I want a MMO game where a quest might last 3 days or so to complete. Of course there would have to be opportunities along the way to advance your character as well. Only one quest at a time here and if the quest proved to difficult you could cancel it and take up another different quest. No kill x mobs and return to npc crap either. This would be the perfect sandbox based game. Imaging telling my friends when im at work or somewhere that when I get home I cannot go to bed cause I must venture out into the wilderness on a quest. The same quest I was on yesterday.
Yeah please make sure to tell this to all girls you meet at work or somewhere too. Stuff like this turns them on.
If they're gamer girls, then yes. Yes it would.
You don't have to be an a-hole just because someone else loves adventure and the sense of excitement of rushing home to play a thrilling video game.
It's called enjoying life. Don't miss it while you're busy collecting herpes.
I wonder what kind of people you are dating. hahaha.
Lol my wife is more of a hard core player than me.
But i do like long quests if you can keep the same group working on it all the way thru.

Touche sir touche.
Its called being sarcastic. I am the nerdiest nerd you will ever find. And just like OP i do it all the time. Talk about games get excited like a little kid when i enter a video game store. And i am in my 30's. Do i care what others think? nope. Next time don't jump the gun and get all defensive because you assumed that i was trying to insult OP.
Who could have thought that WOW could bring super power like USA to its knees?

i guess there are some games which are offering long lasting quests, but here and now i want to tell you about the longest i've ever done ....
years ago an expansion called kingdom of sky was launched for everquest II - and belive me everquest is what you get. in this expansion there was a quest-row called the claymore-timeline-quest with uncounted xp and items on your way untill you got THE ultimate item at the very end at this time.
some numbers:
- before you start the quest-row you had to do some basic footwork. mostly learning special languages like the one of the dragons. nothing really hard, but it will take some time if you didn't done it before.
- the quest-row itself had 25 main queststeps and nearly 75 side queststeps
- you needed to be part of a very good raidguild or raidgroup because for the quests you had to go 4 times into a raidzone. and for the last qeuststep you had to kill the hardest end enemy at this time and only 3 raidgroups on our server could win against the last big bad dragon.
some of my guild mates and myself had vacation so we started every day at the same time and played at least 6-8 hours per day. at the end of the week we had done almost 75% of the questrow, including the first raidzone. it took us 2 more weeks to complete the questrow because of the timer of the raidzones and of course we had to wait for the regular raiddays.
and i guess that with the other expansions of everquest II similar quest-rows were added, but sadly i never had the time again. i admit that it is a bit crazy to spend so much time on one single quest-row, but the story was great and if you have good reliable friends, its a piece of cake.

I think you meant to say "I wonder what kind of people HE is dating. hahahaha."
I tried to understand the joke but don't get the reference, unless you meant because of my being a nerd means I am not dating at all?
I guess I failed to laugh because I'm already married, so I don't have trouble finding a women to spend my time with.
If being a developer means being quiet, mature, well-spoken, and disconnected from the community, then by all means do me a favor and believe I'm not one.

u know whats sad? its not only that you dont have a life. Its that you dont even know what one looks like
In a sandbox MMORPG I would want to make my own goals which can be similar to being quests, but I don't need the game to tell me. but the sandbox game should provide me with the means to be able to make these goals. Cause to me if there would be a true sandbox game then there would be no need for quest givers and within that world you can be that hero due to things you do on your own merits or with your friends or guild/clan but not because some NPC tells you you're a hero and need to do this 3 day quest/mission.

Lineage 2 has quests that can last weeks depending on how efficient you are.
yes, and I would be more inclined to play such a game due to those quests.

Gamers bashing gamers for playing games.
Hell just got a little nippy.
