Best quest of any MMO

So, what's the best quest you've ever experienced in an MMO?
Comments
I actually have no idea, but i would have to say it must be a Secret world quest because of the games fantastic stories with engaging gameplay.
TSW - AoC - Aion - WOW - EVE - Fallen Earth - Co - Rift - || XNA C# Java Development
Was a level 2 or level 3 quest for greenskins, to assault a stuntie stronghold. You sat in a catapult and got shot across a lake to land on top of a wall, where you then had to kill some dwarves. Made me laugh.
(I dislike questing. 99% of storylines suck and the gameplay isn't unique. I generally prefer quests that lead to dungeons because I like group content, but it's not the quest itself that was good, but the dungeon).
You are posting some laughably bad content, please desist.
I think EQ Epics are in the discussion... a long adventure with great rewards...
I also think most "story arcs" are in there like the class stories from SWTOR, or the Mages Guild from ESO
BUT for pure one shot enjoyment quest... The Loppi-lopp in Wildstar... you have to lick some lolli-lops that make you hallucinate and run around like a madman with all trippy colors and stuff... To this day me and the wife joke about licking the lollylops
Wildstar, in general, had some amazing humor and quests.... to bad the gameplay was subpar.... it could of been a contender.
The Secret World.. most quests are better then any other mmo quests. There are some missions that are so epic in scope that im not sure there are single player games with as good story/mission/quests.

You triggered a Npc war and had to protect the npc dwarfs from waves of gaints.Also, though not strictly an MMO, one of the last quests in the original GW (Before it was called Prophecies). By the time undead Prince Rurick shows up the cheese meter has been pegged so long it's broke, the writers are clearly shoveling in random pages from Tropes, every time you think it can't possibly get more ludicrous it does, and yet somehow it all works.
Or, at least, is enjoyable and memorable, which is more than I can say for 99% of the quests I've ever done.
Epic quest, with a lot of mechanics to figure out and beat before you even enter the final dungeon.
It took the whole player community working together two months to figure out all the details and finally beat Lady Aerfalle. Do this nowadays, and you'll have the instant gratification crowd whining on the forums after two days.

After many years of reading Internet forums, there's no doubt that nor does the ability to write.
Nobody can tell you because it's all the same endless repetition of the same thing over and over again, kill x number, bring X to Y is what makes up 99.9% of it.
It all becomes routine and meaningless fast.
Sure there is one decent quest out of 10,000 it seems.
I've stopped reading quest texts years ago...I just can't do it anymore.
So to answer OPs question - I think the best one was when this guy asked me to kill stuff for him, and then he asked me to kill some more stuff.... like 15 times over.
This is clearly the best quest because it seems just about every MMO has 1000s of these.

Part of the quest is triggering a zone wide war.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
Agree 100% - most quest designers all need to go have their heads examined.
I got mine as a drop from Drelzna in Najena in 1999
There was this mission where I had to fly around grey (dangerous) space as part of a covert 'black' operation. I wasn't given very clear instructions on how to proceed except to avoid being scanned or raising suspicion while searching for a way in to national territory, every once in a while receiving "burst crypto" comms from my point of contact.
I just found it to be a very clever piece of narrative storytelling.

Maybe I am not so much into quests afterall.

Such an Epic quest line. Takes you all over the world like Blackburrow, Stormhold, RunnyEye
You have to kill 1,000 sentient beings
Was just an awesome quest. I could name a bunch of Heritage quests as favorites to be honest. I think they are the best quest chains I have gone through in any MMO

There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.
