Join Me On May 24, 2023, Oakwynd Launch Day

On May 24th I will be downsizing my account subscriptions from 5 accounts with full perks, to only 2 accounts, and none of those accounts will ever log into the Oakwynd server. If they won't listen to us on the forums, they'll won't be able to ignore us when they see subscriptions cancelled.

Nah. I'll just keep playing the game that I really like and ignore this one server that doesn't really interest me. You have fun though!

The more posts I see like this from certain posters, the more I'm sure DBG got it right.

the narcissism is real

L O L

That's a sound argument, all sound!

I may sub a new account and buy bags in Oakwynd just in spite of this post. Fortunately this tantrum post will get removed like most if yours do.

Just seeing the folks that are vehemently against the rule set makes me want to try it.

I'd like to think that DPG is more clever about using metrics to examine the popularity of Oakwynd, but with how out of touch the Oakwynd rules are, who knows? Maybe they'll just look at total sub-rates at the end of May vs April and use that as a metric.

Either way, folks should do what they want. If you like the Oakwynd rules and way that DPG handled it, feel free to sub even if you aren't planning on subbing. If you don't like the rules, don't want to see FTE on Live or another server, feel free to drop your sub and tell the forums why. Vote with your wallet, people.

I think the Oakwynd ruleset seems pretty interesting. I'm firmly locked in to Thornblade right now, but I'm interested in seeing how the FTE rules pans out. I don't think it'll alleviate any ill feelings about competing over mobs, but it if it eliminates trains, then I'd count it as a net positive and I'm sure DPG will appreciate the major reduction of petitions over people training that that yields.

not gonna lie i completely forgot thornblade existed

The naysayers aside, I did just let my 7 subscriptions lapse. Had been on Mischief again while hoping that this ruleset would be a new Mischief but I'm simply not a fan of that stage of EQ. Sorry, not as dramatic as to wait until May 24th. This ruleset isn't what I want to play on either - opinions shared already many times.

Ultimately, they drive the direction of the product - hopefully the rest of these forum defenders of this server and DPG put their money where their mouth is and make this server a success for them.

Despite not liking FTE and definitely not wanting it on Live I sort of want to play Oakwynd despite having not done a TLP in a long time out of spite for the people coming up with abysmally stupid objections.

"I like DPS race" is perfectly valid

"I don't like aggro mechanics being messed with (my objection)" perfectly valid

Even, "I just want a Mischief clone (if people would be honest about it)" is valid

BUT

"Trains aren't a problem" isn't valid

"FTE will make worse training problems" is not valid but is stupid

At the least I think I'll give it a spin on Test

how does that example equate to oakwynd being a single player game and rmt heaven?
what normal guild is going to let the mage get the warrior item to heirloom to their 6th warrior alt if the main's need the gear?
the boxers needed tons of accounts for kunark raids, but now just 10 (or the max per account) according to your post - except those 10 can't log on at the same time cause they're on the same account - if these people join normal guilds cause every guild will have rmt'ers - what loot are they selling for irl money?

your original post makes no sense and your replies provide no additional clarity

Cool

yep

Nah, I'm logging on and creating my character. Go away you baby.

I am looking forward to the new TLP - what does TLE even mean! I just want to play EverQuest!!

The backlash against the backlash is now in full swing.
