I agree with not releasing shit too fast. But, I also don't think things should be held back for silly amounts of time to cater to the hyper-casuals who have been here since day 1 and are still in their 20s and 30s.

/agree

Man I was grouping with some people in Crushbone on my alt today and they had never even PLAYED classic EQ.

Roll an alt and go to the newb zones...see how many NEW players who don't have a clue are playing. I ran into at least 5 people today who just found the server. These are people who seem to be enjoying the classic experience.

We are seeing fresh faces every day. I went out and helped newbs...played my alt...generally had fun meeting people.

Don't screw the newbs...the server is still fresh. Save the experience for others and stop screaming for content.

EDIT: I gave a guy 40p and he about died on me. As a side note, when I started my original toon here there were very FEW newbs playing. Not so now. Roll an alt and go find out, lol.

No newbies will be screwed with the release of PoHate, PoSky, and Sol Ro. Like honestly, it will have no effect on them. It's not like IB, Trans and Divinity are going to farm planar lewtz and start selling them! PoSky is the uber zone, it's the upper crust. Those new to the game can still enjoy the game, and progress to that upper crust when they get there!

Adding 1 quest zone and 2 raid zones will not thin populations. :P

True enuff Jify. But what happens when that content has been zipped through? I know where you're coming from, but I don't agree.

Editing my post to keep to the point:

It looks like it was early November 1999.

According to this, Hate was opened about 7.5 months after the game launched.
There's your answer everybody.

Your link had nothing to do with when hate was released.

It directly conflicts with the patch note I quoted above indicating that hate and sky were already released by Sept 13.

Quote:

Sept 13, 1999: - Alter Plane: Hate and Alter Plane: Sky have been changed into higher level spells.

I always though hate was only a couple months after release. With sky being in in under 7 months, that seems to make sense.

Perhaps that patch only had to do with the spell level being changed and not the release of the actual Planes themselves? It could have prep work done ahead of time, they used to do that sort of thing.

According to the thread that I linked the actual release dates were kind of kept hush hush but nobody outside of GMs seemed to have the answers.

If the Planes were were truly out for nearly 2 months when those people posted I doubt they would be asking such questions still.

Edit # 2:

So SolRo was released on October 13th 1999 so your date of September 13th makes sense.
So going by the original timeline Hate would be opened on this server In April and SolRo would be released in May.
I didn't check into Plane of Air But The Hole should not be unlocked until shortly after Kunark goes live.
