The original Fiery Avenger quest. Fuck Brad, he argued this shit for years before coming clean.

Wow. For the most part I liked Brad's stubbornness over his "vision", but this stuff was the down side. He hasn't always been honest or fair - I remember one of the first players to attempt the Monk epic having their handin eaten by a bug, and then having the epic returned to him by a dev, and then subsequently removed again, I believe at the request of Brad. Eight months work lost due to a bug and Brad's inability to bend. The monk quit, as I remember.

If you had all the keys to Tower of Frozen Shadow on you at once, a mirror would appear to you and only you to the undiscovered 7th Floor.

There are many unfinished quests.

No there aren't. Maybe a handful at most, but more likely none. Whoever originally said that there were x unsolved quests was full of shit and just trying to nerdbait people. Pretty much all lore items are accounted for, being either for an identified quest or known to have no purpose. Every NPC has been hailed and all of its dialogue options thoroughly tested. It's really much like a puzzle: try every combination of everything and eventually you'll have gone through every possible option. There aren't hundreds of unidentified quest items in EQ, nor are there NPCs with mysteriously uncovered quests.

When I first started playing my cousin told me we couldn't leave Faydwer until we defeated a dragon. I scoffed at people trying to get me to go to Freeport with them, I wasn't about to get eaten by a dragon and lose my precious bronze armor someone gave me.

Actually there are, because the quests were broken heh.

True. And SOE made an official statement years ago, but they may have exaggerated/been screwing with us. This was OoW era I believe, and something like 2,000 quests that are uncompleted.

Unfinished, not unsolved.

Games riddled with half done quests that they either never got around to fully implementing or never fixed the bugs stopping them from being completed or continued.

Clockwork dragon. One if the gnomes just inside Ak'anon would talk about it.
What was the container from cracktusk for?

[Myth]

Oh and silent faction hits with Druids for killing bears...

I remember rerolling to a bard when EQ first came out, because everyone in Gfay was saying that when you hit 15 the bard guildmaster gifted you a set of bronze.

Was convinced it was true.
