STOVE
[Protest] – Violation of ‘Road Nine’ operating philosophy and demand for official response
Recipient: Smilegate, NX3 GAMES
Title: Request for explanation of violation of 'Road Nine' operating philosophy and call for future response
I am a user who enjoys your MMORPG **'Lord Nine'**.
The '5 operating philosophies' revealed at the 2025 announcement were a promise based on trust with users. However, the recent updates and your company's response directly violate that promise, and are causing serious distrust and backlash throughout the user community.
[Items that are violated among the 5 operating philosophies that your company promised]
Probabilistic Item Stress Relief→ Despite the announcement that “only one avatar exists for random draws,”
→ With the recent update, the artifact probability draw system was introduced, which added excessive probability content.
Paid experience/cash equipment not sold
→ In reality, whether or not you pay has a significant impact on your combat power and growth rate.
Preserving item value and respecting the economy between users
→ The game balance is collapsing and the trading ecosystem between users is being violated due to random paid items.
💬 Despite the fact that many users have repeatedly pointed this issue out through the official community and customer center, your company has not yet made any official statement.
[Requirements]
Clear and official statement of position on violation of operating philosophy Provide transparent explanations and fix plans for issue updates (e.g. introduction of artifact probabilities) Announcement of a plan to maintain practical compensation and future operating philosophy to restore user trust
[Official Warning – Call for Legal Responsibility]
If your company continues to ignore legitimate complaints and questions from users, this may be a violation of the following laws. If we determine that there is no official response, we will take the following actions:
→ Prohibition of unfair advertising that misleads consumers
※ After the announcement that “there is only one random item, avatar,” the artifact random draws added may be considered deceptive advertising.
Article 21 of the Act on Consumer Protection in Electronic Commerce, etc.
→ Prohibition of acts that cause unfair disadvantages and failure to fulfill notification obligations
※ Silence on user complaints and failure to sufficiently notify important updates may be an abuse of business position and a violation of the duty to notify.
Article 32 of the Act on Promotion of the Game Industry
→ Obligation to protect users' rights and create a fair usage environment
※ Failure to notify about probabilistic content and paid systems may result in legal liability.
[Countermeasures]
File a formal complaint or complaint with the Korea Consumer Agency, Fair Trade Commission, or other relevant organizations. Review legal procedures, including claims for damages, in cooperation with consumer rights groups and legal advisory agencies. Launching a press release and protest campaign with the User Community Alliance I don't want to attack or harm 'Lord Nine'.
However, promises must be kept, and fair and responsible operation is what all users expect.
Your silence may be interpreted as a possible violation of law rather than a choice.
I hope the operating philosophy at the time of the showcase wasn't just a marketing slogan.
We look forward to a sincere explanation and a changed response.
thank you

You have some good skills!
But aren't the real experts faster?
Hello. This is Team Tetrapod. We released the early access for the second spin-off of the Stepper series, 'Dice Eater: Psychic Mystery Card Game' last March. 'Dice Eater' was a new and challenging project for the team, and as a result, we confirmed that the direction of our challenge was far from what gamers expected. Originally, the official release version of 'Dice Eater' was going to include a roguelike challenge mode, but since the basic play of 'Dice Eater' received poor reviews, we decided that this direction would not change the game for the better. That's why we decided to scrap the 'Challenge Mode' that was planned to be developed, and develop 'Story Mode Part 2', story-centered content.
If Part 1 of the currently released story mode was about "interpreting" the opponent's superpower, Part 2 will be about "applying" the discovered superpower and confronting more powerful opponents. After receiving another invitation to the exchange meeting after Part 1, Crow will start using steppes in the game to counter the situation where multiple steppes are used. Based on the feedback from gamers, the official release version scheduled for the June update aims to have the overall gameplay pace be faster and the story elements have a greater proportion. It will be difficult to change the systematic foundation of [Dice Eater], but we will strive to make it a game that at least has some meaning for those who play it.

Day 29 : 2 thousand
There are 2,000 flakes left for today and tomorrow.
It was a sweet event that was paid out every day for a month.
I wonder what events will be added next month.
@ [ New] Introduction to Chopsticks
https://store.onstove.com/ko/games/100963
A game that challenges you with physics-based puzzles about picking up food while naturally learning about the origins of chopsticks.
It's supposed to be a physics-based puzzle. You can do this with a mouse and keyboard???
It says high difficulty on the tag.
Launch discount 30% -> 3,150 won.
@[ New Release Alert] Dwerve
An epic action adventure with tower defense battles! Explore a ruined kingdom and fend off hordes with turrets and traps! Throw enemies into pits, pull them in with your Spinblade! Shock them and burn them!
A work that received good reviews in the neighboring town but unfortunately did not support Korean is undergoing the "Koreanization of Stove."
I'm looking forward to seeing a well-received game being translated into Korean.
@[ New Release Alert] A Day in the Life of a Contract Girlfriend: Larer and Liris (Normal)
This is a classic match 3 game that is fun, challenging and romantic. You have to complete various missions and challenges by removing identical jewels! Connect them quickly to remove them! Each time you successfully pass a level, you will be rewarded with elaborate and beautiful illustrations.
Hmm, an unexpected work has been added to the lineup.
I looked into it because the title said (general), and it turns out there are other versions.
But everyone will buy these works with some kind of expectation.
Are you trying to win based on gameplay?
I'm worried that it will turn out to be a steamed bun without red bean paste.
@[ New Release Notification] CUSTOM ORDER MAID 3D2 It's a Night Magic
Empire Club. A high-class bar where gentlemen and ladies gather. The beautiful maids working there dance and chat to entertain the guests.
Oh! Another unexpected piece of work lol
As the title suggests, it seems like a game that is serious about customization.
There are so many DLCs, I wonder how they will be released...
First of all, it is not translated into Korean based on the neighborhood standards, but this work does not have the Korean translation of Stove written on it.
Also, since it is a VR-supported game, I think you can enjoy it even if it is not required.
There is a patch for this work as well, but we will wait for news from the vanguard after its release.
@[ New Release Alert] Blazing Strike
Challenge fighters from across dimensions in Blazing Strike! After most of the world was wiped out, what remains of human civilization is in turmoil. In a dystopian world where a corrupt government has taken over and has no qualms about killing, a resistance group seeks to protect its citizens. Can they overthrow the evil dictators? Enter the world of Blazing Strike and embark on a long journey to victory.
It's been a while since I've seen a new fighting game.
These days, fighting games like Tekken and Spa are so strong...
The reaction from the neighboring town is a bit lukewarm.

Hello, I had a day off yesterday so I passed on the music recommendations.
This is a music recommendation that is secretly used at work, so it doesn't come up unless you go to work.
Instead, please look forward to other articles that will be posted on my days off.
Song title: The end means the beginning again (feat. Kang A-yoon)
Composer: Warak
This is Warak's song that is often seen in game OSTs.
If you've ever played Sannabi, you'll feel a twinge of emotion in your heart.
Of course, even if you haven't played it, the song is just good.
In particular, the melody arrangement and the variations in the middle of the song are amazing.
The vocalist's voice also fits perfectly into the song.
Listening to this song while writing makes me want to see a mountain butterfly.
On my way home from work today, I should rewatch the Sannabi story on YouTube.
