So i was asked to gather Data on Quests. Before i get to far ahead of myself i want to post what i've done so far.http://rapidshare.com/files/109693929/E ... t.rar.html
Thats what i've done so far. If you would like something else done, fixed in any way give me a heads up. Hope it's what yall were looking for.

Gods, I hate free file sharing sites. What was that? "4 letters with a <cat> in them"??? hah. man, I guess people abuse every system there is.
As for your data, the format looks good. Maybe an excel spreadsheet would make the info more importable (just my 2cp). Also, regarding "sub-quests", like The Art of Combat in your example. You have us starting with Murrar Shar with a quest entry to go talk to Hayl McGuinness. Can you think of how we might provide that hand-off from one NPC to another? Not so much on the dev side, but how to link that the Hayl quests are a part of the Murrar quest set, and Hayl's stuff cannot be started without talking to Murrar first. Maybe the Hayl quests have a "prerequisite" or something?
EQEmu uses quest global variables to track this. Not sure if EQ2Emu devs are considering the same concent.
Otherwise, looks like a good start. I like it.

lol Sorry about the free file sharing. I just wanted the simplest quickest way for me to upload something beforei crashed for bed.
Thanks for the info, i'll look into it. I'll work on a way to figure something out. Probably throw some questions out on the IRC and these forums.
Infact if anyone has an idea or tip i'd gladly appreciate it.
Also lol i like the excel idea... hmmm will see what i do with that.
THanks again Mr Adams.
::Edit::
ok now that i've looked back and thought about it, as far as the sub quests are concerned i'm wondering what can be done. I could seperate each thing make it it's own quest. Talk to this person. Ding new quest. Though I don't think or cant remember there being quest rewards for these subquests other then maybe a bit of EXP, which also has eluded me in my research as far as a numerical value. So if the majority of you all would like me to seperate it just tell me here i'll take care of that. I just want to make life as simple for you all as i can. Research is what i do. Coding, Programming, Modeling never learned it. Creative thinking comes once i get more of a handle on whats going on around me. For the most part this is all new to me.
