Tianchao, Imperial Capital, University City.
Li Mu sat in front of his laptop, looking at the chaotic discussion area on the "Elf Kingdom" official forum, and shook his head gently.
Just yesterday, the Great Saint War that lasted over a month finally ended.
However, the outco of the Great Saint War was quite unexpected.
Without any ga background or cutscenes, players were confused and sohow won...
This lousy ga experience instantly ignited the players’ anger.
A while ago, the "Elf Kingdom" ga officials had done a lot to set up this storyline, with one CG after another, and the high level of engagent had raised players’ anticipation for victory to an unprecedented level.
However, players who thought they would be the Savior turning the tide found themselves just tools in the story during the final battle...
That’s one thing, after all, in many online gas, when it cos to key storylines, players are just tools, and the decisive ones are often important NPCs.
But the thing is, how can you not even provide an NPC combat CG?
Winning in confusion, ending in confusion, not even a ga CG—what’s going on?
Also, where did the World Tree in the Chosen City go?
How co even the Goddess’s true form disappeared while fighting?
All these doubts are concentrated together, coupled with a not so comfortable ga experience, it’s hard for players not to blow up.
Thus... "Elf Kingdom" was utterly drowned in spit and fury.
The official forums, Tieba, Weibo, Zhihu... anywhere frequented by netizens, all turned into "Elf Kingdom" boycott posts, with all sorts of curses flooding in, greetings to the planners and operators have reached their ancestors for eighteen generations, and voices of quitting the ga are getting louder...
"Tired, tired, this trash ga wastes emotions, waited so long for the final battle, just this?!"
"Where’s the Goddess? My Goddess? How co the Goddess disappeared during the fight?"
"LOL, the faction leader disappeared, can you imagine..."
"The planners should go first!"
"Trash ga, wasting ti, refund and quit the ga!"
"Quitting, quitting, no matter what is said I won’t play anymore, this ga is too exhausting!"
"..."
All kinds of anger-filled posts flooded Blue Star Network, and looking at the comnt section on "Elf Kingdom" official forums buried in rage, Li Mu sighed deeply.
To be honest, as one of the earliest players, the feelings and efforts he poured into "Elf Kingdom" were definitely among the top even among all server players.
The ending of this "Elf Kingdom" Great Saint War made even him, who is usually rather forgiving, quite unhappy, and he even plans to specially make a video to vent.
However, there’s being upset, and there’s being angry.
Seeing the ga he loves yet is disappointed with being condemned across the web brings not only solace through resonance but also inexplicable sadness, or perhaps... an iron not turning into steel sentint.
"The higher you climb, after problems arise, the harder you fall..."
"This ti, with such a commotion, there has to be more than just ’Elf Kingdom’ official’s poor handling speed, maybe so other ga companies are stirring things up..."
Li Mu said with a sigh.
But just as he refreshed the site, ready to upload his freshly-made rant video to the video site, a system notification sound rang in the chat group all of a sudden.
It was the most active offline chat group he joined related to "Elf Kingdom." Almost all mbers were frequent face-to-face attendees of offline activities, with many big shots.
Li Mu felt a stir inside, clicked open the chat group, and what he saw was nothing but information related to "Elf Kingdom"—
Demacia: "Brothers! ’Elf Kingdom’ official issued an apology announcent!"
Optimist: "Apology announcent? Are they passing the buck to the temp workers again?"
Chopin: "Sigh... ’Elf Kingdom’s’ traditional skill."
Dongdong: "Not gonna play anymore, no matter what they say, I’m done, I should quit the ga and study hard, or else I won’t graduate."
...
One ssage after another flashed by in the chat interface, everyone was still full of resentnt.
Until the next ssage from Demacia appeared:
"What the heck?! Limited-ti mall half-price compensation? There’s also a month’s free ga mbership and login subsidy?"
"..."
"What the heck?"
"What?!?"
"Where’s the link?"
The following replies triggered a series of exclamation marks...
Half-price discount?
Li Mu was stunned for a mont.
Then his eyes lit up.
This... if it’s true, would definitely be considered a big move.
Bear in mind, "Elf Kingdom"’s mall has quite a few legendary-priced golden gear that even Li Mu feels one’s liver would hurt looking at...
If there’s a half discount...
Hiss...
He gasped, then excitedly clicked on the link that Demacia sent to the group—
