Hello everybody,
As of June 18, the Quests plugin has been disabled. We're sad to bring you this news, but it had many problems which were deemed unsolvable and the server is not in a good presentable state with broken quests littered on NPCs.

Reasons for this were that the plugin itself is not stable, and has broken on us multiple times. A stable person to run them is also hard to find, and though alkatraz and DieLorelei did a great job and we thank them for running it, we have to cut the ties with quests for the time being.

They may make a return in the near future but they are to be removed for now. All quest points, quests, and other affiliated things are gone (though a backup is still available and at the ready).

We're quite sorry it had to be this way, and we did not want it either. Hopefully quests can return sometime in the future and be better than ever!

In light of this... a new staff role has been added. Questmaster has been removed, of course, and Mayor has been removed because the role did not work out as expected. This new rank is the Elysium Adventurer, who will manage the dungeons around the server!

Applications are open to all Operators. Hopefully this person will improve upon dungeons, and bring prosperity to Elysium.

Thanks, and hopefully your journey will continue uninterrupted!

Interesting, very interesting.

Welp, hopefully the quests will make a return in the future, or in a future server. They, I think, had great potential for exciting stuff, to bad the plugin was so unstable.

Elysium: Server, that cares about its health, not like all previous SMP servers, well maybe except SMP 3.

Something not working out? Shut down it!
So Questmaster + quests and Mayor were jettisoned.
Now Elysium is lighter and can fly faster!
New engine added: Elysium Adventurer!

EDIT:
Also R.I.P Parliament, although it never did anything :p

EDIT 2:
So yeah, Questmaster was unstable and Mayor didn't worked out.
