    @brief
        Represents a hint in the game towards completing a Quest.
        Consists of title and description in textual form and must belong to a quest.
        A QuestHit has a defined status (inactive or active, where inactive is default) for each player, which means each QuestHint exists only once for all players, it doesn't belong to a player, it just has different stati for each of them.
