I would be very interested in writing quests and lore, but I dont have the time to be fully into it. (I have school and work) maybe there a way for us to submit our ideas/quest/story lines to you and you take a look at them and if you think they are good to implement them? Or maybe for the people interested in helping you give them invidivdual tasks(maybe u want a storyline for a class epic or something etc.) I have tons of great ideas that i could give out but i cant go FULL time into it. Like i would be able to submit a great quest. Maybe give us some ideas on what tyep of things you ar elooking for? like what class quests u want or weapons items etc.
Cause if you want a quest for a caster robe i need to develop it around making it etc or discovering where it is and a story behind it. same goes for a warrior weapon etc etc.

Let me know what you think wiz. cause im really interested in submitting some quests.
 
Lol it is, i just speed type plus im in class. obviously if im writing a story i would ocncentrate on it alot more :p. I just type fast and sometimes one hand goes faster than the other and it gets all typod. I was being fun of cuz i had a typo wher eevery letter in a word wa isn the wrong spot but all the letters belonged in the word :/ i just get ahead of myself with 1 hand lol
 
Late reply, I know. But we're looking for Quest Designers for everything from beginner quests to flesh out cities that may still need quests added, to higher level quests. So essentially, submit whatever you're interested in designing. It's important to note that any Quest Designers added will need to be active, because we're really wanting to increase the rate content is pushed out, back to a similar rate that it was at in May-June.
 
can u give us a clue like what kind of quests your looking for? like starting place or for what classes cause i can probably think of some good lore to the quests dont know much about coding it tho :/ i can probably design it like the story mobs items etc. . but codign no clue
 
You'll need to learn the scripting gradually if you're brought on as a QD, but for the application itself focus on the actual story and details of the quest rather than concerning yourself with the scripting.

As for what kind of quests? There's room for new quests everywhere - take your pick. If you like a specific area of the world or some part of the lore that you think a quest would mesh well with, then dig in and see what you can come up with for your app. Basically, part of the application is seeing how creative you can be, so I'd like to get an idea of that rather than telling you what to write.
 
one last question, for a reward of the quest do u want us to design the stats of the reward, like i coudl provide the difficuly level of the quest but would u rathe rleave the stats of the reward to someone else to make it balanced with other items? im working on a qquest now but dont know if u want me to throw in the stats of the reward
 
Why did you resurrect this thread?

We're still looking for QDs, scroll up to the announcement.
