By this time, Icenia had become known around the server as one of the main destinations for new players, and eventually started gaining non-chan members into its folds. The result of this immigration was the creation of the "Oak Row" district, more or less a slum of houses located behind the now abandoned LordCheiftain tower, which had remained empty since Lord moved to his estate near Old Titan in Icenia. During Icenia's early days, the land where Oak Row was cleared of trees and flattened to make way for a fortified Yoahtl style village, however this never came into fruition and the result was land perfect for placing newfriends upon. Some newfriends that came during this era were Timbez, PaintedWolf666, Alphagale, and most infamously, sk8terg8tr, whos first actions upon joining Icenia were to raid Ram Ranch. |

Oak Row was soon considered by many to be a massive eyesore in the shadow of the Icenian downtown, which by May was almost fully built and many advocated for tearing down the homes there and making pre-built apartments for these players instead, however this never came about. It is notable that no resident of Oak Row has ever maintained Icenian elected office, as most elected officials from Icenia come from more affluent regions such as Stone Row (Anvil, Quanton_Biscut), JQ (Figasaur, Enforcer, ChrisChrispie), or Versailles Loop (Soundtech, Azu). |

The name oak row was given to the street upon which many [[Jargon|newfriends]] constructed their house. It is marked by buildings nearly completely constructed from the oak trees that blanket the island. While some consider it an eye sore, oak row has become a staple of Icenian culture and a reminder of Icenian history. In July, 2019 much of Oak Row was torn down as a result of the Sovia-Icenia War and the construction of the Icenian Space Needle, Icenia's main defensive sky bunker located in the center of the city. Today not much of the original Oak Row remains, however some buildings continue to exist in the area, though their time left in Icenia is unknown at this point. In August, 2019 Oak Row was effectively renamed Oakside, which contains within it Dizian's Tree, The Grand Icenian Stadium, and much of the land directly north of the Central Icenia district. The last true oak row home before the district was torn down completely and renamed was a basic two story oak building owned by Painted_Wolf666. |
