Actaeon

Let's take a moment to all acknowledge how profound this sentence is.

Ah okay. I suspect I probably won't have that much time at least until next summer. I can start planning for it pretty much any time though

Can someone host a quest and participate in a different quest at the same time?

Actaeon looks at Dragonlord as he speaks, "I apologize for our tardiness," he says. Turning toward Diana, he continues, "The mist made it difficult to locate you." Turning back to Dragonlord, he finishes, "We are indeed ready for this quest. You spoke of a threat to your homeland, I am deeply sorry. What is this threat? And more importantly, how can we aid in its removal?" OOC: Yes, I can assure you I am undoubtedly as excited as you

Still, I'm quite satisfied for now! We'll just have to see how things go.

That's cool! How often do quests give these titles?

I just noticed that 9 players have "A hero who is actually worth something" next to their pictures in hero statistics. What's the reason? Is this from a special quest or something?

I didn't want to waste your PM space, so I'll just say it here. Thanks so much for letting me be the party leader I can't wait for this quest to begin!

Actaeon has to keep himself from sprinting to the board when he sees Dragonlord post the list of chosen heroes. He waits a moment before approaching the board, his entire body tense. Actaeon grins, trying to contain his joy. Dad will be so proud when he hears! After a moment of looking at the board, he heads toward a table in the corner of the room and takes out his notebook. He quickly writes a note to his father. "Dear father, I have some excellent news! I have been selected to lead my very first quest! I'm afraid I cannot provide you or mother (not that she would care) with details, but I will try and stay in contact throughout the quest. With love, Actaeon" He prepares the letter for mail and puts it away. My moment has finally come.

Interesting! I have to say that I'm not surprised about the last statistic. It's good to get a solid range on the levels, though!

Actaeon whistles. Those must be some very important documents! He considers putting his name down. No, he finally decides, I think I will wait until I know whether or not I made it into the other ones.

Oh, man. I got excited for a second

Somehow I doubt Sandy would be too happy

Wait, does Heroica generate revenue? It makes sense, as it had given Eurobrick 1m+ views.

So basically: shake it up a bit I think that what you said made a lot of sense. I think long quests are awesome and I would love to go on one. I also think short quests are needed for the new guys for reasons I mentioned above. I have a decent collection. I'd be happy to help build. I'm probably not as skilled as many builders, but if you want, I can help you. It would be great experience for me to see what goes on to make a quest

After I participate in a quest or two (or maybe a lot more, we'll see), I will definitely be interested!

Meh, worth it anyhow. I am looking forward to hosting

Quick question, somewhat related. Other than the fun and thrill of it, do hosts get any type of in-game reward?

I would love to host a quest. Unfortunately, I won't be able to for a long time. No all interactions in the hall have to be bar fights. Every opportunity I've had in the hall, I've taken. My character isn't the bar fight type. The problem I faced with the hall was that I had no idea where to start. All the experienced players talk among themselves, and it's hard to jump in a conversation between "old friends". The best thing that happened was when someone approached me in the hall. I was so excited, I sat there for like 5 minutes racking my brain and looking at my notes to see EXACTLY what Actaeon would say. That said, I think the hall would be better off if some of the more active members started conversations or just had some sort of interaction between the young members. Us newbies are too intimidated to start talking to you guys :P

It wouldn't be mandatory. Just something players could do if they wanted some experience, or even a little bit of gold. I guess it is chance, and I think I had pretty bad luck on that one. Still, though, do you see what I mean about the level 1 players who never went on a quest?

As a new player, I think I can give some incite. The first thing I noticed was how amazing this game looked, how complicated it was, and how I could not wait to get on a quest. The second thing I noticed was that no quests were currently available. I was disappointed, but I asked around and found out that there were two upcoming ones that I would maybe be able to participate in. Eventually the quests sign ups were posted, and I was super pumped. Then, I realized that it wouldn't be for another month until it began. I was so disappointed. I'm sure I'm not the first player to be upset with how long it took to get rolling. Basically, I'm just affirming that, yes, it is moving slowly. I think if I wasn't so into RPG games and such, I wouldn't have waited for a month or two. All this is assuming that I actually DO get on one of the quests. I'm sure some people have waited as long as I have only to get cut from the quest. I would imagine that you guys have lost potential members just from the wait. How many level 1 heroes do you guys have that never went on a quest? I'm guessing at least half of that was just from waiting. I know I'm new, but I do have one suggestion as to how this could be fixed. Have a permanent quest like The Fields of Glory, only make it for level 1 people. Something that they can join that will be quick, (maybe 2 weeks) just so they get a feel for it, and so they aren't waiting around for a long time. It gives them experience before they go into a real quest, and they don't grow to restless and/or just forget about the game completely.

Though I'm clearly not qualified to join the quest, I will definitely follow it!

It's cool to think that someday I can say I've been here for 3 years. It seems like a long ways off, but I remember joining MOCpages nearly 4 years ago, and it seems like it was so recent!
