The Lore Nut in me is sad I rolled poorly on my Technical stat. I can write, but know nothing of coding.

It's actually not hard to pick up - I will be doing the implementation of this anyways. What we need is an attempt at the basic formatting and how to do the quests. We can do A LOT. :)

I am a fairly good writer, and while I've done a bit of scripting before and this looks VERY easy to pick up, I'm scared of making the commitment to help for fear of other games interfering.

Is there any way I can write quests with certain constraints so that your volunteer coders can easily put them together? I want to help, it's just learning the script syntax that's bothering me.

By all means - submit what work you can and we will edit/change it and use it.

My writing skills are not that good but if anyone has ideas but doesn't have the time to throw together the script feel free to pm me the details and I'll try and throw it together.

I'll attempt to write my own in the process but they'll probably be pretty generic :p

I have never coded in my life, but looking at the example quest would it be possible to simply edit some of the item IDs, chat messages and quest names and get a new quest though with the same sort of idea behind it (like more collecting quests)?

I have no experience but if someone would point me in a direction that would help me learn, I have tons of free time that I could spend learning and within a week or two I bet I would be able to start helping out with the quests.

I could probably contribute ideas, but not scripting prowess. So I may take Danda up on his offer.

Could towns buy quest NPCs, perhaps? A way to collect materials or complete work without requiring the presence of a leader online...

I'm also willing to learn.
@Kainzo

Got some spare time before school, as long as these can be done before the wipe, ofcourse :p

Okay, I see what you mean. It does look rather simple, just a lot of typing. Will get started on writing a quest chain for tutorial island once I figure out a couple more triggers/linking quests.

What kind of quests are you looking for/already have? I can go ahead and make the starting up quests that I was making with Citizens1.2 if you don't already have them.

Will be updating my quests on my github

If you want to see an example of a quest PM me, I'll give you a pastie link to another example. (It may be more advanced, so watch out!)
