About as crappy as posting the detailed walkthrough of a quest.

No idea what quest you're talking about, but if it's the one I'm thinking about...nothing has changed with that quest.

You'll notice that new quests don't come around much at all anymore. Nor do quest areas. It's a battle we're tired of fighting. The quests that do come around don't have super-cool rewards like some of the older quests did for the same reason. I wouldn't be surprised if all explore areas eventually turned out to be "invite only" areas like Hell is now.

Send me an email with the quest in question, and I'll go double-check it.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
