    Wynncraft is a fantasy game, but it is not a role-playing game. Roleplayers allow players to make choices about the story of their character. Wynncraft allows you to walk to places, get items, and do linear quests, but choice isn't really provided. All quests are linear.
    I now suggest a potential RPG element that could be added to new quests, or to older ones.
    The quest NPC will give you a choice. The first choice will be Red, the second choice will be Green, The third choice is Blue, and so forth.
    To choose an option, you use a command:
    /[insert color here] will choose the option for that color and proceed to the corresponding quest step.
    It's not much, but it adds a little personal choice to this game.

    A game made of side quests?

    A) most mmorpgs don't have this B) play a bit further than level 36 before you make judgements like this

    They have choices in Gavel.
    Also, don't use Black for a color, as there is a dark theme for the forums.
    Use the "None" option on the Color Palette.

    I wouldn't say its that much of a beta, but its not like they're anywhere near close to finishing the game, either. This is the sort of server/game that they won't stop building on till the servers dead or the game has nothing else good to add. Interesting idea, but I think it would be complicated; Its essentially like a family tree; the further you get the further it branches out. The lore of the story would be very convoluted since almost everyone would have a unique storyline. An actually really cool idea, but probably pure hell for the GMs and devs.

    Imagine the wiki if this happened too. These quests could be totally different depending on the dozens of different choices you made. Could Microsoft do it? Heck yea. Can a team of developers, like Wynncraft has, do it? Sure, give or take 3-4 years.

    I agree, there is just not alot of them. But I think he means your choices in some quests will affect other quests. And my feedback to the creator of this is that it wouldn't really be such a good idea anyways because then the different choices would just increase exponentially, making documenting on the wiki, and even creating it in the first place would be a HUGE challenge.

    Sure, I'll try to keep my hands off of the "Create Thread" button until I reach Gavel.
    I haven't been to gavel, so I wouldn't know. Also, why does "black" text matter?
    (And what the heck is "Can Town"?

    There is a Dark Theme option for users. Default is White Theme, which is what you are most likely using. Dark Theme (Starry Night) makes your post look like this:

    Good point. Wynncraft doesn't have a lot of resources. It wouldn't have to be major story changes, but stuff like:
    -Kill a captive or leave them alive.
    -Decide whether to betray someone or stay loyal.
    -Choose which side to fight in a conflict.
    Then again, if Gavel has this, it's not too necessary.

    It has such elements, though not particularly extreme, in most cases. Usually just minor choices that only mildly affects the quest's storyline if it has one. So currently, the choices are self-contained in any quests' storylines, if they have them. Like Aldorei's Secret is one such storyline that has a multiple choice. Perhaps they *could* introduce this sort of choice system by giving you items based on choices you made that you use later to unlock the particular dialogue or reward designed for your decisions. That's what they do in Aldorei. But that would take a long time to do thoroughly, and it would first require an actual storyline to be implemented.

    Sort of like branches on a tree, to pluck your idea and give it an anology? They are themselves, but they ultimately connect to the main trunk (main storyline when its added), directly or indirectly. Complex, but it makes for a very diverse way to play this game. Its sort of like this game being developed where you explore space in a run, but they generate billions of planets so that no two playthroughs are exactly the same unless they were intentionally done in a certain order.

    Also, the new NPCS in many of the towns change their dialogue after you complete certain quests.
