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

Hey everybody,

I'm all about Odus and spent a lot of time on live in places like the Warrens & to a much lesser extent, the Hole.

I was wondering what era the Hole is, and if it may one day be implemented here if it's not already.

Thanks,

The Hole came out during Kunark.

Shortly after Kunark release as I recall it.

Interesting but the dev is wrong. Kunark was 4/17/2000 and The Hole didn't come out until 6/22/2000. You can see it here in the patch notes on Allakhazam or look it up in Everlore in the Wayback Machine.

yeah the hole was definitely after kunark

lol stupid soe devs dont even know when the hole came out

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)

<hr size="1"> The Hole:

We are pleased to announce the opening of The Hole, a high-level dungeon on the continent of Odus. The Hole is a complementary addition to EverQuest, available to all subscribers regardless of their Kunark status. The files necessary to enter The Hole are available via the "Optional Patch" button at the bottom of the patch program interface. The files are quite large (about 9MB total), so if the download is going slowly, you may want to postpone downloading the files until later.
As mentioned above, The Hole is a high-level dungeon, designed to support characters starting at about level 40. It should be regarded as extremely dangerous. As a note, jumping in The Hole from Paineel is NO LONGER A SHORTCUT TO TOXXULIA FOREST. The GMs will not recover corpses for people who fall, or jump, or attempt to levitate into The Hole.
