It will only serve as more of a hassle to the users for having to do extra steps, and developers who will have to provide extra support because this will confuse a lot of people.
This decision feels like it was made by some manager who read about oauth phishing on some business site, and decided he needed to do something to continue seeming relevant, even if he had no idea what he was talking about.

Is there at least a roughish time frame for moving away from OAuth? Months? Weeks? Even the roughest time frame will help me decide if I should implement this temporarily with OAuth, or if I should just hold off until the new method is ready.

If you want solo roaming, stay away from T1. I used to solo roam all the time when TC was a T2 server, I took a break for 7 or 8 months, and when I got back, TC is now solidly T1. Unless you only play in the off hours, which there aren’t a lot of on T1, you’ll constantly get run over by large “roaming” groups and zergs. The only viable solo roaming is on builds made for running away, and the last thing T1 needs is more nike warriors running away at the drop of a hat.
