Now, this is no biggy, but I sometimes wonder just how many times people can bring back Hashards pendant or clear out the Zorastryl residence and so forth, without it being ridiculous. Another server I played on once upon a time had quests that were doable only once, whether the server reset or not... I would think it would add a bit to the realism and would lessen the few cases of farming if quests like those were absolutely one-shot. Maybe up the reward a bit or something to make up for it being doable only once... Now, I have no idea how to do, I'd just like to suggest it  |

Now, I have no idea how to do, I'd just like to suggest it This is totally doable and many of our quest are one shot, or once per reset, that sort of thing. I doubt we will change these even though we have the capabilility. Maybe one day, but for now I don't see it as a huge issue. But hey, it's really up to the new management. I don't really see an issue though. |

Actually there have been a few such "once in a lifetime" quests on this server. You only need travel to Red Mist to hear of one such quest. The fab four, heh heh. Another that springs to mind is the lifting of the siege of Arabel. Likely there have been others that I have not been privy to know.

He's referring to scripted quests only being doable once, not DM quests.

It could be done, but at this point, I don't think it's that big an issue nor do we have enough scripted quests to justify doing quests just once in a lifetime (things would quickly get boring as we can't possibly keep up with dungeons productions to make things fun). Once per reset sounds fair at this stage.
