Brainstorming: Quests stored in DB

[Teppen]

I could be wrong, but I heard mango's wow quest system is c++/sql based.

If this is true, the upside's that I could see if this was implemented into eqemu would be:

1) Less processes running since you wouldnt need perl installed or running.
2) One big sql file instead of individual .pl files.
3) a quest edit tag could be added to mystics peqeditor to edit sql quests.

Not sure of any downsides. This would be a nice upgrade, but not a demanding one.

I could see if the emu was just starting and talk discussing which method approach to use, but this is not the case, the project has a quest system already and it is working fine.

But dont let anything said in this thread discourage you. As you said, "you" would code and implement this. You could always code this up as you have purposed and host on your site as an optional quest system for eqemu, and those who want to go this route can. Could be tedious when new eqemu versions post but i guess it could be done.
