Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

The NPC spawned at the farmlands and eveyrthing seemed to work as it should. I was able to get the ring from graveyard and return it. The NPC was called "randomname" however.

Thanks for the report! I will look into that.

Oh why, it is my good old friend, Rando M'name.

So it was a just spelling mistake! That should a easy thing to fix.

I experienced this quest not working through a Lag spike self crash relog event.
The quest was taken, got to graveyard, server lagged right up for me so i relogged. Came back in and search function didn't pick anything up throughout the whole graveyard. As if the quest deactivated.

To avoid leaking resources into the module, I'm using a safeguard that if the PC exits the module, any active encounters initialized by that PC are cleaned up. For now, that is unfortunately a necessary limitation to the system.

Bugger.. Weirdly enough... the server lag completely stopped for me once I got the character back in the game... may have something to do with the quest system? *shrug*

Did the server lag start right as you loaded into the graveyard, or right after you started searching, or later even?

Got into the graveyard. Began casting the assorted mage buffs , and halfway through things started to really slow down, and yes, did have search on. Got as slow as casting at a rate of 1 per min by the time things caught up.
Got sick of waiting, relogged. Was able to finish all the spell casting no dramas. But lag disappeared and didn't cause me any more grief in that map.
Search was on and no quest prompts in entire area (as you mentioned, deactivates on logout).

Mind you... relog is the cure for any major lag spike. "But they return... and in greater numbers" - Kenobi 1977.

(in case it is relevant I finishd this completely yesterday or yesteryesterday with no problems)

Yeh, i'd say more people have no problems with the quests than those that do.
I think my experience was quite possibly nothing more than coincidence.

Mom's ring isn't set as a quest item and looks like any silver ring, so you can easily sell it at a merchant.
Otherwise worked like a charm for me.

You are welcome to sell it. Or use it to propose to your soulmate. Player’s choice.
