    Looks interesting. Confused about the "SURPRISING" category. XD
    And the additional category bars below the star ratings.

    Just a guess but I would think surprising would be used for mystery quests with lot's of twists in the story. Also guessing the bars are for people to rate what category they think the quest fits into.

    This looks awesome.

    Anyone else missing 'puzzles' and '(trick) jumping'? (And RP.)

    After you finish a foundry quest you have now an additional button like the above one with the tags and you can rate the quest with 1-5 stars and with tags like "Combat heavy, Challenging, Solo friendly". However the test-server does not save them atm....

    I have to say, I don't like these categories. Most are too vague. I was hoping for more specific categories.

    Puzzles
    Roleplay
    Parody
    No story
    Jumping

    They should have come here for categories, maybe?
    Perhaps an idea to form a clearer list for them to use.

    It would be nice if the system provided a tooltip blurb explaining at least the gist of what each tag is shooting for.

    I'm pretty sure that falls into the "solo friendly" category.

    Ooh, this looks nice. I agree with needing Roleplay and Puzzle categories, though.

    Hark at you lot :p

    On the thread in my guild forums I manage perfectly well with four categories -

    Story
    Puzzle
    Humour
    Hack and Slash

    'Puzzle' isn't just riddles or mazes and the like, it covers jumping maps too. I agree with everyone who has commented on its omission, it is definitely an oversight not to have 'puzzle' in that list.

    Some of the tags Cryptic have provided can only have come from author descriptions surely? Hmm, or maybe they are adjectives that already pop up a lot in player comments. I can't imagine I will use them as a search guide, but we shall see.

    I'm not sure either that RP does need its own tag. RP is a player choice really and you can roleplay anything if you have a mind to. Besides, the only (RP) tagged quests I see are Guild or Player houses, definitely not something that needs a rating.

    When I think "RP" in terms of Foundry quests, I think "lots of dialogue options/choice" for you to choose to play out your character.

    I know people make locations to actually type out "roleplay", but I don't think that's what most people are thinking of. I could be wrong, though.

    I think the trouble with RP is we have our own interpretations. For example, can't remember the names but I have played a few quests where the DM provides the player with a character to roleplay and certain types of 'roleplayers' can't get their heads around playing a character not of their own creation and score it down accordingly :rolleyes:

    I do take your point about the comments in this thread not relating to housing. However, for what you describe, I think 'story' fits fine.

    Get on test forums, and give them better category's. I will say that the author community in beta spent some dedicated time in development of the categories used for tagging in the UGC Authors thread. http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?117831-The-Foundry-List-of-UGC-and-Authors

    Yeah, I think the tags in that list have everything covered. Together with the 'group' and 'solo' options, what else could we need?
