Well here is an update. Since the background for the quests, which are the stories I write, are the only items on the forums of late...that is why there hasn't been anything new to read...
...and that is because of the problem with doing the quests...
For example...it is really, really hard to have a quest where the last boss is the Lord of the Undead if there is no Lord of the Undead boss...as you are aware if you have done any of my quests...such as the pirate quest...they involve alot of setup (like the ghost ship that could actually be sailed...and was shanghaied by a player....you know who you are...I am glad you enjoyed it...) This also involves a custom boss because there is not "Lord of the Undead" boss to spawn...some other sort of spawn has to be modified. The last two places I set up Castle Dracula, and the last four times I spawned these places the custom bosses went "poof"
Why? Who knows. At first I thought it was computer error. Then I made sure it was spawned in such a manor that no one but staff could possibly get to the spawn...still the custom spawn went "poof" Yet The Great White Sea Serpent remains where he was replaced weeks ago. So I thought has someONE been messing around? Hera checked the logs and the answer is NO!
So the only remaining possiblity is that it is some glitch in the program itself that does not allow the custom spawn to remain for any length of time in the last two locations that the Castle Dracula was built. Let us hope so. I have place an experimental tower with a custom spawn of a bride of dracula...if you do come across it...please leave it alone. It is there to test where the quests can be placed. If this one goes poof (and if I don't know it because it was messed with)...well who knows about future quests...if it DOES work...well then...on with the QUESTS which I really like to do and write stories for.
Cross your fingers friends!
