-Designing [[Endgame Quests]] are like designing other [[Quests]] except that they should make sense to have in the [[Endgame]] phase. This may mean that they should not connect to main story lines in a game since these may already be finished. Further, they may have to take into account that players may already have reached caps for certain types of development since the [[Endgame]] might be defined by this, as for example reaching the maximum [[Character Levels|Character Level]] signifies in [[World of Warcraft]]. The two most common ways of addressing the development issue is to allow players [[Rewards]] in the for of [[Game-Based Social Statuses]] or more powerful [[Armor]], [[Tools]], or [[Weapons]] that can't be acquired before one has reached the [[Endgame]] phase.
