[HP=237]:greet markus
Commander Markus turns to you, his intimidating features furrowed with a frown.

"What business do you have here," he rumbles, "this is no place for idle
  adventuring. This outpost is regularly besieged by vicious and evil creatures
  never meant to exist in this land! However, as you must have travelled far to
  reach me, I suppose that you must be on some sort of business... if so,
  explain it quickly, as I have little time to spare."

ok, so I posted a short cap of markus, asking him festus.  I also ran into identical thing at grey lord. his greet command worked.  Both Markus and grey lords greet commands worked.  All text past that regarding the neutral alignment quest did not show anything.  Am attempting to finish quest without the words to see if the functionality is there.   Grey lords "ask grey transport" does work, however, it takes you to town square, as it's supposed to. As I gain more info, I will post more on it.

ok, upon further testing, I attempted to go back to grey lord today.  Jorah wouldnt let me go through. ended up I had to restart the quest.  (I did die in between my first attempt and second attempt)

I went back to gaal, and had to restart the quest.  I was then able to get to grey lord, and this time the grey lord popped off with all the correct text.
I went back to gaal, and he told me I had to go to annora at that point(incorrect, tested, actually need to go to markus)  I went to annora and she just looked at me at that point. 
Also, I attempted to ask annora missions, and only got a blank line.  It should have told me that I was not of the right alignment or something at least. 

  Since I cannot get back to Markus without those rooms fixed to get into the tunnels, neut quest is at a standstill until such time as those rooms are fixed, or I can get another teleport up there.

This is great info Grox.

To start out, as far as I know, quest flags are not yet being persisted to the database, so any progress you make in a quest will be lost when the server is restarted (although you will still have any items you gained).  As far as the actual problems with blank lines and what not I'm thinking it's probably some textblock commands that haven't been implemented yet.  Textblocks in GMUD still need a lot of work and maybe it's time to stop putting off working on them.

I remember we workied on making quest flags work in the last round of testing before we moved over to dc's content. Perhaps when we did that roll back where we couldn't remember what had been fixed between the versions we lost that functionality.
