Hello everyone, this is Lee Hyung Joo, producer of Chrono Ark.
Recently, some incidents occurred in the Chinese modding community that may have caused discomfort among members, and I want to take this opportunity to explain the situation and express my apologies.
During a recent disagreement with a major contributor in the Chinese mod community, a programmer from Alfine acted independently, displaying inappropriate behavior and issuing a 24-hour ban to two mod creators without prior discussion. This led some mod creators to voluntarily remove their mods, causing disappointment and discomfort within the mod community. I deeply apologize for the distress this has caused.
As the producer of Chrono Ark, I take full responsibility for this incident, and I am committed to doing everything possible to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. We have decided to impose a ban on the programmer within the community, and internally we are strengthening our guidelines for communication with players.
Additionally, we pledge to ensure that future updates to Chrono Ark consider compatibility with existing mods to avoid conflicts. We hope this will allow mod creators to continue their work with confidence.
Thank you once again for your understanding and support.
