I managed to work my way down to what had previously been the lowest levels.
There, I discovered a portal leading to new and deeper catacombs.
These were inhabited by even deadlier Olthoi than those above.
An ill omen, to be sure, and worthy of the High Queen's attention.

Lots of people enjoy questing in online games. In our clan, quests and hunts are scheduled frequently. We also have opportunity to quest with other groups outside our monarchy, either as leaders or attendees. While questing we represent the Crimson Knights to others in the game according to our Code of Honor. You are expected to follow these guidelines on all quests, not just Crimson Knight sponsered events. Even if the other folks don't follow them. Being a good questor makes it more likely that our other members will be welcomed in other groups' quests. And they will be more willing to participate in and assist with ours, by seeing how we conduct ourselves on theirs.What do you need to know about questing? Respect for your questmates, and setting expectations are the keys to a successful quest for everyone.Quest Attendees - If you have never organized a quest before, please realize that quests don't happen on their own. They take planning, patience, and a willingness to help others enjoy the game. In return, quest leaders deserve your utmost respect while on their quest. It is stressful leading a quest, so do your best to be helpful, and not exacerbate that stress. Some guidelines for good questing etiquette:

• Follow instructions at all times. Quest leaders often appoint lieutenants to perform specific tasks. Understand your role. Get clarification if you are confused.

• Be on time for your quest! Nothing is more annoying for a quest leader than getting a group together and having people show up late. Be early!

• Please do not run ahead of the group. If you are bored or impatient, strike up a conversation with someone nearby. Running ahead makes the quest harder for the leader to keep track of stragglers or know when someone has gotten seperated from the group and lost. While it is the quest leader's job to make sure the group stays together, you help by staying with the body of the group unless specifically instructed to do a task by the quest leader.

• Do what you can to make the quest leader's job easy. If you know the quest, offer to help with things you are comfortable doing, but please do not confuse the other members of the fellow by giving direction, running ahead or conflicting with the leader. Different quest leaders may have different methods of successfully completing a quest.

• Of course, if you know the leader is making a real mistake, feel free to remind the quest leader of things that are being forgotten through private tells. Nobody is perfect all the time.

• Give yourself ample time before the scheduled quest start to ensure your character is well stocked with spell comps, arrows, etc. for the quest. Being unprepared holds back the rest of the fellow, and can cause people on tight schedules to be unable to complete the quest.

• Be patient. A good quest leader will know that you are waiting, and will be doing their best to keep the quest moving. Be supportive of your leader!

Quest Organizers - it is your job to adequately set expectations for the quest. Many quests require careful preparation or the party may die. It is imperative that the attendees of the quest know what to expect. These can be posted in advance on the Quest Forums, and/or discussed between the group before the quest begins. Some things to specify are:

• When and where the quest starts, and who is required to make the quest possible Level restrictions for attendees

• Specific Roles of attendees if necessary

• Rules for corpse recovery

• Who to look to if the leader dies/disconnects

• What buffs are required, and whether people need to be self sufficient or not

Ultimately, questing is about having fun. Everyone has fun in their own way, and nobody is wrong! In a group of our size, you likely won't agree with the questing rules put forth by all the quest leaders. You may prefer to do things differently. If that is the case, organize your own quest and run the quest your way! The High Council supports organized and ad-hoc questing and hunting in any form the quest leaders wish to propose. Quest leaders are free to include or exclude members from their quests as they see fit. As long as the expectations are clear, and the membership respects those rules, questing will remain a rewarding and enjoyable activity for all.
