It's actually quite good already. I only believe that putting the rewards there is not ideal. Seeing how there will be perhaps 3x2x3 (grade reward x outcome x rewards) numbers you'll have to enter there. Perhaps even other choices like items; materials, armor, weapons and the likes. Placing it under a ==rewards== topic will be easier. There might also still be the problem with the long event names for this type of box, and if you're going to place 2-6 events with each approx 32 character long event names... It'll get messy, sorta. Though this is what we had in mind. And with the current information we have, which is close to none, it'll sustain. Ge4ce-Talk-Contribs 09:31, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the input, on top of your concerns for the rewards, Infinite also had some for the rewards for failing the event here User talk:Ge4ce/construction#Navigation-Box and keeping that in mind i agree with u that rewards be better off in their own topic. For the long Event names part i'm not sure if it is appropriate but we can shorten their name for the infobox and add ... at the end because when u follow the link to them the full name would be displayed there. Another thing is the "if failed" and "if succeeded" thing on the end of every line. Maybe i should split them in two follow up rows. As for the messy part, isn't it just going to be only a strecht infobox where u might have to scroll down a bit more unless eventnames cause a line break then u are totally right, but i think that the current 300px wide infobox is already abit big, the only solution other solution then shortening the names would be to make the font-size even smaller.
On another topic after spending a night of sleep and some more thoughts about Event-typs these came to mind:
Player initiated Events; Group-Events; Guarding something (most likly the Events on a timer and strictly for fixed places); Escort Events (such as escort someone form a to b or defend them while they gather, repair, etc); Defending someplace (defend from attacking forces); Attacking someplace (like attacking enemy camps/ strongholds, etc.); "And i need a name for it" (retaking a conquered outpost from enemie forces)

User:Aquadrizzt/Sandbox/Infoboxes/Template:Quest. I took yours, made a few changes and updated it for the new infobox scheme. Oh, btw. It won't look right unless you copy paste the infobox section of my monobook into your monobook. Aqua (T|C) 13:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
