    There are ways.

    One of these ways is to send a good amount of emails to ask for a way to communicate with them (a forum, a discord server, a dedicated facebook page).

    Use a vpn to write in the steam page for TWSW, it's self published so i think they watch it?

    A massive complain via comments in their official post, we will need to comment almost at the same time asking for the same thing.

    We can coordinate in a dedicated discord server.

    I gave you the idea and i espect just one thing in return. Don't use what i wrote above to make demands about data transfer or something of the sort.

    OUR PRIORITY IS TO HAVE A DIRECT WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.

    And then after that we can make our demands.

    1)I will say something about this at the end of this post.

    2)I agree with you, it's better if we talk about it with LG but we need to do something as a community because if only one of us take action then they will not listen. I sent a mail to LG to ask about the bankshare more than 50 hours ago but still no answer and in the official post on fb they didn't write.

    3)Fair point, this is most likely the same as what End wrote after your post. But i think i'm not entirely wrong either, we don't know their financial status or if they can really wait to earn a stable income.

    At this point to get an answer we can only wait and see what they will do about the moneygrab policy in the near future.

    1)League of legend is a game for profit, it's just that they can make profit with just skins, but they still have an income.

    About free indie games, maybe they are marketing bait, they use those games to advertize the main game or maybe they develop indie games just for fun, but it's still about money, if they can develope games without an income it's because they have an income with lol.

    Sorry for my bad english, i don't know if it sound right.

    2)About the last part, there will be no next publisher, LG will self publish soulworker here. I agree with you on the last point, moneygrab to see the server die after 2-3 years is not an option.

    Here i'm not sure what to say.

    A lifetime boost is appealing, but maybe it's still too much?

    The problem is that we don't even know what they have in their mind, they said there will be boosts... but... what will we get exactly?


    Now to talk about suggestions or compensation, someone want to open a thread to discuss it? I think this is not the right thread and we can brainstorm ideas about what to do.

    IDK how this would be a post against us who don't want the data transfer.

    You just told me "you were correct in your assumption".

    I wrote a post were i said that it was because of money, but then what?

    I don't know how it work for you, but i wouldn't move a finger without getting a salary.

    In this world it's all about money, you will not find a game that is there totally free and no profit.

    Now, about soulworker, if LG don't make a profit and go bankrupt then where in the point in a new server? Where is the point in you getting your stuff back if you loose it all one or two years after with the game definitively closed?


    About your suggestions.

    The first is really... well... how i say it... you really didn't put much thinking in it.

    Give 5* akasha and tera brooches to all old players? And if it was a players that didn't play for a long time and he didn't have 5* akasha or tera brooches? He get it for free without an effort. Not so much fond of the idea.


    About your second suggestion.

    If you want to try something, NOW is the time to do it.

    I think that after the server is closed all the data will be deleted and then it will be too late. So waiting for after the release it's pointless.

    But think about what you need to do, if you try to take away players from the new server then it will only go against all of us.


    About the "greedy" part.

    I think you mistook a "we want money to survive" with a "we want money even if we are rich AF because we like money and want to take a bath in gold coins"

    It's like comparing a guy with an onest job who just want a salary with a banker.

    The post was very short, so why to cut the only part that is inconvenient for you?

    Why don't you talk with your friend and ask him to do a video with bankshare as the main topic?

    if i remember right, by smilegate (KR) and hangames (JP) and are online from 2016 (JP) and 2017 (KR) and until today they are online and in good shape.

    lmao 'online and in good shape'. you sound like the craigslist seller describing his dying car as 'runs and drives'. uhhh if you know their history both servers almost died at one point. kr/lg almost died a couple years ago n got lucky cuz of closers drama but also recently started running scams like the kent card and near impossible vs heroic farm causing lots of known players to trash their gear on stream. it was bad enough that lg fired some dude to try to calm the rage but there's no proof they intend to change. it's also literally common knowledge that jp is dead n may see a bump of players from the vs patch but it will be right back to obv dead in a few weeks. even after ephnel launched it was p dead so 'in good shape' is a joke and obvious you haven't played there recently (i have). in fact it's been a notorious zombie server and without even region lock for years now lmao. who knows why its still up prob just cuz lg doesn't wanna kill the 1st server. don't state things you don't know

    Yes, i know about it. KR players got angry (don't remember the reason) at lg and massively leaved the game (this is what we should have done a year ago, but no, you all wanted to play so to leave the game for a week was not an option). This don't change the fact that KR version is now in good shape and have a good amount of players.

    About JP version i know about the lack of players but that is all, do you know the reason why there is almost no players?

    All i know is that they have a much faster update rate than GFSW so at least client-side they are ok and i don't know about a huge fuss about that version. Maybe Japanese people just don't like this type of games? I don't know for sure, i can't read japanese.

    Yes, i know about the fired guy because LG gave a pubblic apology, they said that the guy got removed from his position and that they want to fix it.

    So when they make a mistake they want to fix it, i don't see the problem.

    Again, about JP version you just said that it is a dead server but there is a reason?

    About this we will have to wait the new server.

    If in the new server we will have updates then there is a high chance that it was GF's fault.

    If we still lack updates then there is a high chance that it was LG's fault.


    ATM we know just one thing. The KR version and JP version are not published by liongames, they are published, if i remember right, by smilegate (KR) and hangames (JP) and are online from 2016 (JP) and 2017 (KR) and until today they are online and in good shape.

    That's only steam players, and there's games like Kurtzpel with less players and it's steam-only and still up.


    The playerbase wasn't the sole problem, it was lack of updates, which is either Gameforge OR Liongames or both.

    It's not about the numbers per se, like you said there are games that have way less players and are still on. The fast loss of players of may 2019 and june 2019 gave me a hint but i was not 100% sure.

    After that we had a great increase in numbers at march and april caused by quarantine, someone said it was a good thing but for me it was not for a simple reason, if players have more free time to play soulworker then they become more aware of the problems of the game, to support my guess there are the following months where there was a massive loss of players. When the massive loss of players started hh was released, i logged in because i was not 100% sure of the outcome and farmed the gear, after that i leaved the game again and did a login one or two times a months to see how the playersbase was, like you said it was just steam users, so maybe it was just that, but the team search confirmed my guess and in october i lost all hope for this server and i was 99% sure that this server was going to close very soon.


    About why this happened, like you said what i wrote above is only the result of the mismanagement of gameforge, and at last from liongames.

    I think until november 2019 at liongames were doing their job for gameforge, but the release of chii heavily damaged the game.

    It's easy to guess why gameforge wanted to release chii ASAP (outfits for the character with big boobs in the wheel=huge amount of money) and what i will say from now on it's just a wild guess.

    After the release of chii we all know that the game was broken and it will just added at the work of liongames a heavy burden.

    After that, the not so great relationship of LG and GF caused from the mismanagement and demanding of the latest just got worse and worse, that caused the lack of updates, when at the end of 2020 LG had enough and choose to get rid of gf and involved us in their mess.

    So i think it's 80% GF's fault and 20% LG's fault.

    I have just one thing to blame at LG.

    They could have ended the contract in april 2020 and by now we would be playing in the new server and players would had not wasted a year of farming.

    Really? 1 2

    BTW good news! I talked to my content creator friend and he seems to like the idea. Suggested he'll do it in ES with EN subs. No timeline yet and I really don't want to put any pressure on him but he agrees we should have some videos to post on LG social media moving forward. Once we get the ball rolling should be able to get others to hop on board.

    Yes, me and my friends are ready.

    And maybe you could have done this to save this version of the game, but you did not

    You have no idea of my involvement outside of these forums (and any basic search of my post history within the forums will show how critical I've been of GF) so stop lying about this. Last time I'm going to correct you on this blatant lie.

    And what is your involvement outside the forum? Link of a video talking bad about this version? Something else? All you did was complain, and when they gave you 3 updates at one month from each other then you licket their boots fast and clean. Just to see the announcement about the shutdown some months after.

    Now that a company will give us updates, a good in game shop and listen to the community you want to destroy this. Good job.

    IF YOU GO TO CONTENT CREATORS AND TELL THEM TO LAUNCH SHIT ON LIONGAMES, THEN THE PLAYERS WILL LISTEN TO THEM, THEY WILL NOT PLAY AND THE GAME CAN'T HAVE A GOOD START WITH A LACK OF PLAYERS.

    Maybe LG should have factored this into their decision process before announcing no data transfer?

    And maybe you could have done this to save this version of the game, but you did not, now you want the role of the paladin, but you are just in rage mode because you will lose all of your stuff. And again, this is based on the assumption that liongames is at fault about the data transfer. If there is really something to keep them from doing it the game will just close like this just for the rage of few players. Good job.

    Yeah, sorry, i really hate stupid people, especially when they don't understand what someone write clearly.

    If this really go to content creators that listen to these guys then the new version will not have a great start.

    You still have totally failed to explain how ONLY brooch and akasha transfer would ruin the launch. Again, there will be whales who acquire almost all of these things within the first few days so it will have little impact overall on the new player experience or launch as a whole.


    Also thanks for admitting what you fear the most. Sounds like getting content creators involved may be the most effective way to proceed. :thumbup:

    Just tell me HOW.

    HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO STUPID.

    Why you can't understand your own language? I know my english is bad, but i think that part is easy to understand.

    I will say it again so even a braindead can understand.

    IF YOU GO TO CONTENT CREATORS AND TELL THEM TO LAUNCH SHIT ON LIONGAMES, THEN THE PLAYERS WILL LISTEN TO THEM, THEY WILL NOT PLAY AND THE GAME CAN'T HAVE A GOOD START WITH A LACK OF PLAYERS.

    They are just 3 ppl angry about what they lose, we can argue them why we think they wrong but in any cas i dont think us or them have the power to make change.


    If you take it seriously, and personaly ok but dont forget we are just player and is just a game and here is not the center of internet.


    Maybe they have right maybe not but in case of they dont want to speak with argument, dont try to understand other point of view and make emotional post because they lose prog. Is over notting will grow from here

    It's not about making emotional posts or not, i'm just concerned about this.

    Because they do thing based on the assumption that liongames is lying about the eu regulation, but there is no proof from both sides.

    If content creators launch shit on liongames and by chance it is true that they cant transfer data no matter what then the new version will lack a good amount of players, because youtubers have a huge influence on the players.

    As now what whatkeita and the others want it's not only the data transfer, what they want is all or nothing. If they can't have the data transfer then they will bring the new version down just for their rage.

    Yeah, thanks, sorry if i will not be here in these days, probably ban and recruiting people to keep an eye on youtube to do a mass report of every video from content creators that support your cause.

    Sadly it's useless to make valid arguments, they don't want to listen. If this really go to content creators that listen to these guys then the new version will not have a great start.

    These days youtubers have more power than politicians, and the mob will do what they say with the brain turned off.

    I'm perfectly calm, i just need to make his post to lose focus at least a bit. This is the only solution for now.
