Tripping the Time Loop

As any sci-fi fan/geek/nerd will know, a "time loop" is when some event occurs that forces time to fold back on itself, causing one or more people to relive the same experiences over and over again.  Usually, at least one person will (eventually) realize what is happening and a way to break-out is sought.

In the movie "12:01", the hero is able to remember each cycle due to his receiving a shock* at the exact moment the initial causality-loop trigger occurs.  Once he realizes what is happening, he goes about trying to prevent the trigger from occurring 'in the first place'.

{What was that?}

In the movie "Groundhog Day", Bill Murray's character (without explanation as to "why"), relives the same day over and over again until he finally changes from a bast-, um, jerk, into a nice guy and manages to get Andie MacDowell's character to fall in love and spend the night with him.

{That was...odd...}

In the "Star Trek:  The Next Generation" episode "Cause and Effect", the "Enterprise" collides with another ship emerging from a 'highly localized distortion on the space-time continuum'.  The crew is eventually able to piece together what has happened by strong feelings of 'déjà vu' and 'echoes' from past loops that were able to be recorded.  Eventually, Cmdr Riker's original suggestion of decompressing the shuttle bay allows them to escape.

{OK, this is getting weird now.}

In the original "Doctor Who" series episode "Meglos", the Doctor, Romana (2), and K-9 are trapped in a chronic hysteresis (time loop), with their only respite being the small period of time when it resets.  There were no known ways to break-out of one, but they do manage to come up with a theory that proves to work.

{Aw, crap!!!}

In the world of DDO, I feel like I'm in a time loop on Argonnessen with my one-man guild.  I find that about the only way I can substantially advance my guild is to run the (2) heroic sagas (seeing as my toons have not reached L20+, yet) - "The Pirates of the Thunder Sea" and "In the Wastes of Gianthold" - and wait for a guild bonus weekend before turning in all the runs for the guild renown bonus.  It is getting a bit tedious, to say the least.

{NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!!!!}

Unfortunately, unlike all the other references above, I have not found a way to break this cycle.  I fear I may be stuck running it ad nausea until the end of time itself.  Or until DDO closes its doors for good, which amounts to the same thing.

{There must be a way out of this...there must be...}

On the plus side, one does get to know said quests really, really, really well...
