NEVER FORGET

FEBRUARY 21, 2001 - *The Shralok Pack is now LORE. It was set to pending-lore some time ago.

From a thread earlier in the year... there's some debate over it for sure.

There's talk on EQ Allakhazam that the Shralok Pack never actually went Lore. Should I be worried about having more than 1 on me at the moment?

Shralok Pack just says PENDING LORE, does not ever become lore.

Bonus Round: Should have the "Pending Lore" tag for the life of the server. "Removed the "Pending Lore" tag from the Shralok Pack. There is no current plan to make this into a lore item." Was not removed until November 19, 2002.

Was simply a cosmetic change for the sake of feeling classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some of that debate tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Ele is one of the most informed/credible sources on these forums imo.

Shralok Pack never becomes lore, even though it was intended

From the patch discussion on USENET back on 02/22/2001:

I figure there are enough bitching posts about the patch (especially
the shralok pack screwup) so I'll make a positive one [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On an barely tangential note, the Shralok Pack that I got whilst
hunting in Highpass almost three years ago is still marked PENDING
Lore. Think they forgot about it by now?

It was never LORE.

Patch Notes from November 2002:

They finally noticed it was never LORE.

I remember specifically when this happened on live. The item went lore for a very short period of time. When it went lore all the additional bags and items within poofed from inventory. I can only imagine the backlash from the community caused the dev team to remove the lore status from this item immediately. It never went lore again.
