Instead of saying:

Fred has started a new quest.

Say:

Fred has started a new chaos quest.

I haven't actually tested that this works, but it looks right from look at examples in your templates ;-)

I didn't put the tag classes on the link, but having a tag in the middle of a sentence might look goofy, but you could try it, I guess ...

Hmm. Realm name is already there in right-bottom corner, but it's too far away.
I think I like this change, but what about other event types? Should "neilb commented on neilb's quest" become "neilb commented on neilb's perl quest"?

I think that insted of "neilb commented on neilb's quest" there should be "neilb commented on his own quest" (do we need to know the sex of the person to correctly say that?).

@bessarabov: agreed, scans much better with "his quest", but you need to know gender. For work I've been wanting to add gender for a while, for exactly this reason. It's all these sorts of little touches that add to the overall effect of a good UI.

@berekuk: yes, I thought it was too far away. I nearly added realm name to some of the others, but thought I should wait and see your reaction :-)

Now I'm wondering if it would read better as:

berassabarov added a quest in the chaos realm

rather than

berassabarov added a chaos quest

The latter scans fine for the current realm names, but might not for future unthought-of realm names.
