    Design a quest chain, based on your experience with other quests in the game. The chain must involve at least two different areas in the zone and have at least five steps. Write all the dialogue that the NPCs involved in the quest would say. Make sure you indicate the quest requirements and the steps involved in the quest. You can research quest chains using one of the online quest helper databases like WoWWiki, Thotbott, etc.

  • oundationally, behaviorism offers us five foundational ingredients for a healthy and balanced reward schedule. Firstly, continuous reinforcement operates just as it sounds. We reinforce a player every single time they perform the behaviors that we'd like to see. We may even reinforce behaviors that get incrementally closer to what we'd like to see, what behaviorists call shaping.

  • World of Warcraft, regardless of race or class selected. Learn to walk properly, kill efficiently, use skills, loot, sell, etc., and there's no dearth of praise, experience, and cash value. Yet, continuous reinforcement is the first to wear off, because players immediately notice once you've staunched the flow of reward.

  • eeding concurrent reward schedules. They let our brain pick and choose the best way to reward itself. The key to generating fun in the brain of the player is to cater to them. They should always have options for how they want to stimulate themselves.

  • What we’re currently terming gamification is in fact the process of taking the thing that is least essential to games and representing it as the core of the experience.

      There's also the issue of play. Games offer play. Achievements and points are merely reward structures.
  • Games give their players meaningful choices that meaningfully impact on the world of the game.
  • They are the least important bit of a game, the bit that has the least to do with all of the rich cognitive, emotional and social drivers which gamifiers are intending to connect with.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • but neither points nor badges in any way constitute a game
  • A world of badges and points only offers upwards escalation, and without the pain of loss and failure, these mean far less.
  • Gamification is an inadvertent con. It tricks people into believing that there’s a simple way to imbue their thing (bank, gym, job, government, genital health outreach program, etc) with the psychological, emotional and social power of a great game.
  • Gamification, as it stands, should actually be called poinstificatio

    Another point here is the importance of "play" - games are designed to offer play in some form or another. Achievement structures are not play but an end object.

  • These games can be addictive. They are designed for addiction, much like cigarettes. While there is a considerable amount of thought that goes into the historical accuracy of the images and characters, as well as the depth of the stories, it’s really about getting kids playing and then keeping them there. This is not “casual” gaming. This is the kind of things that makes you question what is real.

      This is a standard trope coming from educators against gaming.
