The Hole is being rebooted?

[Tiggles]

Hole came out the same time as epics right?

Negatory.

JUNE 22, 2000
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.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2000
New Epic Quests:

We are pleased to announce that we have implemented new "Fiery Avenger" style quests for every class in the game (including paladins). The ultimate reward for each quest boasts a custom model with unique particle effects. We think that you will be pleased.

Heheh, I like how 9mb was "quite large" back then. One thing I do not miss from that era is my 56k.

Earthlink was freaking fantastic back then. Always reliable. Don't think I ever went LD with it. My T1 connection from SBC Yahoo! or whatever was fast but so shitty!

i remember trying to play first person shooters on dial up bak then in 98/99 (Delta Force)...you literally had to aim like 10 foot in front of the person to get a kill, lmao...eventually u got used to it and started to pwn people (you basically became a mind reader)

Rainbow 6 Classic is where it all started. (Not even Rogue Spear.. I'm talking the original original)

The Hole Opening Event...

Hordes of level 50 "a mangy rats" size x5 overrun the continent of Odus.

[Doors]

lol I remember that game. Old skool.

[Polixenes]

Spawn earth elementals everywhere including some Ixiblat sized ones?
Random gems depending on mob level, rare loot = key to the Hole.
