Someone tells you "Can you res my Troll friend? He was killed at zone in."

Unfortunately, the troll consented his druid friend who tried to drag his corpse, which caused the druid to become KOS as well.

(Dragging corpses of KOS people makes you KOS.)

Aww yiss

The gd wasn't until after luclin opened I think

Nwing was the only portal throughout velious era I believe. Or at least until pom was nerfed to useless

Yeah, I thought the GD portal was added after the PoM revamp.

New Entrance
#Oct 14 2003
The new entrance to PoM is in the small cave at the Southern end of the stream running through the middle of The Great Divide. There is a small "dollhouse" castle sitting in the middle of the stream just inside the cave. Click on the tiny castle to enter the Plane of Mischief.

as i recall first weeks of velious release in solusek ro server , pog was up and was indeed candyland.

the drop rates of armour where kinda brutal, something rogues , necros monks loved alot.


aswell u gotta remember for a short period of time some pieces of armour from quests where aswell dropeables .

I've seen several people mention that growthplane wasn't released with Velious launch.

/boggle

Are they getting PoG confused with PoF and PoH release delays in the Classic era?

[heazels]

I can confirm at velious launch the planes were simply not ready. The loot in PoG was atrocious on release. Entire plane clear would net 2-3 pieces of armor. It was later revamped. It took a month or two(i think) for them to finally put plane of mischief and growth in game. It would totally be classic not to release them at launch.

I think during luclin also plane of mischief was moved from veeshan's temple to the great divide simply because no one ever went there. Even after the move, no one ever went there...go figure. What a terrible zone. Plane of mischief was revamped 3 times...still no one ever went there. It was so unpopular we had our own plane of mischief website where all 30 of us who went there from all the servers correlated our information.

Edit: I also have a foggy memory of plane of growth going up and down like 10 times due to loot issues. Too much loot, too little loot, wrong loot for zone. I think finally the armor drop rate settled at about 1/4th the rate of plane of fear/hate armor if i remember correctly.

I remember plane of growth very early in velious. However, I do remember someone saying something about killing tunare and she dropped nothing. Was tunare itemized upon velious release?

I can confirm your memory as being foggy in general.

PoG was up at launch, PoM had shitty drop rates for over a year and not everyone who worked PoM for drops was posting on whatever website you're inventing to back up your claims.

You are correct that PoG drops were dropping everything from Tormax crowns to BoDS after a patch, but they fixed that shit pronto.
