<p>. . . that we got music files for Shard of Hate with this update?</p><p>Let the rampant speculation, wild guessing and unsubstantiated rumor mongering begin!</p>

<p>What's the speculation?  I thought it was already known that the Shard of Hate was coming...  The dev team's been working smarter, and throwing information down the line as they get it ready, so you don't have 3 days to wait for an update.</p><p><img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>~Gnobrin!</p>

is the shard of hate going to be aimed at casual guilds or hard core guilds? by that i mean will they be easy with items that make vp geared people scratch there heads or will it be hard as trak and all the loot have something dumb like hate reduction or nothing at all for an effect? that pretty much seems like the norm for rok expansion, but id like to know.

as long as the loot is worth the effort to get and not a let down like SoF was.  Great zone design and super fun to experience... Once.  Shame it just isn't worth returning to explore again and again.

SOF is actually one of the best places to farm in T8 for certain items . . .

If it takes you more than 10 minutes to get to SoF from anywhere on Norrath you're doing something dreadfully wrong.

[Banditman]

I repeat:  You are doing something dreadfully wrong.It should not take more than 3 minutes.
