Quests

Even though Camelot features PvP combat, it also will have an extremely detailed questing system that allows players to go on quests to get items, advance in guild level, learn new spells, and explore the world.

Camelot's questing system has several features that make quests non-repetitive and ensure that each player that does a specific quest will have a different experience. In most online RPGs, quest consist of going from step 1 to step 2 – talk to the NPC, find an object, give it to him, he gives you a note with more instructions on it, etc. These usually end up with a lot of l characters "camping" the same area waiting for a specific NPC to spawn so that they can kill it/talk to it/etc. This can often be frustrating to the players, especially if the NPC  spawns rarely.

Camelot's extensive questing engine will alleviate these issues in several different ways. First, the steps in the quest will be randomly generated, so two players going on a quest for the same item will probably not do the same steps, and definitely not in the same order. Second, players on quests will have to fulfill earlier parts of the quest in order to get quest items off of NPCs. For example, if a player has to say a certain phrase to an NPC to get an item, the NPC will not respond   to the correct phrase if the player has not done the previous steps on the quest. This will stop massive amounts of players camping all-important quest monsters, since they will to, personally, perform each step on the quest.

A special Questing Journal keeps track of the player's quests that have accepted, as well as list all completed ones. It will show the steps that have been done on a quest, and what the next step to be accomplished is. There's no more scribbling down esoteric phrases or notes - questing journal will manage all your quest information for you. This will alleviate the need for tedious note taking and the "what do I do with this piece of pottery?" that happens in other RPG games.

By combining  these features, Camelot will offer a welcome change to players who want to fulfill their character's quests. By keeping track of each quest step for them, and by ensuring that they don't do every quest in the same way as every other player, Camelot will allow players to more fully enjoy their characters and their quests.
