What era is The Hole, and will it potentially be implemented here?

On their own timeline, they placed it after Velious. I do not understand whats up with them, but I do know it was post-Kunark lol.
It will be implemented when the time comes. (Couple of months after Kunark release)

I think their documentation from the era was spotty at best. IIRC they even managed to lose all of the source prior to Velious or so. They must have been using VSS.

The Allakhazam patch notes are a great historical archive but if you want something even more definitive here is a Wayback Machine link to Graffe the day after the Hole was released.

I remember playing EQ on 56K. Hilarious.

the devs look so chic

it definately came out either on or before epics were introduced as there are quest mobs in there for some classes

I thought it launched when epics did

The second dev from the right is the guy that had the invincible WoW character on SouthPark. I'm sure of it.

Epics didn't come out until mid-September 2000.

All of this time line stuff has been covered to death. I think I've copied and pasted the dates at least 50 times on these forums over the past 16 months. The info is definitely easy to find.
