As much fun as the quests are, are the goals that staff is setting actually realistic? IMO, they're not. Stalker Status quest set was quite hard, I think that we ended up having less than 100 people finish it and now we have the Super Quest set. The goal is 1,500 people by the 20th and we're less than a third of the way there with four days to go. I think that a more realistic goal would be maybe 750 or even 1000. I just think that 1500 might be pushing it, especially for quest sets like the Stalker Status one, I think a more realistic goal for that would have been around 500.
EDIT: I'm going to start keeping track of those goals and the actual number reached, starting with the All in the Family set.

Realistic Goals?
It would probably be easier if more people quested consistently. Some people don't quest so the goals don't seem to take that into consideration. 500 would be great... and I would have a lot of extra exp >.>... not including the Stalker Status one.... still trying to finish it.
What's really tough is trying to do the same quests across all the different sites, that is if you're on every site and into doing it on all of them.

I don't quest. Seems like an extremely time-consuming thing to do...and to what end? I brouse around and if I see something I want to chime in on, I do. And my level keeps going up...and I don't care. I just don't get it.
" Two days to go and we're a little over a third of the way there. It's not going to happen unless Sha completes it on all of her accounts and even then............ "O_o i have a weird knack for popping up where my name is mentioned.
I have accounts that i have logged in to in ages, and soon as i log in to them. they are on lv. 9
if it's a comic book knowledge quest then I'll do it just to test myself but quests like the Stalker one don't interest me in the least...I even said that I wasn't going to do it in the quest thread and I still had a bunch of people writing on my wall.....I guess my point is that if I've never talked to you on here then I'm not going to just randomly follow you or write on your wall to complete a quest that gives me no physical reward
" @Donnieman v5.1: Elitist. :P "Damn straight, lol. I need to go through and get rid of the people that aren't active anymore, though.
"Guess which part of that quest I hated.
@ComicMan24: I liked it for the fact that there was no way for you to complete it by yourself. You had to rely on others to help you out. "
" @Lance Uppercut said:Yes. I f****** hated having to talk to so many people. I almost didn't want to do it out of spite." @The Dark Huntress said:The part that I liked? :P ""Guess which part of that quest I hated. "
