Well, we all know the bulk of our player base is either:

A - Idling at NGH and chit chatting about their breakfast and or bowel movements...
B - Actually playing the game, but complaining about a particular boss already being claimed or not being in...
C - Not even bothering to log on...

I've been scrolling through some of the old quest items, seeing them gave me a sense of excitement and awe. "Wish I could get my hand's on a Rune Staff!" I'm not saying let's resurrect old quests either. But it's time that we focus on giving what little player base we have, something to do on a "Daily to Weekly" basis rather than waiting for special occasions such as Christmas or other big holidays. Doing so, we can get some nice items that we can hold on too for a bit, then after a week or so time, the item is stripped from the player who earned it, and back for the next person to earn (just a thought, can be reworked I don't care about that at all). We need to break away from habits such idling and boss hunting the exact same bosses every day. Giving our player base something to break away from such repetitive and remedial chores will better stimulate our current player base and may even attract more.

As for what kind of quests, I have no idea. I know how creative some of you can be and this is really a challenge for the older and more "outside the box type thinking" players to generate some new appealing stuff to do. I don't know about you guys, but some random quests to break away from a daily routine would be beneficial in my eyes. Flame away if you want, I know ideas have been suggested in numerous places. I just want to see what you guys have to say.

It would be really cool to see some fairly simple or longer running and difficult quests setup.
However, these can take quite a bit of work...and players often respond with negative attitudes when other people get their hands on shiney stuff. I think that would be cut down if the stuff was done more often, but then we might end up with too much stuff in-game...

It's all about balance. Halloween isn't ages off, eh?

You're right, it is about balance. The problem with quest items is that they can be easy to monopolize by your larger more powerful accounts, or the dude's who never take a break to eat/drink/sleep/get laid. If a system could be setup to similar things such as the Triplex Amulet or items of that nature, that could give even our exploring fun loving noobs (such as myself haha) a chance to earn some really good gear, even if it is just for a week. Halloween isn't ages off... but god forbid we have to wait for holidays. This is time where you're more likely to spend with family anyways. I just wanna bring back some fun into this great game. It's truly a shame to not seeing it thrive like it once did.
