Release Date on Sol Ro?

[Albane]

This zone added some entertaining level 30 quests for decent gear. I would love to have seen it on release of this server, but it looks like it might be released after everyone is already too high to enjoy the quests.

Could we get this patched in ASAP, please?

[Mardur]

4-6 months is my guess.

[mourning]

Need my rod of Glamor So GlaMorOuS GlamOuRous.

We FLosssy FLossssy

[Vibe]

I say follow guidelines, it was implemented about 4-6 months. go by live guideline ;)

[mourning]

No guidelines, server is already accelerated, harvest and ice comet in, shit is wack, implement the sol ro quests before people dont care anymore.

Do it and prosper.

This is what I was hoping for. Sol Ro does nothing to ruin the end game or make anyone OP. What it does it gives the level 25-30 players some quests to do and some quest items to farm. This is probably where the majority is currently sitting at, so it would make for some good times and a lot more dungeon groups/pvp.

EDIT: Waiting 2 months to implement it does exactly what it did on Live. It turns this zone into a place for twink gear. So you end up having level 50 players camping level 25 dungeons. Let's be honest with ourselves, this server is not going to have a new population of new players leveling up in 4 months.

This. Pretty bad problem IMO.

[Lovely]

Hook the Planes up at the same time, thanks

People said the same thing about Project 1999.

[Albane]

Will the release of solRo also mean the removal of Manastone, Guise, Rubcite, etc?

IIRC thats what happened on blue.

Considering the server was initiated without instant cast Pumice stones, none of these other over powered items should have been in the game either.

Sol Ro is not about OP items though, it is about giving level 25-35 players something to do, other than grind xp.

[Muaar]

wait until ever single character is level 50 or gm favoritism

[Vile]

This. Pretty bad problem IMO.

Its true though. The low lvl pop is already pretty bad.. low lvl melee are pretty much screwed.

Only low level newbs in the future will just be PL'd alts...

[Albane]

Please add Sol Ro, so that this zone is utilized how it was meant to be, and not just added later for twinks.

[mitic]

no

[Albane]

no

Why not? What about adding Sol Ro will ruin a single player's experience? Sol Ro makes people group more for the level 25-35 instances, instead of every body soloing to 50.

These quests will only improve the quality of the game and server.

[nilbog]

The sol ro melee quests were added to give original melee something other than rubicite. From what I read, Rubicite was originally removed due to csr calls about trains in ct.

If you're a melee class, you should be in cazic thule for armor. If you're not a melee class, then you shouldn't be worried anyways. I still used certain sol ro items long after classic. As a magician, clay bracelet and earthen boots come to mind.

Regardless, it's not all about twinks.

[mitic]

same applies to lvl 50 waiting for planes.

the moment they open solro people will ask for planes (and they do it already now), afterwards they want kunark and right after velious....if the server staff would listen to those few then the server would be in velious by summer 2012.

though luck, this is classic, u gota wait, farm stuff, reroll, start alts..w/e.. or "gasp"... just pvp your way up to glory

So the reason to keep Sol Ro closed is because of assumptions on it messing with the timeline?

As for PvP, opening up Sol Ro would vastly increase the PvP on the server. Right now, Sol A, Uguk, and other level 25-35 instances are empty most of the time. You add some quest drops that every class needs from these zones, and you will start to see groups of players wanting to do these dungeons. If you wait another month, most people will be 40-50 and then just go back and solo everything they need.

I kinda got to agree with this statement. Hes got a very valid point. Not that I care either way.

[heartbrand]

agree as well release sol ro

[Nirgon]

You can still solo as a melee. I'm not dropping spoilers anymore.

Sol ro means many things are removed, be careful what you wish for. Not to mention even on an accelerated time line we still have the thex dagger in. Its what... a month after release? Calm yourself, get some of the "won't drop anymore" items while you can and be very happy.

[mitic]

and that's the point, those ppl asking about planes and solro most likely have allready all their classic times. those selfish bastards!

[Nirgon]

Competitive yes, putting themselves first and community community last though.

I could aid in trolling for things I want that directly benefit me, but I don't. There's a difference with this kind of stuff.
