‼️DEAR VALKO GIRLS LISTEN UP‼️
I know today has been really hard, and it’s tough to keep going. But the next steps will be easier as we settle into a longer-term plan.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WE WILL GET A STATEMENT OUT OF THEM.
So far we have done amazing things and let our voices be heard everywhere on both sides. They are fully aware of our stance and now they are waiting us out.
This post isn't for hopium, it is a logical approach to the situation and our best course of action. Right now, either two things are likely happening:
1️⃣He is being revised.
Infold staying completely silent for both CN and Global is very strange. The only reason they even gave us an update today was because of download errors and it wasn't a proper post. They didn’t even pin the re-run banner. Something is clearly happening internally.
The official statement from CN authorities said he was taken offline for “rectification.” It’s possible he could return later as part of the second half of version 6.0 (similar to how Caleb was handled in 3.0). Remember they made two promises to us officially, only one has a seal and the discourse continues.
The “Wonder in Wander” re-run looks like a rushed move to save face with the whole Chinese culture situation, we all know it wasn’t next in line. The “Coming Soon” message was likely already in the UI from when Valko was still planned for 6.0. Given how many bugs they’re having in this version it's clearly rushed.
His EN X posts will probably get deleted soon, don't let that send you into panic. All this hate came heavily from his promotional materials and they might need to change things.
2️⃣ He is actually cancelled
Even if this is the case, too many are not happy about it. This kind of decision is usually made by investors and higher-ups worried about money and reputation, not the developers who understand his importance to the game. We can keep hurting their revenue and keep reminding them exactly why.
That could also mean they were too scared to release the next myth cause they knew we'd tank it. Well, we gonna tank the next release anyway they can't give us re-runs forever.
EITHER WAY THEY WILL BE WATCHING HOW THIS UNFOLDS LIKE HAWKS RIGHT NOW.
❗Global player spending and engagement remain significant factors. Organized, sustained action has worked in other games before. Why not us?
COURSE OF ACTION:
(Note: There is no deadline, we don't want to give them any ideas so we need to keep things sustainable and simple for us.)
🐺For those who are too tired all you have to do is these 'dailies' just like you'd do in game. It will only take you 5 minutes and keeps most pressure on them.
1. If they post anything on their official accounts, flood it with Valko's tags and his picture etc. (After July 9th blackout ends do that with their latest post too.)
2. Leave a negative review. Don't let the stars go back up.
3. Stay logged out, or if you absolutely cannot stop, minimize your playtime as much as possible.
4. DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY
5. Contact support with any of the e-mails below: Send a short pointed e-mail asking for Valko's return and express disappointment with losing such a crucial part of the lore, lack of trust and the precedent that Infold has set to its players.
[email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]
or use your VIP
That's it. Easy yeah? Do not underestimate it. It has always been the biggest impact we can make and money is the only real language they speak, we just need to stay consistent overtime.
Any new players they bring in are going to see exactly what they've done on their every post and they are not going to like that we're doing that. If they're set on making him a ghost then Valko is gonna haunt their ass.
Civility: Keep comments and reviews respectful and specific. This keeps the pressure professional and harder to ignore. DO NOT BULLY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO STILL PLAY THE GAME.
❗NOTE: Do not delete your accounts just uninstall! If you do your data is gone. If you just uninstall they will see you were an active player/spender and what day they lost you.
🐺If you're still full warrior mode:
Do the above and just keep the conversation going. Both on global and CN socials, we need to keep him alive! Use his tags, make art, bring some morale back. Do it because you want to, do not tire yourself out.
Please help especially with the CN side because they are low on morale right now and we need to make sure they keep speaking out. (Which a lot of them still are)
If there is anything that requires specific concentrated effort I'll announce it so stay active.
REMEMBER: We’re not asking for the impossible. We're asking them to honor what was already in development. It's not that hard.
Please take care of your mental health. You are not alone.
Happy Birthday Valko!

✨ INFORMACIÓN FILTRADA SUPUESTAMENTE DEL EQUIPO DE VALKO ✨
Hace unos días publiqué varias entradas sobre 🐺 (el lobo).
En ese momento una cuenta secundaria me envió un mensaje privado. Me contó mucha información y luego borró parte de los mensajes.
En esencia, lo que decía era que la dirección ya había renunciado al personaje. Los empleados estaban destrozados; el equipo del proyecto hacía horas extra hasta las 2 de la madrugada, pero probablemente ni siquiera recibirían el bono de fin de año.
✨ La nueva carta de 🐺 era parecida a la del faraón: llevaba un collar de la tribu de los lobos que brillaba con un resplandor dorado. Qué pena que ya no podamos verla.✨
Para salvar este juego, y para salvar a los otros cinco personajes, la dirección decidió abandonar a 🐺.
En ese momento no quería aceptarlo. 😭 Ahora, viéndolo, ¿será que realmente me encontré con alguien del equipo de desarrollo?
En resumen, la carta del lobito era muy bonita. Qué lástima.
Es muy triste... Creo que el equipo de producción sí lo apreciaba. Lo lamentable es que quienes toman las decisiones no lo querían...
Sí. El equipo que hacía a 🐺 realmente le tenía cariño; ya habían preparado muchas cartas para él.
Pero al final fue abandonado por la dirección para salvar a los otros cinco personajes.
Una cosa más, se me olvidó publicar esto.
Después de que esa cuenta secundaria me escribiera, envió otro mensaje:
✨"Le gusta morder las pajitas y aplastar las cajitas. Cuando duerme, deja adrede las orejas y la cola fuera de la manta para que puedas verlas. Cuando compra algo nuevo, primero lo olfatea con curiosidad..."✨
Un personaje no solo lleva la historia sobre sus hombros; también lleva el esfuerzo y el cariño de sus creadores, así como las expectativas de los jugadores.
Un juego no puede gustarle a todo el mundo, pero al menos debería gustarle a alguien.
Los juegos otome nunca han sido realmente una "categoría de videojuegos"; igual que las etiquetas "orientado a mujeres" o "para público general", son solo etiquetas.
¿es cierto que el pequeño lobo, como dicen los rumores, creció en una familia feliz, tuvo una vida sin problemas y posee una personalidad muy positiva y optimista?
Ha sido un vagabundo.
(Es decir, confirma que el personaje tuvo un pasado de vagabundo o sin hogar, contradiciendo el rumor de que creció en una familia feliz.)
