App ranking on CN iOS App Store:

The CN servers reset, and WIW is gone. No banner has replaced it. These are the current events in the game:

Here is my post from earlier on the 9m9 situation. Below is an update. Here's hoping we get some good news about a lawsuit (or an arrest) in the morning!

My Thoughts On No Current Banner

Honestly, I think it is a really good thing for several reasons.

They didn't shadow-drop content. We're fairly confident in the fact that they can't post any updates, so it's slightly comforting to know that they didn't simply throw something in the game.

Their attention is likely focused elsewhere. If they didn't implement any changes into the game, I think it's fair to assume that they have plenty of other things on their plate that require their attention.

They're not fucking up the rerun schedule even further. We're already out of order because of the WIW banner, so I'm glad that we're not straying further off track.

They didn't attempt to drop Raf's 4th myth in the midst of the most chaotic few days of our protest. They're being smart—for once.

They're not making any drastic attempts to get people to log in. This makes me think that they finally have a plan in place.

Most importantly, banners and events are scheduled far in advance. We know that Valko was in development for at least two years, and pieces of his story have been hinted at throughout the main story. It's logical to assume that the only true way forward is with him.

Any multi-banners that they've been working on will include him, simply because his release was scheduled. The fact that they're not attempting to drop anything new tells me what we're at somewhat of a standstill—or, perhaps, a turning point.

The bottom line is that I think we're at a point where they have to realize what they're risking. It's become blatantly obvious that the ones who want Valko are the heavy spenders—I mean, the revenue reports speak for themselves. Businesses speak one language fluently and it's money. By now, we've made them well aware that our wallets are closed until Valko is reinstated.

Basically, I believe there's light at the end of the tunnel. We've found the culprits, we have enough evidence to go after them, and the support for Valko's release is as strong as ever. This isn't just hopium—this is genuine logic. The only way forward for Infold in terms of the game's continued success, the main story's development, the return of their revenue, and the satisfaction of their customers is releasing Valko. It doesn't take a genius to see that.

Assuming that we are correct about the reason for their silence, I think we can truly expect an answer from them at the end of July. I'm not placing all of my bets on that, but I think it's the closest thing to a checkpoint that we have. Overall, I think things are finally looking up for us in a big way.
