Basic Overview
EQEmu currently supports 2 quest systems. The first is EQEmu's own .qst format, the other is Perl. You are encouraged to use Perl if possible, as it has much more features than the old .qst format. Adding quests to your server (especially custom, original ones) adds a lot more interactivity to your server and will give players a break from hack-n-slash. EQEmu's quests have just as much funcionality as EverQuest's quests, and in some cases it is more flexible.


.qst Quest System
Simple Hail Script:
EVENT_SAY {
if ($1- =~ "Hail") { say(" Why hello there mister!") }
}


Perl Quest System
Simple Hail Script:
sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text~= /Hail/) { quest::say(" Why hello there mister!"); }
}
