The Godmother at ALT:ernative: Last week, we set the 5 Man Instance to rights. Today, we’re going to give Daily Quests a right good going over (no this isn’t a darkened alley, all out in the open and proper thanks very much!) and hopefully send them on their way as better things.

I think we need to throw both models out of the window and set Daily Hubs all around the game world, by re-using Capital Cities. I’m not just talking about those on Kalimdor either, let’s have our Dailies in Shatt and Dalaran too. Take out the ‘old’ quest givers in those places and replace them with new guys/girls/tentacled beasts to re-energise those zones. Oh, and before anyone asks, this guy in Stormwind has a ? for a reason. My new style Daily Quest giver isn’t just here to provide you with summat to do, he’ll also collect stuff from you too. There are many different types of quests to do from Straw Berry: . . . read full article
