Perhaps you could rename the item to somthing that there would be more
than one of, Thors Hammer is a name for a unique item. The big
question still remains, how do we make quests unique so that not
everyone has and trys to get the same quest items, and so people get
to have a unique experiance. Artifact Entertainment is atempting to do
this with it's quest system where apperantly quests are randomly
generated. Time will tell on that one but i think random quests and
random quest items, and most lilkly random dungeons are the future of
quest for MMOLRPG's. This is just a guess and but i see potential in
this area.
