The problem is the wiki referenced the timeline oddly and has changed:

http://wiki.project1999.com/Timeline#Patch_Notes

The first table shows Hate releasing in June... however the second table "Development timeline" shows Hate release in May.

If you look at the live patch notes and count the number of months after Fear was released you'd get May is when Hate releases (3 full months of Fear release which is Feb, March, April -> Release in MAY).

http://wiki.project1999.com/Patch_Notes

"July 26th, 1999 Plane of Fear launched" -> Round up to August to make math simple (February in Green Timeline)

"November 3, 1999 Plane of Hate opens" -> November (May in Green Timeline)

So yes the official post, wiki, and actual math for when it came out on live were all disconnected at some point, but none of them say April now.
The problem with this is that Nilbog's official timeline also has Temple of Sol Ro patch release scheduled for after Plane of Hate opens. That is not the classic timeline. Sol Ro was patched in October 13th 1999 and Hate was launched after a Halloween event on November 3rd 1999.

You can do all the math you want, but if this server is to follow a classic timeline, Sol Ro is a month before Plane of Hate. Sol Ro is a really important patch. Nilbog's timeline is only correct in the sense that he is (as another so eloquently put it) the judge, jury and executioner. He could choose to release Luclin tomorrow. Greens timeline might not follow your rule, Furitor, because patches are being released in monthly bundles. Shouldn't November Hate release = the corresponding Green month of June as we are getting monthly patch bundles?

Nilbog's timeline is going to be just as fun as if it were a classic timeline. It's just a little disappointing that everything on his timeline lines up except for Sol Ro and Hate releases!

Please edit the wiki timeline yourself if you don't like the info on it. I am trying to find as much patch info that is to note as possible, and I try to leave skepticism out of the wiki timeline. Lustrous armor become War only is pretty skeptical based upon the weak evidence, but that's probably the only truly skeptical change I've added to the timeline. There is supposed patch evidence on the change, but I don't believe the change ever actually made it in. Lustrous was removed from loot table with the launch of the warrior only set of a different name come Hate.

P99 devs are not following the wiki timeline. That is purely player written based upon what evidence we have to work with. I mean.. maybe the reference it.
