Now, I will go from levels 1-30 without ever maxing the log out. This doesn't mean it's not a problem; it just means that with experience, and knowing where the quests are (or taking good notes if it's your first time through the game), you won't be fighting that log all the time.
Finally, avoid that fear of the Abandon Quest button. You can always go back to it later - ditch the quests you can get from towns if you need to, because the next time you stop by that town, you can just grab them back up again. You don't need to remember the particulars, just that there were 4-5 quests in Town X.

The thing is, I then need to start making notes on were quests I ditched can be picked up. If I don't play for a weekm, or perhaps play in some far area on the other continent (perhaps du to some quest sending me there), then when I get back, I have absolutely no clue which quest givers I ditched and should be picked up, especially if the quest have gone to a low level and there isn't even an exclamation mark. That is particulary bad if the quest is in a serie so that one end up losing it all because one don't remember a ditched quest and it won't show up any more. Besides, how would I pick up quests ina town if I don't know there is any more if there is no other incentive to go to the town. I am level 30, should I go back to Brill??? Is there ditched quests there? Sure, might have appeared some new ones since I was last there at level 22 but running arround to every single town, area and other areas (like a remote place where a NPC happened to stand that gives you a quest) just to see if you had a ditched quest is simply way too annoying and adds absolutely nothing. Just because one can work arround it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist. If that was the case, why not skip exclamation marks and names on NPC? You can always go to talk to them and make notes by yourself on their appearance and so on.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
