Remove Dekker's Ring Quest Chain #553

Open LiskaQuicksilver opened 5 years ago

LiskaQuicksilver commented 5 years ago

After discussion, it has been decided that the Ring quest chain that Dekker created near the end of Planet Forever has proven to be far more detrimental to the quality of the game than it has been beneficial. While the newer mechanics for it are neat, beyond being incomplete, this quest chain has failed it's original purpose of being purely optional and only for the more hardcore players.

Worse, the "It" dungeon and boss are extremely difficult at best and with the low population, few are high level enough to run this dungeon. The lower level quest segments are also far more difficult to players than most other quests. While this would not be as big an issue were the quest chain better made and/or finished with it's original purpose intact, because most players mistake it for just another quest chain, they are ultimately surprised when this proves not to be the case.

Because of this, Dekker's quest chain should be removed completely as it does not fully follow the spirit of Earth Eternal. While we might decide to repurpose some assets from this quest chain, I think it is safe to presume these should no longer be in the game.

Fixed. All quests, creatures, spawn packages, zones and AI removed.

All three NPCs and the Shadow Void instance appear to be gone from the game world including the spawnpoints of the NPCs. The Shadow Void's instance ouroboros still remains in Great Forest however. That said, I don't see it as a big deal if we later decide to restore a revamped version of that instance at a future date.
