I can confirm at velious launch the planes were simply not ready. The loot in PoG was atrocious on release. Entire plane clear would net 2-3 pieces of armor. It was later revamped. It took a month or two(i think) for them to finally put plane of mischief and growth in game. It would totally be classic not to release them at launch.

I think during luclin also plane of mischief was moved from veeshan's temple to the great divide simply because no one ever went there. Even after the move, no one ever went there...go figure. What a terrible zone. Plane of mischief was revamped 3 times...still no one ever went there. It was so unpopular we had our own plane of mischief website where all 30 of us who went there from all the servers correlated our information.

Edit: I also have a foggy memory of plane of growth going up and down like 10 times due to loot issues. Too much loot, too little loot, wrong loot for zone. I think finally the armor drop rate settled at about 1/4th the rate of plane of fear/hate armor if i remember correctly.

I can confirm your memory as being foggy in general.

PoG was up at launch, PoM had shitty drop rates for over a year and not everyone who worked PoM for drops was posting on whatever website you're inventing to back up your claims.

You are correct that PoG drops were dropping everything from Tormax crowns to BoDS after a patch, but they fixed that shit pronto.
