History of the hidden forest, what's lead to the war between Lords of Chaos and Lords of Order, some explanation of where the deities and planar masters fall in their own loyalties, that sort of thing. The game begins with the chaotic frogloks ambushing you and clobbering you over the head, then you wake up in the Hidden Forest, are greeted by Queen Adrianne, and then... most of the plot just stops.
I would love to see the NPCs in the Forest & Vale be given some personality and history, rather than simply being there to perform a function. This quest seems like it might be a good way to start exploring some of that.
This is one of the best ideas I've read and it could be accomplished with Monster Missions.
I also would not mind seeing different types of rewards, I mean why does it only have to be one?? An augment is a good idea like the one mentioned that can be destroyed and just hail for a new one but why not also incorporate other aspects of the game that can also be included with the Monster Missions? My thoughts are, and yes I know most people hate this, but cultural armor. Have specific items drop in the missions that re needed for the combines and make them evolve like the cultural armor did on live when it got introduced with the different rankings. This could allow for some extremely nice gear for those that cannot donate and if it is in the form of a MM it could be a pickup group that does not require a large powerful guild (just some lucky dice on a roll)
This could be such a pain in the arse to develop and likely would take a lot of dedication to compile the entire history but it would be nice to see and it could be an awesome story line.
I think this would make most parties interested in doing this if not for the augment for the ability to make something better than what they currently have. It would not clog any zones as they could all be instances and if you are to uber for anything new you might just enjoy the story line that comes along with how you actually became uber
Now I do not know too much about the code for programing and all that stuff but if memory serves there were like 30 MM's on live if those can be made part of the emu server that would allow for a larger amount of content that could be told and it could even maybe tell futures that may or may-not happen
Just my 2pp
