Quests? Was ist das? What its all about???

Post by Calenleia »

Es wäre nett, wenn mir jemand erklärt was ein Quest ist, wie lange es dauert etc..... wie man sich verhält ;-)

Ich habe so etwas noch nie mitgemacht und brauche einfach mal ne Erklärung, DANKE!

-----------

I would like to know, what Quest means, how long it takes, and how to behave during it...

I never was part of one so I just need an explaination, thanks..

What a quest means, is that basically a GMs will break the day-to-day cycle by doing something.

Quests can be anything, from an attack by dragons, to someone finding a baby in the workshop.

You should behave similar to what you'd expect it to be... just roleplay along, and enjoy it :)

So it is just for one day? Or for weeks ?
Or does it change?

the GM is a person, so it lasts as long as he stays onlyne.

Activily, it'll last for a few hours, but some quests can expand for days (lyke the attack on trollsbane, or the time when trees took over)

You don't HAVE to be part of it, but if you come across it by accident, just enjoy it, no need to worry.

However, make sure to react in the same way your char would.

Quest's sind allerdings nichtnur Gm beschränkt, es gibt viele sehr gute Quests, die so auch von Spielern ausgegangen sind, hast du eine Idee für ein Quest, dann frag einfach einen Gm ob er dir hilft oder "zieh dein Ding alleine durch".

Usually, quests feature a series of problems and related goals. Quests require actions to be fulfilled, starting with simple tasks like "Take item A to person B to receive key C for door D behind which you can find item E. Bring me item E for a reward." or for the more advanced players something like "Build castle A for villain B in order to stop disaster C, afterwards find allies among D, E and F and force villain B to surrender his magical uber-item G to character H to save the world."

The duration of quests differ; some quests, like the drought-quest and the quest for the astral eye (ahhh, good old days!) took serveral months, including many side quests and featuring various sites and sub plots. Most quests take 1-4 hours, though.

The cults are quests. e.g. Nalzaxx's quest lasted nearly a year.
