Unsolved quests: a can of worms, but maybe not?

[frefaln]

There used to be a rumor — and I remember seeing it echoed in an interview long ago — that some of the quests in original EQ were never solved. Some may have never been discovered. First off I should say that I find that really difficult to believe. Hardcore EQ players can be accused of a lot of things, but leaving stones unturned is not one of them. Considering just about every inch of every zone (through at least GoD, I stopped playing after that) was mapped for EQ Atlas, it's almost impossible to think that hundreds of thousands of players all managed to miss a certain quest/hint/solution.

That said, let's say it's true. Obviously EQEmu wouldn't have those missing pieces since you can't emulate something that you don't know exists — and if you have the original bona fide DB somehow, then you likely DO know it exists and it's therefore no longer an unsolved quest!

Here comes the "can of worms" part. If the P99 Devs decided to be creative and inject a custom quest here and there, would that upset the player base? Would it be acceptable given the possibility that some content was never unearthed in classic? My take: I consider myself about an 80% purist when it comes to preserving classic, but even I don't have any objection to this idea. I think it'd be an extra incentive to keep exploring old stomping grounds, for who knows, I might come across an undiscovered goodie at some point.

Your thoughts please. And yes, I'm ready for the abrupt "No, STFU noob" responses. Let 'em rip.
