Wiki Timeline Help
I've been trying to sort out the timeline on the wiki, and unfortunately I am finding patch note history from the original timeline that does not follow the Green release timeline. The post from Nilbog claims to follow the release timeline, though I wonder if this timeline was made official before some of the official patch notes that people have dug up from 1999.
Quote:
These two release dates I am finding do not correspond with the live history patch notes. Quote:
http://web.archive.org/web/200102100...et/patches.htm A November 1999 release would mean for a June 2020 P99 release if we are to stick to the classic timeline. UNLESS we are going to decide that the Halloween event on 10/31/99 was the official release of Hate. The zone may not have been available then, but that would mean for a May 2020 Hate release which I don't think any of us would hate. Still. It wouldn't be true to the classic timeline. Then we have Temple of Sol Ro and the legacy item patch set for June 2020 on Nilbog's timeline. Quote:
An October 1999 temple release would mean for a May 2020 temple release. So... In further investigation I have reviewed the wiki change history for our master classic timeline patch note history. The site with this detailed patch info appears to have been added after Nilbog's post on the Green timeline. I feel our Green timeline is almost certainly inaccurate, and I'm a little sad about that. Nilbog, might you be adjusting the Green release timeline? Just a little additional evidence of Temple of Sol Ro release date, and the creating of legacy items. Quote:

And our wiki timeline. Please note that there are likely some conflicting and missing info from the additional timelines linked below the main one. I've been focused on the first timeline you see on that page. https://wiki.project1999.com/Timeline | |||||||

First off, you have to understand that the Timeline page was made by a few wiki editors (myself included) copying patch notes from other sites into the wiki ... in response to Green (prior to that the wiki only had links to some patch note sites). But all that happened literally over a decade after this project was started, and Nilbog had been assembling his own classic timeline for ten years prior to that. So it's possible, but unlikely, that the wiki unearthed anything he didn't already know of. Also, the Verant patches didn't come in nice monthly chunks, so Nilbog deliberately releases them in an unclassic monthly way. And I think he takes some liberties there: I don't think it's literally "If Verant released something in a 30-day period, Nilbog will release it in that month's patch" ... it might instead get released in the patch for the month before or after. But again, none of that is to say that any of your points are wrong ... just keep in mind that Nilbog has been at this a very long time, so it's far more likely he's right and the wiki's wrong, or that he knows the exact timeline but has adjusted the releases slightly for some reason.

Heard. I suppose this is what I've honed in on. Based on the original patch notes, the Green timeline isn't going to be accurate. Being off by an entire month is.. well it's something. It's not true to Nilbog's mission from what I can gather by his post.

So I am just trying to help out here. If it's decided the server is not going to follow the '99 patch notes, so be it. I'm going to be having a blast. I just don't want to continue working on a timeline that turns out to be inaccurate. | |||

Are you trying to figure out exactly when the legacy items will stop dropping? It's going to be a random amount of time after Solusek Ro drops. So wait for that, then panic.

I don't give a shit about legacy items man. Not my cup of tea. I did hone in on the date they were removed from loot tables, however. That would be with our May 1st patch if it follows the timeline. The Green patches are in beginning of the month single patches. This isn't how it was done on Blue as they were still developing the patches we use today. Comparing what's going on here to blue is just not going to make sense.

If they are going to keep on with their first friday of the month gets all of the content in the corresponding months era then May 1st legacy items should be done.
I do wish they'd just put a changelog in so we know what features hit which timeline (as they release them) but I understand there is not that many staff so it's whatever. Just would be nice when August 1999 hits tomorrow it had a few bullet points like this is what is changing. | ||

So Temple of Sol Ro/Legacy item removal should be happening the patch before Hate based off this research, correct? Not the other way around as Nilbog initially posted.
