I ran into an NPC in Trinsic today and, because I'm me, I Googled info on it. Discovered that it belongs to a custom quest bundled in Runuo. I was able to find several of the NPCs involved in the quest but not the one that is supposed to start the quest. That can be customized to suit the server but it wasn't anywhere that the NPC is usually found. Also, it appears that very early on in the quest you're required to go to Wind Park in Trammel, which is inaccessible on Excelsior. So even if the quest starter exists, the quest probably can't be completed. Don't know if you'd like to fix the quest or remove the useless NPC's but I figured I'd let you guys know.
Here's a list of the sites I found with relevant info on the quest, starting with the original Runuo publish and discussion:
It was a custom-made quest made by some noob scripter in 2005 for use on free servers.
I'm fine with any given quest working or not working. I just don't think it makes sense to have quest NPCs standing around and code on a server for a quest that doesn't work. There was no mention of a Merlin's Quest on the forum before now, so I figured it had escaped notice these many years. Now at least they can choose what to do about it, or choose to do nothing with it.
I miss going to the Wind park. I used to hunt krakens there all the time. PKs used to pick me off now and then but it was fun times. First time I got pked was by Cookie Monster on Lk Superior.
