All of the quests are now repeatable and they are saved. You are the man. Thank you so much for your hard work. Seriously, this is amazing.

I was gonna mention about the bank slots. What if you left the current section as a shared and one as a local bank of an equal size. Just have them tabbed or something. That would increase the amount of space we have to store items by an incredible amount without having to add a ton of extra shared slots. Just brainstorming.

I am really glad that you appreciate the effort because it honestly feels like a heroic effort when I'm coding it. Getting it all to work was very satisfying.

Regarding the bank I don't foresee expanding the bank any time soon. As it is it is already incredibly large and generous at 128 slots for items. Plus you can have 15 characters x 24 inventory slots and 15 characters x 15 slots of equipment. On top of that <b>each</b> slot has 95 attributes. We're talking about quite a lot of database space once this data hits a server. And don't forget data for the character itself and their quest progress!

Some fun math on how much data is being tracked:
Bank:
128 * 95 = 12,160

Character Equipment and Items:
24 * 95 = 2,280
15 * 95 = 1,425
Total: 3705 x 15 slots
Total 15 characters: 55,575

Character Data:
92 * 15 slots = 1380

Quests:
200 x 3 difficulties = 600
Total 15 characters: 600 * 15 = 9,000

Grand Total:
12160 + 55575 + 1380 + 9000 = 78115 fields of data per 15-character account!

Quite a lot. I am not sure how the server will handle this once it's all pushed to a database. In the end I might restrict server accounts to 8 slots to ensure my webhost can manage it.
