Brainstorming: Quests stored in DB
Title says it all Folks! What do you think about:
1) Having a perl plugin that takes the parameters passed to it by EQEmu, querying a Quests table in the DB via MySQL, and returning the appropriate data to EQEMU
-or-
2) Coding in a 100% C++ questing system, selectable via the config files, that taps the above mentioned Quests table directly.
Up till recently, this would require a custom tailored DB front end for Quest Scripting (tools like this exist now) but now EQEmu has a developing Web Server functionality. Serverops don't have to be at the machine console anymore as a lot of functionality is remote... why not extend this functionality to Quests also? This could potentially attract those who would like to help but can't/don't want to run their own server. (there would have to be a level of ServerOp authentication of course)
Aight, open floor! Questions, comments, concerns, ideas
