I agree with the original poster. I dont want to speed up the release of Kunark, but i think it would make alot of sense to open Plane of Hate and especially the Temple of Sol Ro sooner. According to allakhazam (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/history/patches.html) Sol Ro was implemented Oct. 13, 1999. If EQ was originally launched March 16 that means we still have 3 months to go before it will happen to our server. Half the server will have planar gear before then!!

I thnk it would just make sense to release the Sol Ro quests so they can be done at mid-range levels as they were intended for. Verant should/would have had the quests in earlier if they could.

After reading this thread I have changed my mind a bit.

I dont think theres a need to speed things up, I remember what it was like when I was a lower level, I wanted this progression to move as slow as possible. This would give me time to catch up to the others, raid planes, and farm phat lewtz.

I feel like theres a new face on this server every day and I bet a big reason for that is because this server is still fresh and has hardly progressed at all yet in terms of new content. I dont think speeding things up will be good for the servers growth, and I think POPULATION is the biggest factor in whether or not this server is an emulation of the classic EQ experience.

Lets just chill out and soak up the classicyness and continue to let the server grow.

However I am still all for adding in the Sol Ro quests sooner, as it will only help the lower/mid level range levels and improve the experience at those levels imo. (and Verant should of had these quests in from the start)

bottom line is this is a classic server, speeding up the process only kills it faster. If you want more content go play eq2.

about taking out items, who cares. Does it affect you? no... Whoever has said item just wants it out of the game so they can have extra value. This server is new, just because the elite have them doesn't make it right to take it out.

seriously though, if you are complaining for a FREE experience you need wake up.

Just a small nit - the above is probably true, but there are also those (like me) who think stuff like manastones should stop dropping, and do NOT have one.

I just think they are already way too common vs. classic. That is my only motive here.

Well the big reason I think it is way to common vs classic is because everyone knows where to get it. These type of things are going to happen, it is unfair to shank the new people because they just heard of the new classic launch.

That's 2000, not 1999 when Hate was released. And I looked at the detailed 1999 notes, did not see official Hate announcement.

Only thing I saw was:

Quote:

Sept 13, 1999: - Alter Plane: Hate and Alter Plane: Sky have been changed into higher level spells.

Meaning hate and sky were in at this point, but it doesn't say when they were introduced.

On the manastone debate, I'd actually prefer manastones to drop indefinately. Once they stop dropping I see the potential for a lot of people who would roll on the server to think "screw it, I'm gonna be permanently behind without a manastone" and not bother playing. The only people selling manastones right now are those who have enough to cover their main and any alt they may wanna play. All things considered, it is a priceless item. If you had only 1 as a caster, you would never get rid of it under any circumstance.

There's nothing else left to do now, especially with the rotation going as it is. Classic barely has any content for 50.

make an alt.
