I can't give you an ETA, but I can add some information.

Since Kunark development, we have used a rule-based system when developing content and code. What this means is the work needed to add/remove timeline features only has to be done once, and a rule applied for the era.

For example, when a server is released (original eq launch date: march 1999), rubicite and manastones should drop until ~October 1999. When a new server is launched, all that is necessary is to set the correct era rules. The era switches allow us to apply rules to spawns, loottables, items, spells, doors, tradeskills, etc so they may be enabled/disabled without even a patch.

It has been, and still is the plan to release a timeline correct server a certain amount of time after Velious is complete. Velious still lacks 2 zones; Stonebrunt and Chardok revamp. There are patches between and after those times which need to be developed.

Nilbog, has there been any consideration about capping PBAE targets, thus slowing down the chardok L60 raid parking alt toon printing press?

Not classic.


Chardok revamp (which he basically said is on the horizon, should correct Chardok aoe)

I don't think anyone was AEing down an entire zone at once in classic with limited network connections and PCs <shrug>

On seventh hammer in circa Era 2000 chardok aoe was a thing. Maybe not every server.

Nice!

Can confirm devs have been tweaking (read: nerfing) multiple noob quests used for leveling. If they're doing this much fine detail work this far into the life cycle of the project, it means they're getting ready for new servers.
