I've stumbled across evidence of when the Thex Dagger quest was patched into the game, and when it was removed. Both seem to have happened in October 1999.

If you wish to get the newly added Thex Dagger, Sasbian Montar of Fennin Ro submitted the Quest information upon it.

Subject: Patch downtime again this morning (Thursday)
Anyone know what the purpose of today's patch is yet?
Also, I noticed a strange hovering door in Highkeep last night in the main
entryway courtyard when you first come in that must be some kind of bug and
the High Elf who starts the Thex Dagger quest was gone and my "Princess
Lenya's Amulet" had its name and graphic changed to "Thex charm" or
something like that.
I also have a question, I finally have some plat saved up to where I can
begin to buy some steel armor to replace my ugly bronze until I can start
moving forward to Lambent so does anyone know if I can find size "medium"
steel plate armor for sale in either Freeport or Qeynos? I know it is sold
in Kelethin but I am not sure if you can find it at these other cities.

Hopefully this will now be correct for Green 2.0 :)
