Quest Designers [WE'RE STILL HIRING - Apr 25th]

[Xeldan]

Shards of Dalaya is looking to add Quest Designers to its QD team to assist in the creation of quests for the game world for both new and old content alike. The quests will range from low level starter class quests, to high-end quests that take players on adventures through multiple zones and possibly require them to tackle some of the harder content in the game. If you're the kind of person that likes writing a captivating story and sharing it with the playerbase through a compelling quest series, then you may be the right person for the job.

There are some requirements that you'll need to meet for the position, and are as follows:

• You should be able to write a compelling story and background on the NPC's involved in your story/quest(where needed).
• You must have a firm grasp of the English language. Correct spelling and grammar are very important in the design process of a quest.
• You must be able to write at least one quest per week. This includes all NPC and item design, as well as dialogue and scripting.
• You must be willing to work on quests you're asked to create when a need arises for a certain area of the world to have quests created for it.
• You will need to learn the basics of the quest scripting language we use for Shards of Dalaya, and how to prepare the scripts for implementation. This is a fairly simple language to learn, and most of it is straightforward. Knowing how to write the scripts for your quest will speed up the implementation process tenfold.
• You must be able to weave your quest into the lore of Shards of Dalaya. It is very important that you follow the lore of the world that is already laid out. NPC's with side stories are great, but they must make sense within the overall game world.
• While not a requirement, having played on Shards of Dalaya is a plus, as you should already have a grasp of the lore of the world.[/list:u]
