Yeah i'm sure the general populace is just dying for sol ro to open so they can get the same loots they can get on a live server, that being "amazing" quest armor. Woot yeah give me some stats man i don't want anything that made classic EQ unique!
Let's pretend we're sticking up for the common man by advocating for sol ro everyone!

Haha, the SolRo quest armor is game breaking? It's a bunch of quests for matching pieces of armor that aren't even that great.

You didn't listen to anything I was saying.
It wasn't about opening Hate...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
It was about speeding things up.

Hate opens early, Air opens early, guess what will be asked for next? You guessed it, raise the level cap to 60. There's only 1 way to do that.
And let's not forget the fact that by unlocking Hate before Solro it basically said that pleasing raid guilds was more important than pleasing the general populous (SolRo).
It's not Hate that ruins things, it's the precedent.

This seems pretty spot on, Id like to see a gm response as to why they arent followng the timeline

Wasn't solro supposed to open in january? what was its timeline on live, 3 or 6 months?

[Goobles]

Game started in March, Solro opened in August, Hate opened in October. That's how it was. I just assume they opened up Hate before Solro so the high-tiered guilds would get off their backs about opening more content. No wonder the 'event' was so craptacular. Way to ruin the experience, bitches.

I don't think you can blame the "craptacular" event on the raiding guilds. I think the GMs had to have a learning experience and they just got it. I like that they'll do multi-zone events now, because the lower levels can participate without being a nuisance.

I agree that this sets a bad precedent for catering to the raiding guilds. However, my faith in the GMs hasn't been destroyed and I believe they will cater to everyone in the future.
