Trouble getting quests to work - Ak'Anon

[TheOldEQGamer]

Hi folks. I've been on Project 1999 only a few days and made a Gnome Magician. To mix things up with grinding I wanted to do some quests, but I'm having a very hard time getting them to work. Am I doing something wrong? Don't you "Hail" the NPC to get them to talk to you then include any word(s) that they use that are in brackets [ ] or ' ' in your response to further the dialog? I'm having trouble getting the NPC's to respond or if they do, then getting them to respond to my question or statement about what they said.

I remember in the original days that you had to answer an exact way to get them to continue, but I've tried every way I can think of then finally gave in and checked the NPC on the Project 1999 wiki to see the correct response and I'd done that, but the NPC still wouldn't reply. I've tried exiting the game and getting back on, running in windowed and fullscreen mode (just in case that made a difference), but mostly no luck. Any advice would be appreciated. I love the game and I want to be able to do something besides just grind for levels, but I'm having a heck of a time with getting the quests to work. Thanks for any help you can give!!!
