Default Bard NPCs giving mail quests shouldn't be in game until May 1999 patch era

Not sure if this is configured this way for Green already, but bard mail quest NPCs weren't in game at launch. First mention I see of them is here:

I was inside HighHold Keep, and there's a new bard out front, a female in leather. She asks you to deliver some mail to Qeynos or Freeport. It's not Bard's only, but it does
affect faction with the League of Antonican Bards and their corresponding factions.

(You can get the dates for these emails by converting the unix timestamp in the json.)

Edit: Next reply is a bit more verbose so including that too.

Actually it's more then that. It seems we bards have become
the "pony express" of norrath. Kelethin, Freeport, HighHold Keep,
and Qeynos have become the mail stops. There may be more but those were
the only ones I undertook last night. There did seem to be trouble with
the Feeport mail stop. I believe there are also two new quests in
Qeynos but I could be mistaken and merely never triggered them before.
