[tablescraps]

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.

mithrun1: Thank you for the edit. LMAO.

I'm summarizing it here in text for posterity:

-prior to the conference, we are asked to sign a form saying we'll behave during the conference.
-we are whisked into a white room waiting for the conference to start.
-we got fucking nothing. literally nothing. no one came.
-hours (I think) pass, we're finally free from the white room!
-except not really because we can't log out and live here now.

Did I miss anything? I saw people talking with Hien, who I assume is stuck here too.

Thanks for this, Furin.

Just adding something: Swallow confirmed that Hien said if we die in this game, we'll die in real life.

[glassbell]

I'm assuming that means we become permanent vegetables in real life?

[curvaceous]

Probably tbh.

That's my guess, anyway, given the comas that happened earlier

[glassbell]

At least we have bodies to come back to. Hopefully.

[curvaceous]

Hopefully. I don't even wanna think about where mines at right now to be honest lol

But hang in there Furin. Don't lose yourself to this shitty game

[glassbell]

I'll do my best. I think there are worse games to be trapped in.

[curvaceous]

You think so? Well, I guess horror games would be pretty terrible.

Though I feel like this one's starting to turn into one...lol

I am not sure if Hien-kun is stuck here like the rest of us, but he will stay with us. (´◡`)

[trollophoroi]

Why don't we kill him and find out??? (: (: (:

[glassbell]

I should have just let you kill me before it got like this, honestly.

[trollophoroi]

I meant Hien, Furin, not you, but yes. It would seem we've missed our chance for a fight.

[glassbell]

I know. But now you can't act on whatever weird murder urges take you.

Thank you, though. I guess this is a truce because in my dreams I do get my revenge once every few times you get me.

[tinged]

My dearest Master, I believe with all my heart that you are capable of anything... eventually!

But at the moment, we are not capable of that.

And I don't want to.

[trollophoroi]

If my dear student will forgive my frustration with our precious administrator, but it is very difficult to be happy with him right now.

[ He's right, though. Eventually, he'll be level 100. What'll happen then? Hmm. ]

[glassbell]

That's... nice of him? I'm not sure why though...

[tinged]

The short answer is he has no choice.

But I believe he would have chosen to stay with us anyway.

[glassbell]

Like CC Corp is forcing him to?

ブラック企業?

- Can't feel our real bodies anymore.

Kind of noticeable for me. Not sure if it is for others. But it definitely didn't start until the fake meeting.

[glassbell]

Oh. Right. Sorry.

Can I ask if your accident in real life had anything to do with the weird side effects of this game?

[gluttoning]

No proof of it, but I can't help but wonder. I guess I can explain it here so people don't have to go searching.

Last Wednesday I went to a dungeon that had really aggressive enemies. Hani already confirmed that dungeon was fine when other people went to explore it later. But one of the enemies hit my leg really bad, like it was being cut in half. At the time, it definitely felt like it.

I went to a clinic outside the game the same day to get X-rays, but my leg was fine. I play football, so I have to get cleared for any games, and our physical therapist said I looked fine.

Saturday I went to a game, and my leg broke while I was walking off field. I don't remember most of it. My doctors said my femur broke in four places. Had to have two surgeries. Was in the hospital for almost a week.

Hospital had no idea how it happened. Neither did my coaches. A few people in Fragment were watching the game, if I've missed anything.

[glassbell]

That's horrifying, but I appreciate you for explaining. It can't be a coincidence at this point.

Right, that reminds me. I ran an easier dungeon last night (stress relief, I almost forgot about reset), and you can't toggle off the pain-sensing like before. That isn't surprising, I guess.

[gluttoning]

Just checked mine. I can't turn them off anymore, either.

We're gonna have to be more careful in dungeons. Maybe going with someone else tagging along is a better idea for now.

[glassbell]

Yeah, I wouldn't risk it. I guess time might be better spent working on professions and uh, surviving?

[gluttoning]

Maybe. But some jobs you have to go into dungeons for materials. Food and potions, at least.

I don't know if we can avoid it.
