There's a digital conference on September 23rd. We'll be able to ask CC Corp questions about the game and its anomalies.

How clearly they'll answer, I don't know. But it may be worthwhile to pool together everyone's observations, speculations, and complaints here. Different people have seen different things in Fragment, and not a lot of that information is consolidated.

If you've commented on the forums with your observations before, or seen a worthwhile comment, then you can re-link it.

For example, on the topic of the level cap armor:
• UTA's post (in-game NPCs' warning against using it)
• Zelkova's response (indicating the armor was not an intended feature, nor are titles)
• UTA's comment (in-game NPCs claiming only two individuals can "create things")

If you want to talk about something offline for whatever reason, DM me. I don't really mind sharing my number or email.

Edit:

Comments

Oriade and I received ΘHidden Forbidden Virgin Peaks from an anonymous user. There was also the anonymous user who commented to Akatsuki's post prompting players to utilize the "Freedom" keyword.

As you noted, some of the unusual Area keywords are part of the normal Area keyword list. I believe these Areas are intended parts of the game, and are part of the lore. It's the effects that occur within them that are allegedly unintended.

However, certain keywords are not part of the general keyword list - that I've found. ie, "Recursive Fool's Errand," "Dragonbein," "Bulwark," "Hideous Someone's Giant," "Virgin Peaks," etc. Even so, some of these keywords may still lead to intended Areas - Hideous Someone's Giant, Hidden Forbidden Virgin Peaks - connected to the game's in-universe lore, despite their keywords being unusual. Recreational Areas also have keywords not on the usual keyword listing, but lead to valid Areas. These Areas keywords appear to be distributed by Zelkova, as well.

"Freedom" was harmless, if annoying. But it's possible that user and the one who sent the keywords to areas with more dangerous effects are the same. Either the first post was to give us a false sense of security in trying the suggestions, or they're genuinely unaware of what effects they could have on others.

Not that speculation is much use until we have more concrete information.
