The "Grand Quest" is an Impossible Task and the main entrance impassable to normal players. However, because only one can complete such a task, there is a lot of competition between the races, despite the alliances. According to given sources of Alfheim Online, one can try the "Grand Quest", which would give his or her race a meeting with the Fairy King Oberon and promote the entire aligned race to the powerful Alfs. When the Big Five are all defeated, Noah deletes them, but not before laughing at them and revealing he never intended to give them bodies or let them leave the virtual world.
Noah Kaiba recruits the Big Five by promising to allow them to take over the bodies of the heroes if they can defeat them in duels so they can escape the virtual world. Arcana actually seemed to have doubts once or twice, but never enough to truly believe him until the end. To make it even worse for Arcana, Yugi continually told him during the duel that this was likely the case. He fails his mission, and the last thing he sees before Marik kills him is that he never intended to keep his end of the deal. 
In the Battle City arc, Arcana, one of Marik's servant's, is promised a reunion with his lost love upon fulfillment of a mission Marik even put a mannequin shrouded by curtains in the room to persuade him. However, since Lina was particularly dumb for believing him, and since he's really the ancestor of her (not-yet-encountered-yet-at-the-time) love and life-long partner Gourry, it worked out in her favor anyways. In reality, the ghost has lied, and the fountain in question is the reverse of the fountain of youth, aging things that touch its waters to death, making Lina's trials and tribulations completely meaningless (in her eyes). Needing Lina to risk her life by going back in time hundreds of years in order to save a much younger version of himself, his love, and a group of elves from a mazoku, the elderly ghost of an adventurer promises Lina to show her the location of "the fountain of growth", which she interprets, and is led on to believe, will finally make her tall, curvy, and stacked. The character in question isn't evil and doesn't plan on hurting Lina per se, but it's definitely not a case of Moving The Goalposts. This occurs to Lina Inverse in the first Slayers movie. 
Fukunaga suspects that Yokoya didn't even keep count he just wanted the members to feed him as much information of the others as possible.
In Liar Game, during the Contraband game, Yokoya enforced a point-based loyalty scheme to guarantee loyalty from the members of his team that they would spy on the other members and report any dishonesty to him, where he would give more money to the snitch.
