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
I bought it using the Rzcos Player Club 40% coupon
Just to see Narittaek
Na~ri~t~e~t~
The golden egg coupon expires today, so I'll have to look hard for it in the afternoon.

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.

Top Ranker Mode ON 👑
But you mustn't let your guard down!
레전드 오브 키퍼. 커리어 오브 던전 매니저.
인디 게임이지만, 깔끔해보였고 무엇보다 소재가 특출났다. 던전 다키스트를 손바닥으로 뒤집은 것이지만, 사실 그렇게 하는게 얼마나 어려운지 우리는 살아가면서 잘 알고 있다.
마스터를 레벨업시키고, 특성도 존재한다. 초기화도 자유롭고 입맛에 골라서 할 수 있다. 다만 특성에 따른 변화가 확실하지 않다.
특성을 통한 '컨셉 플레이' 같은 것을 하기가 조금은 어려웠다. 한 20% 정도 도와주는 정도? 성장해도 겨우 20% 도와주니, 성장을 무조건 해야겠다는 욕구가 잘 생기지 않았다. 확실한 컨셉을 잡고 이를 받쳐줘야하는데 마스터의 특성은 그게 좀 부족하게 여겨졌다.
물론 마스터마다의 특징이 확고하기는 했다. 다만 그 특징 속에 분화가 일어나며 가시처럼 우뚝 선 컨셉 플레이는 적고, 특성업을 하든 안 하든 마스터마다 할 수 있는 플레이는 몇 가지로 한정된다. 화염, 공포, 출혈. 이렇게 몇 가지로만 나눠져 있을 뿐이고 그마저도 도찐개찐이다.
몬스터 직원도 게임 끝까지 같이가는게 아니라, 1라운드를 클리어하면 그 다음에는 또 새로 시작해야한다는 단점이 있었다.
성장해도 뚝 끊어버리는 식이다.
동시에 다양한 시스템이 없다는 것도 한 몫했다. 예를들면 만렙을 찍은 몬스터 직원이 있다면 '베테랑 용병'이 해금되며 해당 몬스터의 강화 버전을 고용할 수 있었다면 더 재밌었을 것 같다.
혹은 몬스터 직원이 살해안 영웅의 숫자가 카운팅되며 누적되었을 때 몬스터 직원의 능력치를 성장시킬 수 있는 업적 시스템이 있었다면 조금 더 반복 플레이를 했을 것이다. 게임 회사는 플레이 타임을 늘리기 위해서 온갖 개짓거리를 다한다. 그건 분명 나쁜 짓이지만, 필요한 일이기도 한다.
그 외에 난이도에 따라서는 용사들 또한 몬스터를 죽이면 해당 용사가 강화되면 좋겠다는 생가도 했다.
헬 스트림 난이도 뭐 이딴 식으로. 도전욕구에 사타구니가 근질근질한 이들은 분명 좋아했을 것이다. 혹은 헬라운드 모드로 냈으면 좋았을지도
성장이 명확하지 않고, 난잡하다는 것도 아쉽다.
몬스터 직원을 훈련시켜도 내가 원하는 스킬을 강화하지 못하고 지들 멋대로 강화가 결정되어있다. 플레이어는 이에 굴종해야하며 결코 자유롭게 선택할 수 없다.
헬스트림 모드는 무한모드 하면 자연스레 헬모드 돼여. 제 몬스터 레벨 이제 20인데 적 영웅 50넘고 그럼
근데 이해가 되는게 제작진 분들도 아셔야하는게 무한모드 개방하기 전까지 솔직히 중간에 그만할까 생각도 함 지루해서 무한모드 개방되니까 커스텀하고 계속 헤쳐나가는 맛이 생겨서 하기 시작
무한모드나 증강모드는 본인이 덱 짜서 커스텀 가능해여..
도전 하고 싶으시면 무한모드 하시면 돼여..;; 몇판 굴리다 마신거 같은데
