    Can I put some suggestions here regarding the rebuild?
    Actually scratch that I'm just gonna do it :ROFLMAO:

    In the old adventure game we basically have 2 kinds of quests, kill stuff and collect stuff. There's... no rationale whatsoever. Like, why people need to kill 15 Kobolds over and over. Goblin Slayer would not be happy with how he clears an area of goblins just for them to pop back in the next day for other adventurers to mess with. Also adventurers are essentially mercenaries and thus need a trusty reason to dive themselves out in the wild.

    So I propose these:

    1. Flavor text
    Some simple descriptions like "goblins set up a camp near my field, kills them off" or "I got sick, help me gather these stuff" or "this area is relatively safe, but sometimes a certain stronk monster can show up" are fine, it adds more to the world building.​

    2. More quest types/variety
    Quest types:​
    • Permanent quests: gather as much herbs as you can, hunt certain beasts for meat...
    • Daily quests: a rotation of a set of quests, or quests that can only be taken and done only in a certain day of week
    • Limited time quests: completely up to the guild staff, it could be anything, like a dragon pops up and needs to be deal with in 2 days, or a festival is coming up tomorrow but the main actor got ankle sprain and need a substitution
    Variety: gathering, extermination, escort/bodyguard, delivery, cleaning, customer service, crafting, repair, construction work, tailing/stalking, mystery solving or random craps like help lining up for a new hot product.....​

    3. Effect on the world
    If a quest is not taken or taken but completed in a strange direction it could affect other quests. Like over-gather herbs could lower the rewards for them afterwards. Or a village is erased from the map since nobody takes care of the monsters there. Or quest difficulty raises since it's more dangerous around the area.​

    4. Quest restrictions
    Certain quests need certain items/restrictions to deal with and they should not be easy to obtain/protect/cleared. For example an intelligent holy sword that only response to underage girls. This to prevent curbstomp in high rank quests. I mean we have universe busters in the guild :ROFLMAO:

    5. Nominated quests
    This is not really important but I may as well put this here. This is the extreme version of limited time quests, which requires certain individuals to complete. Or, the quests have too much of the effect on the environment but have been stayed up for too long without taken, so just give it to a certain trusted (active) adventurer. With no prior notice to add to the fun.​

    I think I read too much isekai
    Gotta cure myself off chuunibyou

    Daily quests are nonsense with how long it usualy takes for people to complete quest. Few unique quests per week should have same effect.

    Nominated quest part sounds like fun. Extra rewards for such thing tho :D To make it worth~

    Daily quests aren't necessary to be done in the same day as it issues out tho. Just that it's a rotation, like every 10 days, every Sunday or such. Like a restaurant needs more ingredients and helpers on Sunday, or a merchant needs an escort trip (for several days) every 1st and 15th of a month. These are just permanent quests, but have restricted real world time for taken and/or reported and a bit higher rewards for the extra hassle.

    Well personally I just want more flavor text.
    Especially foreshadowing before a raid event (more quests at a certain area, monsters spotted at where they shouldn't be, etc..) :rolleyes:

    Not complete nonsense.
    Outside the scope of most, yeah, but some creatures I dare not to tag could actually pull off a 5k words report for daily quests...
    All in all, it's still an idea that could work (as it worked with AG at the start), but I do feel it's better not.

    Instead of that, I suggest we have an additional section under our signature, where we briefly summarize the changes each of us has made on the world. No need to follow the exact details, but at least bother to see what has been edited and what hasn't.

    We might also need Alice to update the wiki (assuming there's one) every week or so, so I suggest a few of us help so that she doesn't get overencumbered with the content.

    This is the same as a player finding a magical sword in the middle of a random herb gathering quest.

    Not really something we can control (unless they go reaaaaaaaaaally overboard with it), we can only encourage players to keep common sense-chan in mind.
    Justabot won't participate in anything.
    Quests being more relevant and having flavor is something we were already working in actually. I felt the same as you that AG quests are currently super bland and kinda lose their charm very quickly.

    Daily quests are unmanageable for staff because coming up with new quests daily would overemcumber us.

    Last time we made nominated quests we pretty much made two of our most active players kinda stop playing because they felt obligated to do a quest they totally didn't want to do... Don't wanna repeat that, so we'll most likely never do something like that again.
    Not yet, but hopefully revived by next week! ^^)/
    Yeah, some players could do it, but daily is a bit too much... The system will definitely be better than the one we currently have though! ^^)/
    One can exist I suppose, but I have no intention of creating it myself~
