There’s already a ton of server canon in place nowadays with the server projects that have taken off and seen consistent participation and success here on WrA. Doing your thing while ignoring what you don’t like is all anyone can do. It might be a shift from the WrA of just a few years ago and does have the unfortunate effect of segregating the community into multiple bubbles, but that’s a deeper conversation for another time and thread.
That said, I’ll personally be treating pre-patch as post timeskip. If the release of dracthyr coincides, it would be quite odd to me to consider the timeskip yet to happen and to treat these dragonkin like they’ve been running around for a couple of years before any mobilization toward their isles at all.
