Seen as you asked why there are so few quests I'll let you know that it's because generally when quests are run, there are more people complaining about it being unfair in some way than give applause and gratitude to the member of staff that ran it.

Staff can't even run a no-teaming mosh anymore when there are 3-4 members of staff stood around enforcing it because there are still people cheating and then when they are removed complain they did nothing wrong and that the member of staff is cheating.

Would you want to run a quest when you are just going to make yourself more unpopular by doing so?

Staff is supposed to be liked??

Seen as staff get nothing out of anything they do but the satisfaction of giving enjoyment to others, I'd say that they would LIKE TO BE LIKED for their efforts. Whether they are MEANT to be, well yes I suppose, we are Meant to be here to help you in any way possible and make the game good for you and logic would tell me that if we could achieve the goals we MEAN to do then you would be MEANT to like us.

lass quest i saw was when cyric was around, like 2 weeks before he got fired. but i think there should be a lot more 1 time quests. some that take hours to complete, and some that just take 15-20 minutes, so that everyone has a chance at them

Why do staff give a d**n if players say they are cheating?

Or if players say something is unfair when really it wasnt its just stupid players B*tching and moaning because THEY didnt get the drop...

We need a staff member *God help me for saying this* like jurian, someone who cares little about what others think, but still gets the job done well. *In the jurian context of course referring to his 12 alt training group*

Staff worry too much about 'popularity' and far to little on what really matters.


P.S:None of the above statement was a dig at any of the staff about how they 'arent doing thier jobs'. I know each and every one of you does varying degrees of work. So my above statement has nothing to do with that.

Lightning Dragons Tooth? I owned that at one point.. it sucked though so I sold it lol.

Anyway, the only 'quest' I remember seeing was when Cyric said that sylvia (boss in scarlet daggers, not sure if thats the right name) had a bracelet of speed hidden somwhere. Me and Gouki spent ages running around there, till I eventually got it ;D Then gouki got pissed and tried to kill me lol

just wondering and maybe a bit off topic.

but what ever happened to the quest team?

Title: Re: I was thinkin (lol yes i can think  ;D )
Post by Oracle on 08/18/03 at 11:52:57
I'll try and find out tonight, wondering that myself. Krillick was the head of that I believe, don't know what has become of it now. I'd guess they would have the same attitude as staff thought that they just get dissed for it so why is it worth their while doing?

I'll try and find out when I see other staff tonight.

I was part of the quest team.

As far as I know, Krillick, Myself, and the rest of the team had designed a quest. JLH had made it clear to Krillick he didn't like the quest team idea. (this is not directly from JLH, so if it isn't true, correct me.) Once we had finished, a few members left. After awhile we all just stopped talking, then one day I asked Krillick about it and that was when I found out he was fired. Ever since then it's just been a forgotten thing on Nightmist.

I'd still like to be on it, as it was fun. The diversity in the group was cool, it wasn't just TR like everyone expects. There was DH and TR and I can't remember what Donut was then, but meh. If you get it up and running again, or if another staff would kindly take over where Krillick left off, I'd love to rejoin.

this also reminds me of the nm gazette newspaper thingy team?

what's up with that?

Title: Re: I was thinkin (lol yes i can think  ;D )
Post by Argus on 08/18/03 at 14:58:04
NM gazette was just something so that a few players got their own room in the building, lol, no one actually did anything, just a few select players got press passes and their own room.

Actually Rick... the Associated Press Office is for those of us who were picked to be part of the "Press Staff". Unfortuneatly, the idea never became a reality past the making of the office and the stories being submitted. It wasn't just a place to "have thier own room".

I believe the reason it never happened was due to Havanor's problems with his computer.

If it isn't happening anymore then it might aswell just be deleted.

After getting JLH to read this topic his reply was
JLH: no-one left to run it

Maybe is staff didnt make it so obvious who was running so much stuff they wouldnt get flamed?..im not saying it is right to flame them or anything, but really how hard would it be to just not tell anyone that you're running it and not mention anything about it to anyone....

There was a no teaming mosh not long ago and staffer threatend to get me a perm ban for yelling-
"o so 3 tr can sit in a square only hitting me and leaving one another alone and it doesnt matter but i get chewed out for hitting back when someone hits me just because there are other people hitting him?"

Which i think is BS and that they were being way overly defensive saying that i called them cheaters and stuff...some staff seem to get rather pissy w/o reason sometimes, i didnt say they were cheating for TR, i was intending to point out which people were doing it, but obviously it is no longer alright to say TR is cheating (by teaming in a no-teams mosh...not in any other way am i talking about this) w/o it being assumed you're saying staff is helping them do it....

A quest would be nice...maybe some new fun items and stuff..and not have them only appear 1 time every...long time..it'd be cool if there were a quest every month or so, and new items each time, cause it is kind of annoying that only a select few have all the shibby stuff that no one else does.
