Please Help Defend WR from SOE for the Future of EQEmu

I believe he's talking about establishing a precedent by standing behind EqEmu and WR so Sony knows that although they might be able to strongarm someone to shut down their server, that they're only losing current and future customers because of it.

I'll never buy SoE again...

It's always a good idea to stand behind what you believe in, but in the case of WR, it's already gone and isn't going to come back. Let's face it: Wiz has already moved on to that other project. Nothing that we say or do (as members of this EQEmu community) will be able to bring that back, probably.

I think this is a classic case of pledging support behind something only after something bad has happened to it. Unfortunately, this little bout is "too little, too late." Perhaps protecting servers should be a little higher in the priority list for many of the people who play on them in the future.

Actually, if you'd read the DawTide page, you'd realize they'd been working on DT as a back burner for some time.. and even on the page it states that they might possibly bring WR back up.

And not all of us are "jumping on the bandwagon" a lot of us were WR supporters before the CnD and have continued to be.
