A new attempt for more quests per char

[Calain80]

Hi!I know and understand why you can't increase the number of active quests even further to allow us questaholics to collect each quest offered to us. But at the same time it always pains me to pass by a "feather" or to delete a quest.So I have a suggestion for a new concept, that might help both of us. How about the possibility to "disable" quests. Disabled quests do not count as active quests, but will also not checked for updates. While you would still need to save the state the quest is at, you would not need to check these quests for updates and if you would show theses quests in its own tab, it would probably even increase the readability of the quest log. (So you would end up with 4 tabs: Active Quests, Disabled Quests, Quest of group mates, Collections)So in the end you would need more space to save a char but the performance should stay the same or even go up, if you could use the mechanism to internally disable all quests that can not be updated in this zone as part of the zoning process (if you are not doing this already <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />).I hope this is possible.Calain

how big should the disabled quest list need to be?

I think 50 active / 50 disabled quest should be enough, but 75 / 75 would be great.

Rothgar I think responded to this a while back.  It just isn't possible to implement.  Well, it is possible, but it's too taxing on servers.  I can imagine Antonia Bayle caving in on itself if the cap were raised.I think the response said something along the lines of, "Even another 25 quests would mean that the server would have to check even more database files.  Twenty five more entries times the number of characters on the server.  Way too much."
