Good art? Strong dramatic sense? Heady story lines? Internal consistency? Strong characterization?

Or just pic related?

Everything about a quest can make it popular, or ruin it.

If the art is absolutely awful, people will have a hard time imagining the characters as real, and the quest suffers.

If the writing is absolutely awful, the quest's story isn't fun, and no one will enjoy it.

If the game world makes no sense and isn't consistent, no one will know the results of any action and no one will have fun.

If the characters are flat and boring, no one will care about them, and the quest suffers.

You can't really neglect any part of it if you are aiming for something with the popularity of RubyQuest or MudyQuest or whatever.

That said, you can have partially crap art and mediocre writing with fairly boring characters and people will still play for lack of anything better to do.

I will anyway.

Well, I try to entertain people as well as have fun drawing and creating a plot. I try to(or cannot help but) keep my drawings simple so I can update at a decent speed; however, I like slow paced quests. Then again, I'm the one who should be asking for advice, not giving any out...

I would say interesting characters, above all else. Of all the quests so far, what does everyone always focus on? The characters, and particularly how they relate to each other.

Part of what makes a good quest are people that aren't jackasses. Some people don't want to tell the character what to do, they want to argue and get the characters to do stupid shit.

Besides the PCs, I'd say at least halfway decent art and an engaging story.
