Well planned quests set MUDs like Exodus apart from the rest of the hum-drum slay and level MUDs that can be found anywhere.
Planned quests are much more elaborate, more difficult, have bigger prizes, etc.
Check the news board often to get news on planned quests. If you would like to see an impromptu quest run, ask any visible immortal. If the immortal has time and is not already involved in another project, he or she will likely be glad to run one. Quest prizes are at the discretion of the immortal running the quest. Depending on the difficulty of the quest, the prizes can range from a spell-up to a special piece of equipment.
