Some people have complained about their "required quest points"
increasing, despite what "help quests" says:

> Don't worry if more quests are added. It is the maximum number of
> quest points on the day that you were born (that is, when your
> player character was created) that is used.

This is how it works, in more detail:

To be able to advance to wizard, a player must have collected a certain
percentage, currently 70%, of the maximum number of quest points.
Each player will "remember" what the max number of quest points was when
that player was created. To advance to wiz, he must collect 70% of THAT
number of quest points, instead of of the current max number.

Since the max number of quest points could get LOWER, for example if one
or more quests are temporarily closed, the player actually needs 70%
of the smallest number of "max number when he was created" and
"current max number" - otherwise he would never be able to wiz!

So, if the current number goes below your remembered number,
you use the lower figure. But when the closed quests are back
(or new ones are opened!) you will have to solve them.

This means that sometimes your required points are suddenly higher
than they were yesterday, but this is not because they've been raised
- it's beacuse they were temporarily lowered yesterday,
and now they are back to the original level.
