New Feature! Quest System!

Last week after the massive Halloween event (read about it here), Fleep posted in his journal that something we've all been waiting for was about to be released. They just needed to test it.

So we speculated and waited with bated breath. There were threads a plenty trying to figure out what the super top secret new feature was going to be.

Fleep stopped by a few times...mostly to tell us that it was still being tested and we'd have to wait just a little bit longer. Eventually it came down to the end of this week (since MC's came out yesterday and that would have been was a glitchy mess. So today was the day slotted for release.

Then suddenly it appeared:

The little page popped onto our screens and screamed QUEST! Huzzah!

So it's finally arrived. The Gaia Quest system. Today's quest was basically just a test. It's set up to show newbies around Gaia in a fun and fruitful way. Moira (a Gaian NPC that runs The Durem Depot store) dragged us around by our ears, forcing us to change our outfits and buy new clothes! Some people found this upsetting and considered it a trick by the admins to make them give up their old Gaia mouths that no longer exist or clothing glitches. But of course, it was remedied by the attack of the mules.

The final part of the quest told us to head over to the Welcome to Gaia forums to say hello to the community. I guess they didn't consider the massive influx of "oldbies" making threads saying "For QUEST..Not saying Hello!" so eventually a sticky was made for questers who are not new to Gaia.

I'm super ENTHUSIASTIC (shout out to Ron) about the new quest system and can not WAIT for new quests. I think this is a wonderful addition to the world we call Gaia.

P.S. - As I post this message, the Quest system is currently down. Yes, I LOL'd too.
