Oakwynd Longevity

Except it is not a fact that "it is doing fine" that is an opinion.

Opinions are not facts.

Where is my, You keep using that word meme...
I know I stashed it here somewhere

nahh you're wrong with everything you stated but cool way to try and spin things back.

The fact that it still is one of the most populated servers and stays at a high server population most of the day is an opinion?

I am wrong that people have been calling this a dead server since it was announced and that it still stays at a high population most of the time?

Reread his comment.

Is that what I said? I thought I said "It is doing fine" is not a fact

Are you wrong that it is medium pop 24% of the time which is much more than any other server before it when they even compete releasing 2 servers at once? Crazy that you agree you are wrong.

It never shifted hun, everyone who understands the TLP cycle knew PoP was the end time. Some servers have done nicely post PoP. This one won't.

And you keep saying "we never had these conversation about other TLPs." When we have 100% had these conversations about cut and paste TLPs before. I just went for a little stroll down memory lane and I found posts about how the following servers were all DOA/dying before PoP.

Coirnav

Oh wait, all of them, except Mischief, didn't find any threads saying that one was dying. Oakwind is not being singled out. It really isn't. And personally, I have zero qualms about FTE. It just changes what race you are racing, doesn't stop you from racing. It's just that the populations tolerance for cut and paste servers is low, and the "perks" don't come in fast enough. It is a flash in the pan, like most EQ TLPS. I wouldn't recommend anyone betting on it past PoP. There will be a few hard core folks who slog along, like every TLP, but it'll go down hill fast.

If a server is that is maintaining a high population isn't doing "fine" what does that say about the game as whole?

According to what? Your memory? This sounds like another excuse to claim that the FTE ruleset is a failure.

What threads? If you took the time to find the threads why not post links to them to point them out? But even so people have been claiming that Oakwynd was a dead server since it launched and seem to be looking for reasons to call FTE a failure.

Have blocked the guy who doesn't even play on Oakwynd.

The in-game population and LFG is worrisome. Hope it picks up soon...

The population numbers that poster wants to tout as evidence, are likely all boxers there for just farming krono, not indictive of playerbase health.

So some people according to you, claimed it's a dead server from launch?

So?

Many others like myself, have pointed out the server will die off after PoP, we will be proven to be correct.

There is no goal post shifting as you claim, this has been what most people agree is the drop off point in population.

As far as the vibe of oawkynd, from my point of view, any many others, it's a very anti social server. Just because you see "high population" on the main EQ page, doesn't mean anything. Getting groups has proven to be more difficult than other servers at this stage.

In all likelihood the "high population" numbers are coming from people who are boxing and/or trying to farm krono.

And why do we need so many posts on what may or may not happen to the population of the server down the line? Daybreak isn't going to change anything based on these posts/threads and the playerbase isn't going to stop playing because of them.

I keep seeing people claim it is just krono farmers but they are not going to be playing on the server unless they have people to play with and boxers are players as well.

Well ok then....
And why do we need you to reply to so many of those posts Waring??
Posters are not going to change anything based on those replies and the posterbase isn't going to stop posting because of them.

Because the server shows that it is doing better then people claim and there is no need to keep calling it a dead server because it was created with the FTE ruleset and not a new random loot server with free trade.

Awful lot of assumption going on in all that.

Exactly what is this amazing play strategy that permits lucrative "Krono farming" when the only people on the server are "are likely all boxers there for just farming krono"?
