So is this accurate? Epics went live after Velious was released?
That doesn't seem right.

EDIT: according to the patch notes, the time line in that jpeg is incorrect.

*Level 1 Character Purge*

The Level 1 character purge announced several weeks ago will take place
on Wednesday, September 27, 2000, at 7:00am PST (GMT-7). Any level 1
characters that haven't been played within the previous 30 days will be
deleted. If you wish to keep any level 1 characters that you may have,
please log in and play them between now and 9/27.

***Patch Day***

As a testament to our on-going goal to constantly provide more content
for EverQuest players, today's patch primarily consists of *many*
content-additions to the game.

*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.

Good luck to everyone on your quest.

Edit: I guess Guineapig just wrapped up that whole argument with a solid date.

I thought this timeline was pretty interesting.

It shows epics being introduced after Velious came out, but right before 2001 (ie, within the 25 day period between velious and 2001).

It's pretty cool actually.

sorry, my bad. I think it's sad that they couldn't get their own timeline right. It clearly shows epics being released after Velious in that timeline image (link above), yet patch notes prove that Epics were released on September 19th and Velious was released on December 6th.

If you took out the new travel methods in Shadows of Luclin, would that make it any better? I didnt play into this time period, so Im not sure why everyone hates it. I joined the Army when the guild I was in just killed sleeper (in terms of time relevance).

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

I was really looking forward to doing those chardok quests. I honestly couldn't remember if the quests were possible right when kunark comes out, but it sounds like they are not from what aeolwind said.

I'll take a stab at it.

Luclin was released December 4th, 2001.

Then this:

Then This: (Rallos Zek was the first server to kill Kerafym)

On November 17, 2003, after a nearly 3-hour battle, Kerafyrm was defeated. He had between 100 million and 400 million hit points, likely around 250 million (most EverQuest bosses have 2 million at most), was immune to all spells except wizard's manaburn spell and Shadow Knight's Harm Touch, possessed two death touch abilities (abilities that automatically killed players), and attacked players for 6999 damage per swing. By using the cleric's epic weapon and other resurrection spells, the players were able to bring their dead characters back into the battle faster than Kerafyrm could kill them all.

On November 15, 2003, on the Rallos Zek PvP server, the three top guilds (Ascending Dawn, Wudan, and Magus Imperialis Magicus) assembled over 180 players, along with an assortment of other non-PK players with Sleeper's keys, with the intent to kill The Sleeper. This was in response to an attempt to wake The Sleeper by an Iksar monk named Stynkfyst, who partnered with the largest random-pk guild of the time. Having been a former member of uber-guild Ascending Dawn, he had the knowledge the random pk guild needed to wake The Sleeper. The top guilds did not assemble their forces until word of Stynkfyst's intentions had spread, and it became clear that he intended to wake The Sleeper, forever preventing future guilds from farming the old loot table. Until this point, waking The Sleeper had not been seriously considered by any guilds, as it was believed that waking The Sleeper would make the offending guild's players kill-on-sight to the other guilds of the server. After 3 hours and 15 minutes, at 26% health, Kerafyrm disappeared (despawned). The players talked with the EverQuest Game Masters, and there was a general consensus that a bug had caused the problem, although some suggested (backed by statements from one GM) that higher-ups at SOE had purposely despawned Kerafyrm, because it was not intended to be part of the story.

I remember when this happened, it's all anyone would talk about. I was scouring the web for images of it for days.
