The 50 quest cap DISCOURAGED exploration, and was just a totally unnecessary restriction.


Understandable thought, but realize the cap is there not to hinder, but for a major performance check. Back in beta, when there was no cap, everyone had a few hundered active quests. Each time anyone completed some action that could update a quest a check went through all the hundereds of quests to see if they needed to be updated. Multiply that by the number of people in any given zone and you had MASSIVE lag/crashed zones. The cap has a very important purpose and i understand why it's in. I'm glad it's getting raised, but if they need to reduce it again i also understand.
