Unsolved quests: a can of worms, but maybe not?

[Simplistik]

Whistling fists, shackle and Cudgel quests were working when Kunark was released the Necromancer hat quest was not after the 7th + it was broken.

warrior pikes were also unfinished till after kunark too i believe... i could be wrong

Then I guess it answered your question? His classic quest was always unfinished, you could either turn in the Unrest book for a Golden Torch, or the Book of Scale for the Paladin epic.

They also implemented this quest that involves the oracle: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=2652

No wonder Jeremy is trying to sell his barb hammer.

Thanks, gonna tell my buddy about this.

reviving this a bit I guess...
I just started on p99 and from my early days of EQ i went around and hailed every NPC to gather information and lore and do even those most trivial of quests.
Although I know here on p99 they are focusing on staying true to old skool and even the timeline I would love to see more quests branching out from unfinished quests and rarer incomplete factions.
It is unnecessary for me to see some uber amazing stat item but rather to flush more out of the lore and have specialized gear based on the more rpish quests.

The information came from an interview with Abashi (who also once said that he considered getting a personalized license plate, but realized that if any players saw it, they would intentionally drive him off the road, he was that loved). I'll see if I can dig it up anywhere. That being said, shortly after he was replaced by Absor (SOL time frame IIRC) there was a patch that fixed hundreds of quests (including Shaky Scarecrow and the clockwork in Steamfont) meaning that if there really were thousands of undiscovered or unsolved quests, chances are very few actually worked.

I just read page one of this thread. Looks like it could be good, but I wanted to echo the sentiment of others: I never believed there was a single unsolved quest in classic ever quest.

I do believe many quests said to have been unsolved were broken, and then solved within 72 hours of the patch that fixed it.

Look how addicted we all are. We all knew people more addicted than us.

No stone was left unturned by the original 200k subscribers. I have no objective proof, but if someone had definitive proof sealed away to be shown in a week, I've got $100 that says all the original quests that were not broken were solved, and that any original quest that was broken was solved within three days of the fixing patch day.

As I used to say a lot in live, "Trust the dwarf."

EDIT:

Hah! I didn't notice how old this thread was! I do love when one of these comes up from the depths.
