Completing Quests back in the day with resources
Edit Title - withOUT resources.
If you actually read some of the dialogue with NPC's for quests, most of 'hints' they give for the items they need are so vague, so back when this glorious game started, how long did it take for people to complete quests and more importantly hard quests? Some examples are epics, VP key...I could see people spending months if not a year just to find the pieces. Like the first people to discover and kill PS...that must've took forever considering how rare they are. Or picking up artifacts at a random location in swamp or OT. Anyone have real experience when EQ, Kunark, Velious started because by the time I played, ZAM was my resource.

Well, still unsolved quests on live 15 years later, so some take a very long time (in 2008 or so a 9 year old quest was solved when they revamped the tradeskill recipe lists - some quest from Kunark I believe)

I heard GBS is part of an unsolved quest...wonder what item that would give.

By the time epics and VP rolled around I think ZAM was already established
I started from March 18th 1999 and many people couldn't even get out of their starting towns, much less comprehend how to do the harder quests. Some quests were also bugged and NPCs would eat your items, so a lot of people didn't even bother until later on, when information for doing the quests was usually passed down in guilds. | ||

To this day I've always wondered how The Oblong Bottle was first found. It's a part of the rogue Burning Rapier quest. The item is a ground spawn on the bottom of the Ocean of Tears.
I just found an old Safehouse post where the guy that found it explains how he did so. Pretty cool stuff. Quote:

Fully documented that there were many broken/unsolved quests in game from era.

I remember when the game came out I couldn't even figure out how to scribe spells. And my laptop at the time that had a separate external CD-Rom to install the game with Dial-Up internet could barely run the game and I didn't know the gibberish above my character was actually text and my name.
So long story short, the first people to do quests... Kind of blew my mind.
