I think you'll find that refunds are handled properly now. As to Quest
and playtests etc, it didn't help that the designer/programmer (me) left
KJC about 6 months after Quest was launched- pressure of marriage plus
stress of writing Quest (1000 lines of code a week, every week for a
year) - it took time for KJC to get replacements.

Suggestions for change have been implemented- not all- but as you can
imagine KJC have received litteraly 1000s for Quest alone. Nevertheless
it has minor bugs and features fixed on a semi regular basis and major
features (like horses like year) added in. (Reunited with code I wrote
six years earlier- it took two days of rereading for it all to sink back
in!).
