Too much xp
I've not completed this quest since I rolled my shaman on live in Kunark.

My memory was the first two turn ins gave a non visible amount of xp; most of the xp came from getting past the patrolling orcs (to Megan) and then the final hand in. Currently on p1999 the first two hand ins are giving way too much xp; almost half a yellow each, whereas it should be just a couple of xp.

Obviously memory can be faulty (and as I said, I've not done this quest since the Kunark release) so I went to see how live compares (I doubt the quest has been edited since release).

Now, I know the XP required to level on live has changed, but at least we can see the relative differences of xp gained from a hand in. Between the first two hand ins I made 4% of level 1. This bumped up to between 19 and 20% for the third hand in (Megan) and then all the way up to 40.8% for the final reward.

So at least now we know the relative xp gotten for each hand in:

Code:
Hand in      |        Xp
-------------+------------
First        |        1n
Second       |        3n
Third        |        15n
Final        |        21n
-------------+------------
Total        |        40n
I've tried to collaborate evidence with allakhazam and although there are plenty of posts from y2k, the gist of comments is 'this quest is just for faction unless you are really low level' which aligns to my memory of the quest, especially the first two hand ins, should not be giving so much xp.

As an aside, here are the faction values for each hand in:

 
Your faction standing with Wolves of the North has been adjusted by 5.
Your faction standing with Shamen of Justice has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Merchants of Halas has been adjusted by 1.
Your faction standing with Steel Warriors has been adjusted by 1.


Snowflake's Route to Megan
Doing this quest on beta. You ask Megan's dog, Snowflake, "Where is Megan?" and Snowflake leads the way. I was jarred at the route Snowflake takes to lead you to Megan.

Back in 2000 I remember the dog takes a much more circuitous route, presumably tracking Megan's own route. I also remember the dog walking not running (she runs at sow speed on p1999, making it very difficult to keep up)!

Sure enough, I loaded up the live test server and the route and speed Snowflake takes matches my 20 year old memories.

Here is the route I remember from 2000, which is still in use on live today:

Edit: i meant to say megan is fourth (not third) hand in. That is a typo on my part.
