Expedition system was originally implemented in Gates of Discord. It is essentially a way in which to manage group/raid instances and set lock out times on them. The system basically let you start an instance, then add and remove players from that instance. When criteria were met it would set a lock out on that instance for x duration. You can only be in one expedition at a time.

Tasks/Shared tasks were implemented in DoN. While you can have multiple solo tasks, you can only have 1 shared task at a time. Shared tasks essentially are a task in which the entire group gets an update whenever criteria is met. You can receive this task update even if you are outside of the zone where it is obtained.

These are two major systems that have yet to be implemented on the emulator and most devs have stopped holding their breath waiting for them. Many servers have implemented their own versions of these using complicated perl scripts (there are many ways to accomplish them).

I would love to see them implemented but it is little over my head.
