Chapter 237
And one cinematic video played simultaneously for everyone.
Because of this, everyone who was playing at that time rushed to Arpendia and started asking all sorts of questions.
-What was the video that was played earlier?
-World tree? Why did the world tree suddenly appear?
-Is the girl in that video a world tree?
-A child of the world tree? What title is this?
- Someone please explain! Now this is a mess!!!!
-I think I\'m going crazy! I think I\'m going crazy! I think I\'m going crazy! I think I\'m going crazy!
A video that is completely incomprehensible without any background knowledge. However, as if the setting fan is present in any game, soon after, a detailed and extensive analysis video of this update began to circulate all over Arfandia.
[Yes viewers. Nice to meet you. This time, it has been updated with the name Pangea. As you can tell just by looking at the name, all 8 continents that were divided so far have been integrated into one! wow! Isn\'t that great? Then, from now on, you can enjoy playing together with other foreign users. So I also took this opportunity...]
[Uh, guys. You know from watching the video, right? Again, the Arcadia operators did the job this time. Isn’t this older brother also very knowledgeable about Arcadia’s worldview? That\'s when I thought As for this update.....]
As a streamer who uploads videos on Arfandia, this is something that can\'t be tolerated at all. So, all kinds of information started pouring in through them, but most of it was just a no-nonsense aggressive video to suck up views and subscribers using this incident as an excuse.
-No, are there any game companies that do not provide additional explanations while updating something?
-Really. All the information circulating in Arpendia is garbage.
-No hahahahaha. But was this worldwide integrated single server possible with current technology?
-really;; Have aliens abducted? What is a real-time interpretation and translation system?
- Arcadia management, you damn bastards! Make a quick announcement before you break into the company.
A situation that requires a lot of explanation and clarification. That\'s when users are bubbling around. The media also excitedly bit into this rice cake and started carrying firewood hard.
- Arcadia Co., Ltd.! First major update Pangea surprise release!
-Unification of all continents? Arcadia implemented the world\'s first single server.
- Arcadia\'s technology that is covered in a veil. A world in shock.
- The appearance of the world tree. Pre-announcement of a new grand narrative? What about it?
-Large server consolidation with 10 minutes notice and applied. The insider of the game.
All kinds of false information and speculative articles pouring in because streamers and reporters are all eager to suck up the number of views. As a result, it was the phones of Arcadia executives and employees spread all over the world that started to burn.
“There is no official position regarding this update yet. We will distribute the press release as soon as it comes out, so please wait.”
[No, but can you give me a little bit of information? Why is there still no press release after such a surprise update?] It\'s
not just a minor balance adjustment or addition of a hunting ground, it\'s the integration of all the continents divided into 8. There was no doubt that it was a super-large incident that the aftermath could not be small in the current situation where the number of Arcadia users around the world has exceeded 4 billion.
“We are also waiting for instructions from the upper level regarding the update. It will come out soon, so please wait a little longer.”
[Wait. Then, one more question.....]
Manager Kang Tae-hun puts the phone down without listening to the reporter. He thought to himself as he held on to the phones around him and looked at the staff who dealt with all kinds of inquiries with a confused look on their faces.
‘Eventually... it started.\'
In the Korean branch, except for President Lee Mi-yeon, only Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Tae-Hoon Kang knew.
Since no one knew the relevant information in advance, the employees who were responding ignorantly to this situation had a blank look at the explosive inquiries that were incomparable to before.
And looking back at the staff of the crisis management and response team, General Manager Kang Tae-hun smiled bitterly.
‘One.... For this time, I wanted to rest well until then...\'
Director Kang Tae-hun, who had already been aware of the moment of hell to come from several months ago. That\'s why I was considering them so that they could enjoy their freedom to the fullest in their peaceful daily life, but I couldn\'t because of the fourth scenario of the Korean server that exploded at the last minute.
“Yes customer. If you say one more verbal abuse, such as not to be a jerk, the consultation will end.”
“No, because we don’t know anything? Why do you keep asking us to answer facts we don’t even know?”
“What do you do with your salary? No matter how angry you are, you shouldn\'t say such things.”
“No..... Ha..... Fuck really..... Yes? no. I didn\'t say anything, sir. yes.”
Employees who seem to be getting more and more nasty. After appreciating them for a short time, Manager Kang Tae-hoon suddenly made a bitter expression of sorry and guilt welling up in his heart.
‘Consulting customers... isn\'t something humans do.\'
A place full of corruption and darkness that even Jesus, who is synonymous with mercy and love, can wield a cross in less than a month to break the earthen pot of unripe consumers.
General Manager Kang Tae-hun expressed his silent respect for the entire crisis management response team and customer satisfaction service team who are enduring day by day, suffering without any promise of liberation from that hell.
I hope that this situation will be resolved as smoothly and quickly as possible this time.
* * *
A video conference with the general managers of all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd.
At the meeting, President Lee Mi-yeon listened to the discussions on country-by-country responses to this update and follow-up measures from each branch manager.
[The overall details of this update must be fully disclosed to users. The reaction of Japanese users right now is not a level that can be ignored. At this rate, they\'re going to turn all users into enemies!]
Branch manager Kazuki, who was in charge of the Japanese continent.
However, Emily, who was in charge of the North American continent, strongly opposed his words.
[Isn’t that what we talked about earlier? The hot reaction from users is the same situation on any continent. It can never be a good precedent for a company to disclose more information than necessary just because a user requests it.]
[Europe\'s position is the same. Once you start fulfilling a demand, that demand has no choice but to get stronger and stronger. Besides, isn\'t it the most important topic right now?]
[If this isn\'t the most important topic, then what? From just now, the European and North American branch offices have continued to oppose it together...]
[Wait a minute. I have something to say. The Chinese government said they violated their legal obligations regarding this update and said they would conduct an official investigation into Arcadia\'s Chinese branch.....] [
Eh..... In the case of Southeast Asia...]
[In the case of Oceania, rather Opposite! Positively enthusiastic users...]
Branch managers who only say what they want to say, open their mouths all at once, and talk diligently. When executive director Kwon Myeong-han gets restless at the video conference, which has already become uncontrollable, and is watching President Lee Mi-yeon. She simply operated the screen with her fingers.
[All attendees have been set to mute.]
“I heard the opinions of all the branch managers. But seeing how the meeting is going on now, I feel like if I let you guys talk to each other, we\'ll just keep fighting and we won\'t come to a good decision... I save all of us time and organize things so we don\'t waste energy.”
Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia, who has no direct involvement in Arcadia, but has complete and exclusive authority over the company\'s operations.
Normally, she acts like a nerd who is not very interested in company affairs, but whenever an incident occurs, she wields such powerful authority that she can be called a tyrant. He rolled his eyes.
“From now on, listen carefully to what I am saying and disclose it to the users and media in each country as it is.”
[.....]
They couldn\'t say anything because they were muted, but the branch managers listened intently and only looked at President Lee Mi-yeon\'s mouth. She said to all of them.
“This update, Pangea, began with the mythical existence of the World Tree regaining its power and uniting the continents that had been scattered in the past through this. Now, all users will be able to enjoy their own adventure by going through countless secrets and stories while going back and forth across a huge unified continent. In a vast world that is incomparable to today.”
The story of President Lee Mi-yeon, which begins with the story that was revealed to all users this time. Contrary to the expectations of the branch managers who gulped as if wondering what was next, her mouth closed with that.
“end. Let’s just talk about this much.”
[....?]
[....?]
Although the sound was muted, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was able to grasp at once what they wanted to say by looking at the faces of the branch managers who were making faces of astonishment.
‘Is that all about the announcement that the company is on fire...?\'
‘Ha..... Really, a guy like that is also the president...
‘
13 hours have already passed since this update was applied.
It was a situation where even if announcing the official position right away and publicizing and publicizing a large number of updates, it would not be enough, and they did not even properly respond to speculative articles and chirashis in the media.
In the meantime, impatient users couldn\'t stand the stuffiness and went back and forth between the Internet and reality, burning firewood while committing all sorts of messes. did.
- Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Do you want to try it with us now?
[....!]
[....!]
The president and the head of the branch show enthusiastic responses by gesturing with their hands as if to quickly mute or loosen the tone. In response to their earnest eyes, the managing director carefully conveyed their wishes to President Lee Mi-yeon.
“I... boss. I don\'t think users or journalists will be satisfied with what you just said. It is also a situation where time has already been delayed... and it contains too much information that has not yet been released to the public.”
Holy War.
world tree.
angel.
devil.
mission.
Forgotten Myth.
There was a splendid mixture of rice cakes that could not stand even one, but users were impatient because there was no properly disclosed information. The official stance given by President Lee Mi-yeon to these users was no different from the act of throwing a drum full of oil into a blazing firewood.
“I can not help it. Arcadia\'s key information cannot be publicly disclosed by the company. It is information that has no choice but to be revealed as time goes by, and there are related clues all over Arcadia, so we can\'t pollute it.”
Information that may be a clue to many stories to come. So, President Lee Mi-yeon thought of solving this situation in a different way.
“Instead, let’s come up with something else to distract you a little from this.”
[....?]
The branch managers raise question marks at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. After e-mailing them all, she said, confidently picking up a wad of thick paper.
“The first and largest event in commemoration of the continental unification, the ‘World\'s First Fighting Championship\', which was ambitiously planned by the crisis management and response team of the Korean branch.”
On that day, Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced the first integration notice after the Pangea update to the world.
With a short comment about the Pangea update, wishing users good health.
The first event to wish for a place of dialogue where users all over the world participate together.
It\'s the first martial arts competition in the world.
