[Question] Valentines Day quest with web elements?

01/14/2011 17:55 .Beatz#1
Hey guys, I am working on a new Valentines Day quest (Sql based) and was wondering what peoples views are on it.

Do you think this is a good and original idea?

The web based part is not very long just a simple question and form to fill out. Without it you cant proceed to the next part of the quest.

Dont worry this is not a NPC - NPC - Web - NPC - Quest done job either, there is fighting and puzzle solving also.

If enough people like this idea and want to see the finished product I will happily release it before valentines to give people a chance to add it to their source.

There's nothing wrong with incorporating web elements into quests but there needs to be a REASON for it...

You haven't explained what the quest is so it's hard to say if a web element would work well with the quest or not.

Personally I support the idea of incorporating web elements with certain quests when there is a need to record player opinions or as an alternative, gain server votes. As actual content for the quest though it doesn't seem like a very good way of doing things.

The reason I haven't explained what the quest is because I havent done much to it apart from the main functions of the web elements and 1 NPC to start the quest.

I was thinking about maybe the web element doing something to another character... e.g Heaven Blessing or something else.

Plus I am going to make the web element incorporate special messages (to a loved one in game or out) Obviously these messages can be whatever you like and could be totally annonomus. Or something along those lines.

Once I have worked more things out then I will update this thread and keep everyone posted and if people have any ideas it would help as well.

Quick update...
I am following the old story about Saint Valentine and The Jailers Daughter, so most people should be able to understand where the quest is going with that in mind.
