Save the Wildmen!

[The_Human_Cypher]

The devs have stated their intention to remove all wildmen from DDO, starting with the next update and the quest 'Diplomatic Impunity' (a complete wildmen purge will be completed over time, however). The wildmen in 'Diplomatic Impunity' will be replaced with bullywugs in that quest's jungle setting.

Should wildmen stay or go? Please don't make any political or similar statements regarding this decision, just indicate whether you want wildmen to remain in the game or be permanently removed in eventual, subsequent revisions to content. Thanks.

Doesn't matter. These types of decisions are not going to backed out of in the current environment.

Its not like its up to SSG anyway. If you think the wildmen are the only thing they're being told to phase out Ive a bridge to sell you.

I read recently that half races are being phase out of D&D in general for....reasons. This is getting to the point of absurdity.

I just looked it up and read the news about it... I am not surprised but absurd still applies.

I am now wondering what other content updates will be taking place.... are there not wildmen in Ravenloft?

Edit: ... does this mean "Vecna Unleashed" is going to consist of recycled dungeons with facelifts..?

the wildmen in ravenloft aren't really wildmen, they're mongrelfolk and I believe were made in the Abbot's experiments.

Where can we find this information. This is the first I am hearing about any of this (including the wildmen).

Be brave, SSG. Don't do this nonsense.

My take: the only thing less useful than changing out the Wildmen: Petitioning SSG to NOT change out the Wildmen.
