Sol Ro and Plane of Hate Dates -- Real Dates?

[jejukin]

What's interesting here is that if you look at the patch notes for 1999 in Allakhazam, the reference to the opening of hate on 11/3 is omitted. There's no record of it there. The link in the wiki page for the history points to a wayback archive of eqic.net, which is a 3rd party site. The only other reference match to that sentence about the halloween event is a rando french website. It doesn't exist anywhere else.

I was tempted to say for credibility's sake I trust Alla more. However, some thorough searching revealed this conversational bit from dec 1999:

While wholly conversational, it corroborates the halloween launch of plane of Hate.

What's interesting to note here, is that whereas the wiki page for the timeline of patches indicates that Hate was released on November 3rd, that's incorrect - the November 3rd patch notes reference it in past tense, saying that Hate was available following the Halloween events on Sunday (Sunday was Halloween, the 31st).

The conversational bit which corroborates this fact above, also says it opened with the halloween event.

"[...] the holloween opening for plane of hate was happening.."
