I agree with the original poster. I dont want to speed up the release of Kunark, but i think it would make alot of sense to open Plane of Hate and especially the Temple of Sol Ro sooner. According to allakhazam (
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches.html) Sol Ro was implemented Oct. 13, 1999. If EQ was originally launched March 16 that means we still have 3 months to go before it will happen to our server. Half the server will have planar gear before then!!
I thnk it would just make sense to release the Sol Ro quests so they can be done at mid-range levels as they were intended for. Verant should/would have had the quests in earlier if they could.
