You are still thinking like a game oriented player here. There are
more reasons for doing a quest than to collect a reward. You can do it
because your online friends want to, or because you want to know if
you can, or because you want to know the story. You can set up a
quest where the reward is that the character com- pleting it dies
permanently as she saves the world. You will never find a game player
for such a quest, but you might find a roleplay- er interested.

That is clearly impossible, but ideally, yes. If the quest has to
have true meaning it must impact on the character. Of course such a
quest should have more depth to it than a simple postal service. As it
is quests are just tiny precanned adventures (if it deserves a grand
name like that).

There is nothing really wrong with that I think.
