I can’t imagine this is overly complex, but it would be incredibly helpful to those of us on less than stellar connections. I have a 5mbps connection, but it’s wireless, so once every few hours my net will drop out for 10-15 seconds. When that happens during a mission, I get dumped all the way out and I have to start over from scratch. Really annoying during the longer missions, especially the one involving the Temple of Lyssa. While I realize it’s my net to blame for the d/c’s, I’m not sure why the game isn’t automatically saving my quest progress anyways. It obviously has a checkpoint system, since you can restart from death at one.

Checkpoints are very different from saving/restoring a quest that’s in progress. Checkpoints are really just resurrect points, but trying to restore a mission “in progress” means saving the state of all of the monters, enemies, quest steps, etc. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes scripting that goes on quests, and trying to save/restore the state in a way that wouldn’t introduce new bugs is extremely difficult, at least in an MMO that isn’t set up to “save” stuff like a single player game might be.
