    In my time playing Wynn, I’ve played through many quests. They never fail to be entertaining, but some issues that I see in countless quests are typos. It would be beneficial if
    a. there was a group of people who proofread the quests or
    b. the GMs proofread each other’s quests.
    I’m not super knowledgeable about the time commitment of GMs, but the second would probably be preferable unless GMs are usually pretty busy.

    [13/16] There should be a comma after "suggesting".
    [14/16] After equipment, there should be a period, not a comma.
    [16/16] After "door", there should be a period, not a comma.
    [2/5] There should be a period.

    These aren't necessarily typos but they still bother me.
    This is just a small segment of the 2nd quest in the Dwarves and Doguns Questline and I found 4 grammatical errors.
    There are plenty of them if you just read the dialogue, especially in the first play.

    I do agree that there should be proofreading if there isn't any already.

    The GMs and peeps already do this.
    But they way most peoples brains work means that its incredibly hard to pick up on grammatical errors the majority of the time.
    Some people are quite good at it for some reason and you seem to be /shrug.
    GMs are there for their creativity not their english xD

    We gotta set an example for younger players as games like this do influence them and stick in their minds. I vote for meticulous editing of grammar +1 ^w^

    That’s another reason that maybe having a team of people would be a good idea. Don’t we all want wynncraft to be the best it can be?

    Yeah, there are a ton of weird grammar mistakes and awkward constructions in much of the quest dialogue.

    I'd happily do this, I'm an English teacher so this is basically my job anyway XD
