The foundry is so limited at the moment that I don't want to create a quest, untill that you guys add some of the stuff which is suggested in that sticky thread about foundry suggestions.
What bothers me the most is that the objectives are linear, they are the only way to trigger events through maps, and map transition. I am not intrested on creating simple quests, MMOs are full of those, I want something else, a different level of quest.
I want to create co-op quests where different classes have to play different roles to accomplish the objectives, I want it to be easier to create quests where classes can complete the objectives choosing different paths, etc.
So, please give the foundry some love, if you do that I will never get bored of creating quests in neverwinter, otherwise I will not bother into making one.:(

"The harder the game, the better."
I already did a quest and I know that there are a lot of intresting ones.
I wonder if the other MMOs with UGC were based on D&D... I think not.
My problem is that it consumes a lot of time to create a good quest, and a lot of that time is spent thinking on how to bypass the foundry limitations.

"The harder the game, the better."
My point is that there pretty much AREN'T any others.
The only existing ones I know of are Star Trek Online (which is basically the first version of NW's foundry), City of Heroes (which no longer exists, and it was more limited in many many ways), Saga of Ryzom (I haven't touched it, but I last heard it was very limited/buggy and it's not a very big game), and... that's pretty much it.
NW Foundry, for all its faults, is pretty much the ONLY option for MMO UGC, not even considering genre.
Why do I say all this? It's basically a call for perspective. We could have... nothing.
Campaign: The Fenwick Cycle NWS-DKR9GB7KH
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
Imagination and finding novel ways to achieve the 'impossible' can be rewarding in the foundry as it is. If you want restrictive Foundry option's try using Startrek's (STO) one, this one is much, much better. But as always can only be improved by adding more options, which will come in time.
@Zahinder: I agree, this is better than nothing. Actually, the foundry is good and as I said, there are some good quests out there. But, what I am saying is that it could be much better than this, so I'm asking for some love, because since OB I've not seen a single patch to improve it.

Oh no! This is the first I heard of that. That is sad to hear, like the death of an old friend.
