Okay, clearly it's time for a State of QuestHelper.
Short version: QuestHelper isn't being updated much anymore, for a variety of reasons. I'm going to keep it working, but aside from a few interface improvements that I've been meaning to put in for months, you're probably not going to see many big changes.
Long version:
QuestHelper's always been kind of an odd project for me. I picked it up because it looked like a challenge, because I wanted it to work better for my own purposes, and because I saw a lot of potential for what it could become. Since then, we've seen a lot of changes in WoW. I started back in the days of 2.4.0, when we were eagerly awaiting Wrath, and today we're largely finished with Wrath and eagerly awaiting Cataclysm.
As WoW has changed, so has my situation.
* I don't quest anymore. I always enjoyed dungeons more, and with the 3.3 LFD changes, pretty much all of my playtime is now spent in dungeons. I imagine I'll level up a Worgen through quests once Cataclysm comes out, just to see the new quests, but that's about it.
* On top of that, I don't really play much anymore. I've got other huge projects on my plate (come visit http://www.mandible.net). I originally picked up WoW to play with friends and to learn from Blizzard's design expertise. All the friends I originally joined have quit, I started raiding and then stopped again, and, minus the changes coming up in Cataclysm, I feel like I've learned everything I'm goi...
Description:
What It Does
Questhelper tells you how to finish your quests in the easiest, fastest manner. It includes a database of quests, monsters, and items, telling you the exact location of that dang Perfect Satyr Horn you can't find. It also computes the fastest path to complete all your quests - and gain experience - as quickly as possible.

My current project: an independent game studio.
Come check it out! We've got experimental games. They are free.
Well, let's be honest here, I haven't updated this in months.
I'm polishing off a few of my outstanding obligations, like the Contributions that people have been sending in. For one thing, QuestHelper now has a fully functional config page. As for the tracker . . . well, I haven't done anything with the tracker. What do you guys want done? If you contributed money for the Tracker improvements, send me an email at the same address you sent money to. Let me know what you want! I owe you guys a few days of work - sorry for slacking.
Besides that, I'm basically done with QuestHelper. My current plan is to keep it working up until Cataclysm. It will probably stop working in Cataclysm unless someone else decides to take it on.
However, it's now GPL-licensed. Want to improve it? Be my guest! It is yours!

Want to thank me for the work done? I'm still taking donations!
Data
If you can't afford to contribute (It's okay! I still like you) then I also need your data. QuestHelper records monster positions, questgiver locations, item drops, and all manner of fun information that I use to build QuestH... |
