Quest just vanished!

Q u o t e:
I picked up a quest from my warrior trainer called "Speak to Ruga" and as soon as i accepted it disappeared! Not in my quest log, not available from the npc. I cannot talk to the npc that the quest refers to so it's not "hidden" in my log. I've reset my cache and ui and nothing. it just went Poof!

I suspect this is just a UI issue, Tesseract because I do see this as active in your log. That would be why you can't get it again.

Why you cannot talk to the NPC in question, well, that's probably another issue.

I'd highly recommend you start with a full reset UI, then check your log prior to re-installing ANY addons at all. See if this shows back up.

If it does not, we may have to do a bit of manual intervention to help you abandon this so you can reacquire it. If you find the reset UI doesn't solve this issue, please do place a petition ingame.

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

Asking via petition for that to be removed from your log would be the next best step then.

It's showing there for me, but this can be looked into further.
