This is worth seconding. The backstory is that someone (in this thread, IIRC) tried to play the staff's unclassic server-first game by saving up a bunch of quest items, so that they could hit 60 the fastest when Kunark dropped.

The staff got wind of this, and was offended that someone would use such cleverness to play the game (that they made up), so in response they unclassically disabled quest XP (in the actual game) across all servers for over a month ... and then when the quest came back, some had been significantly reduced.

However, you have to remember the staff had over ten years to "beta-test" those quests, so even after their month-long review it turned out ... the quests were mostly pretty accurate. So, only a few quests changed ... but aside from the most well known (gnoll fangs and tesch val scrolls), it's not clear which were nerfed.

Ergo, you want to take any reports on the wiki of "X number of Y item turn-ins gave me Z bubbles of experience" with a grain of salt.
Someone in this thread? I wasn’t aware that Castle 2.0 was in this thread
