Introduction

Good evening, gentle reader. My name is Raven, and I like to write about the silly little guys that pop into my head sometimes. I also shitpost a lot :P

I like dragons, Assassins Creed, Dungeons and Dragons, Twisted Wonderland, and Love and Deepspace 😊

All of my works are listed under #bardwrites if you wanna see them

Also, if you want me to write a little blurb about your OC, feel free to ask!

Don’t know how I ended up scrolling into the Native American side of the internet but y’all are pretty cool!!

[tryingmybardest-1]

Genuinely England is such a culture shock, not because of the culture or food or people, but because all of the places I’ve heard about in story books and nursery rhymes are actually real and it’s crazy because at some point along the way I think I just convinced myself that at least SOME of it was made up, but no ig not lmao

I am incredibly upset by this whole situation and I feel very sorry for the creative team responsible for creating Valko.

The decision taken by Infold has not only destroyed trust towards the company, but also damaged relations amongst fans. It was the worst possible choice. It’s not just incompetent, but also foolish, short-sighted, and only leaves the company more vulnerable to further blows of this kind.

I have no intention of changing my attitude towards the characters in any way, nor of stopping drawing any of them. It is the characters themselves—into whom the creative teams have put so much effort—that I love, not Infold’s attitude towards the fans.

Abt the whole Valko thing, I wrote something in the official server that I’m gonna post here as well jic something happens.

Honestly my main worry is the legal side of things as there was a VERY small but vocal group that got the Chinese state involved. I feel like the pressure was more political/legal than because of money.

Honestly this is messed up an all sides imo. This isn’t the first time that one of infold’s games got sent downhill due to political reasons. Lads’ predecessor (MLQC) had an issue in 2021 where one of the VAs was fired due to an accidental political message. I doubt he knew that what he said would result in him being fired, but Chinese laws would have destroyed the company had they not fired him. This drama resulted in a large percentage of people leaving the game and all of the VAs quitting the game (two in good graces with the company, two in bad graces) and being replaced. The game went steadily until they had to make the change to partial voice acting, but still did not make enough money. The game went EOS this March.

Right now, the issue, just like last time, is the lack of communication from infold. Rather than fully explaining their decision with something as simple as “Due to legal matters we cannot move forward with Valko” they try to keep it vague. Now the community is split between people blaming infold and people blaming the CN girlies when I feel like it’s more nuanced than that.

Yes infold is an greedy company but unlike most of their decisions this doesn’t feel like it was done purely because of money. Their office building was sent literal manure which is a huge health hazard and people were wishing death to them via the chrysanthemums. There were news reports on them, a detail in-game that was there for a while was suddenly the main point of attention. But they could and should have done more. Their PR team is shit

There are some CN girlies who are celebrating Valko’s removal, but others are grieving just like us. The people who harassed infold were very few, but even 10 can raise an eyebrow. Blaming all of them will be just as toxic and cruel when the vast majority are actual well adjusted people

Rather than placing the blame onto one group (CN Girlies, Infold, etc) it’s important for us to work together to try and solve this. Send emails, sign petitions, write posts, etc. Don’t spread hate.

But above ALL else make sure to focus on yourselves. I sincerely doubt this issue will be solved in the next 24h. If this really stresses you out then take a step back from social media (especially twt, it’s a dumpster fire over there. Saw one person call another brain dead for liking Valko and blamed both Valko and infold for all of this. I will not be including them in the sources to not cause unnecessary drama). Take care of yourselves, drink water, go to sleep, cry if you need to, engage in other hobbies, etc. Your mental health is more important than this game. If you can’t take action without worsening your own mental health then don’t

Lads will not reach EOS any time soon. They were able to keep MLQC running for 5 years, I know they’ll try their best to keep it alive from a functionality point of view.

Infold, if you’re somehow reading this, a small update could calm things down. Legally, idk how much you can say, but even a simple “Dear Hunters, We cannot discuss all of our reasons behind everything due to current legal matters. We apologize for any stress caused by our recent announcement. Here’s a code for (idk how much I personally think 50 pulls in dias in case ppl wanna spend it on something else)”. And if you can say more, PLEASE say more. The biggest issue right now is your vagueness tearing the community apart. We do not want a repeat of MLQC
