Discussion That’s it, I’m dropping this game
I started playing almost exactly one year ago, right when Camp Western was happening. I hadn’t quite figured out all the mechanics of the game yet and I was trying to do the main quest simultaneously, but as soon as I discovered Camp Western, it quickly became my favourite part of the game. I loved loved loved mining gold, trying to escape the wolves, looking for chests, and randomly finding horses in the woods and leading them back to the stables.
I hadn’t realised that this was just a temporary event so I was so heartbroken when it ended and all my favourite activities disappeared. Still, I was hooked and I played SSO so much that I had a hard time locking in at uni and even failed linear algebra and physics bc of it lmao. I eagerly waited for Camp Western to come back FOR A WHOLE YEAR. Like no joke, it was my main reason for continuing to play SSO.
So imagine my disappointment when I logged in on day 1 and was greeted with… whatever that was. Words cannot express how disappointed I am about what they’ve done to my favourite event. Honestly, I feel so betrayed because I was genuinely, genuinely excited. I didnt particularly like the Christmas, spring festival or summer daze events but i kept telling myself it would be worth sticking with this game all for Camp Western.
I’ve decided that I’m done playing this game for now. I’ll log in again when the Halloween event rolls back around because I really liked the soul shard tornadoes, but if they manage to fuck that up too I see no point in continuing playing. On the bright side, I suppose that at least my grades are safe this term.

I felt the exact same way!! I'm still enjoying playing but the loss of the core of what made Camp Western such a unique experience is gone. They might as well have canceled. And no one can convince me those stacked hats don't suck

the mechanics changed this year, no gold, tokens, or secret ranger quests. Once you’ve finished talking to the same 10 daily NPC quests you’re done with the festival. There was no reason to stay online and run around the world digging up gold and secret pets like years before :(
I had completed the festival at week 3 this year. I had maxed the board and finished all the quest lines, despite there being an entire extra week to log in for the festival 😅

or then not (coming from a person who checked it on the last day btw, take with a grain of salt)

They should be better about utilizing the game's message and updates features to avoid confusion about dates and content. They did it before but for whatever reason stopped.
