The task goal system made implementing tasks a little confusing since the goal could be ambiguous depending on type. This also didn't support filtering on multiple goals (e.g. looting items from matching npc names inside an area). Deliver types could specify an npc id in `delivertonpc` but the database may have multiple npcs with the same name or a task might want to match partial npc names. This replaces goalids with explicit fields for npcs, items, proximity areas, and touch switch ids. These changes make managing task data easier without needing to update multiple tables and allows filtering task updates by multiple criteria. To mitigate any performance impact from merging task proximities, only clients with explore tasks in the current zone are checked during client movement updates. Items and npcs still support goallists but it would be possible to denormalize entries into delimited strings to combine with the match lists. This would also decouple task goals from reward lists. The client task update functions were refactored to run through a single filtering function which significantly reduces duplicated code from the legacy task system. This will also make it easier to later implement any unhandled types. Since the new fields will handle filtering single entries and lists based on having values set, `goalmethod` now only distinguishes quest controlled from source controlled. This is a breaking api change, `taskexploredarea` has been removed since explore ids no longer exist.

EQEmulator is a custom completely from-scratch open source server implementation for EverQuest built mostly on C++
- MySQL/MariaDB is used as the database engine (over 200+ tables)
- Perl and LUA are both supported scripting languages for NPC/Player/Quest oriented events
- Open source database (Project EQ) has content up to expansion OoW (included in server installs)
- Game server environments and databases can be heavily customized to create all new experiences
- Hundreds of Quests/events created and maintained by Project EQ
