timeline
 

I'm really glad the devs are following the classic timeline and I do understand that there is a lot of time required to reclassic the peq database, but I think with the rotation implemented and the preknowledge most of us have of classic the devs should consider upping the timeline for patches to maybe 2\3 the original timeline. I would like to see a poll put up by the devs to see what % of the population would be interested in a quicker patch up

Dunno about you, but I kinda like the slow release pace. I'm gonna enjoy playing 3 or 4 different classes up to 50 in the original setting. Something that i never got the chance to do before.

I think xplodr is referring to classic content that has yet to be released (Plane of Hate, Plane of Sky, SolRo Temple), that kinda thing would hardly impact the leveling trend of anyone.

man i don't want this sped up we have such a low population now if we release the next expansions and stuff a lot of us are going to miss out... and its not our fault.. we just found this server and we want to experience it as much as you guys do... i suggest that they slow the pace down A LOT so that we can milk many years out of P99 before we run out of stuff to add.

I can see where you're coming from, just recently joining the server. But if new content was held back because new people where joining the server (and they constantly are), we'd be in pre-solro forever.

Keep in mind the server has had no new content for the last 4 months. We'd just like to see an extra plane, new zone, quests, etc. It's not like we are asking to raise the level cap, add new races, etc. Just a little new content. Most of the medium core & up crowd have already completed the majority of quests, farmed every item they need (aside from all this raid rotation stuff we all need), started alts and geared them, etc.

My post belongs in rants and raves

Goobles, at least keep your personal vendetta's to the R&F section. I still have never seen anything giving the "conditions" of the server. Don't be sthilly.

I agree with the original poster. I dont want to speed up the release of Kunark, but i think it would make alot of sense to open Plane of Hate and especially the Temple of Sol Ro sooner. According to allakhazam (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches.html) Sol Ro was implemented Oct. 13, 1999. If EQ was originally launched March 16 that means we still have 3 months to go before it will happen to our server. Half the server will have planar gear before then!!

I thnk it would just make sense to release the Sol Ro quests so they can be done at mid-range levels as they were intended for. Verant should/would have had the quests in earlier if they could.

Agreed with Spud--the server mid-range (and even high levels) would benefit from the Sol Ro temple opening, without killing the classic progression. Of course the loss of manastones and rubi bps should be taken into account...

There are more rubi bps & Manastones on this server than there ever was on a single live server.

They should've been removed a while ago imo =p
