Deathstryker: Quests are a huge part in the process of making a great MMORPG. Many people enjoy riddle type quests were levers have to be pulled to open certain doors, keys to doors are hidden in the dungeon somewhere, etc. Will there be any of these riddle type quests in EQ2, and can you give an example?

Steve "Moorgard" Danuser: There will definitely be quests that require the use of your brain as well as your observation skills. I'm hesitant to reveal the specifics of an in-game quest, but I'll give you an overview of one I think is really cool.

When a scout decides to become a bard, he or she is given a quest to retrieve a certain book. You can only obtain this book when its owner, who is attending a party, is properly distracted. There are five musicians at the party who will each play a song for you if you ask them. When one plays a song, you'll notice a member of the audience applauding. You need to figure out the proper order to play the songs so that the entire audience is applauding. That way they'll be distracted and you can swipe the book you need.
