- Notice to the mod Community - 8 November 2024
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 t…
