Getting help on a quest
General
If you're totally stuck on a quest, you can mail a wizard for help. But be sure you've tried your hardest to solve it by yourself. If we find you've only spent one afternoon on a quest and you're already asking for help, nobody will be very sympathetic towards you. Follow these steps: 1. Know the quest coder. Be in the area, use the "where" command or the "pwho" command when you have a party banner. Generally the coder is also listed in the description provided by "questlist". 2. Send mail to the wizard if they are active (logged in recently), or to ARCHONS if they are inactive. e.g. mail stelari for help with my quests (because I am active) e.g. mail ARCHONS for help with Bran's quests (he is inactive) 3. If you have a particular bug/idea/typo to leave for the wizard, use the bug/idea/typo commands. Read up on these. You can log stuff to the coder of the room, or the coder of the item (which may not always be the same person). e.g. typo room's description says "mountan" instead of "mountain" e.g. typo sword: this sword has a typo, "hillt" (Read the help files for details about the difference). 4. Monitor the quest board for indications that the quest is broken, has been removed, etc. If you can see that the quest has been solved recently (on the "questlist" output, then it's probably not the quest--it's you.
