    What was the point of this whole quest line? At the beginning it felt like it was being set up to deliver large amounts of random worldbuilding details but it just dried up entirely after a couple of quests. After that there were tours going on but we never got to hear anything of it. It also really needs more daily quests, or more variety within the quests at least, instead of handing out all our flyers to the same three people for the fifth time.

    Also, Liplu felt entirely interchangeable from all the other Pelupelu we've previously met. And I hated the repeated coin-jangling sound effect, like rubbing it in our faces that it all comes back to making profit for someone, even if every single person in the region is conveniently happy to support it.
    I feel like the Pelupelu society quest is almost a modern attempt at what earlier society questlines are like; it's something comparable to the Vath or Ixal questline in content, but told in a way that reflects what they've learned in structuring and building up those questlines from stories like the Omicrons.

    Unfortunately, it has a problem from some other early society quests: not having a whole lot of point to it. It needs some raised stakes, even if it's just more established consequences for failure.

    EDIT: I will say, though, the actual society area that gets upgraded over time might be the best one yet. I could see that becoming a solid roleplay hangout even with the barrier for entry.
