I wouldn't advocate a strong chaining of quests unless they really made sense
such as taking out a series of wizard towers.  I think it would be better
just to give out hints on possible follow up quests/adventures.  It can be
sort of frustrating to complete say Scorn's Old city quest only to have
no idea where to look next.  I think it would be quite reasonable if fairly
deep into the Old City quest a dead adventurer was found with a diary saying
"The old wizard Galoth in Goth's promised to tell me tales of great evil
once I proved to him I was worthy of his trust".  And so when player goes to
Goth's and says Galoth to that NPC then out comes hints on some other places
to go appropriate for someone that managed to finish Old City.  Not so much
metaquests, but "if you did that then you might want to try these".
