Missions (the good ones) give you a variety of interesting sites to check out and allow you to browse through content at your leisure.<\/p>\n<p>Are a constructive or destructive person?  The game allows you to pick an alignment with your character and helps create a fun atmosphere for the rest of the players. <\/p>\n<p>Missions are pretty straightforward and allow for some scavenger hunt and trivia type questions.  Most of these are simple enough to keep you playing.<\/p>\n<p>Handy browser tool bar for Firefox eases playing.  <\/p>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<p>Not sure where the overall meta-game will lead me.  I&#8217;m really not sure how much I care about it either yet.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the missions involve a quiz or a scavenger hunt and that&#8217;s fine for a few things but gets old.  I&#8217;d like to see what else could be done to make quests more interesting and hopefully not a &#8220;full blown academic test&#8221;.  So far that hasn&#8217;t happened.  <\/p>\n<p>Well that&#8217;s about all I can write about for now, seeing as how I just got started.
