Scripted quest restrictions

[Jasede]

This has happened to me 50000 times:

I join a quest in character, only to find out I didn't remember the actual min-max levels for that quest. And neither did anyone else.

Happens a million trillion times. Every day. A list would help forgetful veterans.

IMO, a quest list is a good idea...
 
Everybody metagames OOC info (me included), from which type of PC to create to go with that awesome new perk, to not going on certain quests without certain types of PC classes (I love the, "we could use somebody good with locks" type sendings<Can you say metagaming knowing there are locked chests in that quest?). Hearing 'FOIG' gets old after a while for things that you know other players are metagaming into each PC they create (summoning/recipes/quest locations and difficulty/etc) and you cant do it because you haven't FOIG yet. But once we do of course we all do the same thing, meta OOC info.. And DM's can watch all they want, unless they see a 2nd level PC creating something outrageous, how would they know? Rhetorical question, they wouldn't.
 
So unless you're willing to force peeps to create complete random rolled PC's from stats to class to perk, then what's the big deal about the most basic of quest info out there that can be had by right-clickin on a description box? It's not like it's some big secret recipe to summon undead giants ffs.
 
Personally I'd rather be able to hit every quest in game once than hit the same couple quest over and over again because I didnt find a quest until I was to high a level to take it or some such sillyness.

I don't have one anymore, but I didn't make much a secret that I have had these in the past for both efu and efu:a. Most of the time the Veterans know these by heart and do not need lists, which is basically why I don't bother writing them down anymore. If I don't recall what the quests levels are I send [tells] to a couple people asking them or ask irc.

I do believe the best in character response to the OP's issues regarding such events would be to explore to the quest, talk to the quest giver, and THEN turn around and gather up a group to delve in. However that can be potentially lethal and time consuming if the primary aim was to have some fun breaking into a quest and getting some loot. I've done it both ways, and certainly found myself barred from quests I was leading before.

Anyway I still have this from old EFU. Figure it serves my point without being spoilerish. I will note, that this was not 100% finished, and various ones were changed/removed/added even since this was made--but that should be pointless considering nearly all of these no longer exist.

So many memories. So much lost. :(

[Professor Death]

I've been thinking about this one and decided I am supportive. I've been here for five years and done tons of quests and STILL get messed up. There are several times I've gathered a quest group and headed out only to find that either the level cap has changed (e.g. Wolves) or the minimum number of PCs has changed (e.g. Shadow canyon).  A definitive list would certainly be helpful.

Enjoy.

The list still requires for you to find them IG though.
