Chapter 159-3: This Isn’t Dark Land! (3) |
On the other side.
After Iron Hammer entered the game, he immediately spoke in the team chat channel.
Iron Hammer: Brothers, something big happened. The Principal is probably about to have an emotional breakdown.
Drunken Milk: What happened? He didn’t snag a slot this round either, but not snagging one is normal. Didn’t he say if he couldn’t get it he’d keep trying for the cracked version? How did his mindset suddenly explode?
Black Ball: Poor Principal, destined to have no fate with the official version. Just grab the cracked version like us. When the official version fully opens up the slots later, we’ll make up the ticket.
Iron Hammer: It’s not that he didn’t get it. The Principal was already prepared to fail. The problem is he actually did get an official game slot.
Class Rep: He got it and still had a breakdown? (God of Wealth bewildered.jpg)
Iron Hammer: Here’s the situation. After the Principal got the official slot and entered the game, he found that the settings of the official game were completely different from the cracked Dark Land we talked about in the group. The physical presentation and the realism of the models were all different. It’s basically certain that the Dark Land sold through official channels and the cracked Dark Land we downloaded via link are two entirely different games.
Iron Hammer: So you realize the problem, right? The gameplay experience of the official Dark Land simply can’t compare with the cracked one we’re playing now. Kindergarten Principal entered full of expectations, thinking he could experience a perfect virtual reality game, but then he found a bunch of problems in-game. At first he didn’t take it seriously, thinking we were messing with him. Then he added me in-game and ended up adding an alien-race player. Later he completed the initial quest and was even more baffled, discovering that even the skill settings were different. Only then did he confirm that the game he’s in is simply not the same one we described…
Gulu: What now? Is the Principal planning to request a refund or go to the official website to complain to the Lunar Eclipse race customer service?
Iron Hammer: The Principal plans to first ask on the Humanity Rising forum to find out the specifics and understand why the two games are different, then decide whether to refund. It’s really too tilting. I didn’t realize the official and cracked were two different games. I was even thinking of making up the ticket later.
Cute Baby: So everyone playing with us is a cracked-version player downloaded via link???
Marble: Let’s go to the forum and make a post to ask first, figure out the specifics, and give the Principal a clear answer. Then think about how to resolve it. The Principal urgently needs comfort right now. After we figure it out, let’s all log off and go find the Principal.
Iron Hammer: Okay, I’ll go make a forum post to ask.
Before long, the post Iron Hammer published refreshed on the forum, continuously drawing players into the discussion.
[Brothers, something big has happened. Details inside. It’s about the game Dark Land released by the Lunar Eclipse race.]
Poster: Iron Hammer.
Content:
First, let me ask everyone a question. How did you get your game slot, exactly!
Don’t lie. Tell us whether you purchased and downloaded Dark Land through official channels, or downloaded the cracked Dark Land through a mysterious link.
I’ll confess the truth first. The brothers in the Kindergarten Group and I all downloaded the cracked Dark Land through a mysterious link.
I’m seeking help on the forum because a good brother of mine encountered something that boggles my mind.
The specifics go back to five months ago, when Dark Land distributed the first round of slots…
Now the situation is that my good brother finally succeeded in grabbing the official game, but after entering the game he found something off.
Gameplay mechanics, background setting, visuals and audio… none of it matched the cracked version we’re playing. My brother is on the verge of collapse. He worked so hard to get an official slot, but the game isn’t the same as what we’re playing.
So I’m here to ask everyone on the forum: did you download the cracked version or the official version, and why is it that my good brother downloaded the official version yet the content can’t compare at all with the one I’m playing now? I even suspect the Lunar Eclipse race sent the wrong game and gave my good brother an early test build.
This question can only be entrusted to the handsome and beautiful friends on the forum to answer.
Comments:
Dark Security Guard: Brother, I’ll be honest, I downloaded the cracked version. Please delete your post quickly. If Starnet finds out we’re using cracked versions, we’ll all get banned. I beg you to delete it. Starnet isn’t joking around. If I get banned I’ll fall apart. I feel awful if I go a single day without playing. Even food outside doesn’t taste good. I can understand you posting for help for your brother, but don’t harm other players.
Ma Guocheng, Deputy General of Jinling: Damn, so there are this many cracked versions? I thought you were all official. Turns out only me and a few friends are on cracked. I’m really confused now. So how many cracked versions are there exactly? Is there a possibility the whole game is full of cracked-version players?
Fox I Don’t Eat History: Feels like the heat of this post has already exploded. There’s no way to hide it now. I’ll confess too. I downloaded the cracked version, but when I mentioned it in-game, I always said I was lucky and bought the official version. I suppose those brothers who brag online about finally grabbing one also used the cracked version. Let fate decide. I hope Starnet can be lenient and not ban us. I don’t want to leave this game (Explorer wiping tears.jpg)
Vosnidia: I’ll confess too. I downloaded the cracked game slot, but I paid real money via offline transfer for Sacrificial Power. They won’t ban me, right? If I have to start leveling from zero, I’ll cry myself unconscious. Also, for the record, I tried grabbing the official slot many times and simply couldn’t. Otherwise I wouldn’t have downloaded the cracked version. I always thought the cracked version and the official-channel version were the same game, but your post has left me baffled.
God King: Damn, you’re all on cracked versions? Only I’m on the official one… forget it, I won’t pretend anymore. I’m also on the cracked version. I couldn’t grab the official back then and was ready to go back to Conquest and try again next round. Then a download link suddenly appeared in the guild group, and it turned out some brothers really got into the game, so all our guild brothers came in.
Emperor-Skinned I’m Not God: After reading the post I actually think your friend has great luck. First, he happened to encounter the early distribution of the cracked version, which is obviously a small probability. Second, all of you grabbed it but he missed out because he was asleep and did not participate, which is also a small probability. Then he managed to grab the cracked version, but again missed account activation because he was sleeping and it was reclaimed, which is extremely low probability. Finally he even grabbed the Dark Land released through official channels. Add up these probabilities and I suspect your friend is a Child of Fortune.
Game Gold-Farmer: Seeing so many brothers admitting they downloaded the cracked version, I suddenly thought of something. No wonder I didn’t see other players when the server opened. I thought it was a server with channels and I entered a freshly opened server, so I couldn’t see anyone else. Thinking back now, I might even be player No. 1 on the whole server… By the way, I’m also on the cracked version.
Dirt Poor: Good grief, the truth is too outrageous. It feels like a bunch of people smuggled into a new country through irregular channels. In order not to be discovered, everyone claimed to be natives of that country and never noticed any problem. When the truth was revealed, it turned out everyone living here was smuggled in. Too funny. I hope they don’t hand out bans.
