Since its launch, I've been playing Tower of Fantasy and have yet to miss a day. Initially, I was drawn to the game's post-apocalyptic sci-fi fantasy themes and was enthralled with the idea of a casual open-world MMO that didn't contain a punishing gacha system.
On December 1st, the Tower of Fantasy server management team released a public statement to disclose that no changes were happening in global, implying that any rumors discussed by the Aida Pioneers (registered content creators) should be taken with a grain of salt. But of course, Tower of Fantasy Global has always followed the CN version regarding the structure of simulacrum releases and map expansions. So why wouldn't a "retroactive" server not be in the cards for global?
Even with Hotta sending out several messages centered around damage control to ease fears over these whispered reboot rumors, there's still plenty of skepticism concerning the game. Players often pay hundreds of dollars for cosmetics and simulacrums; any generated distrust will result in players spending less or not at all. I, for one, will never put a cent down on a game that may soon reboot, and the current news of a reset has only reinforced this stance.
When a game stops generating revenue, resulting in servers that are no longer worth maintaining, a game enters what's known as maintenance mode. Soon after, the publisher will inevitably announce an end-of-service date for the game. So even with a "promise" of having Tower of Fantasy run for a decade, the game doesn't gain immunity to maintenance mode, which will happen if players stop supporting the game.
The truth is Tower of Fantasy is a middling gacha that has failed to press harder on its MMO roots; the game is strictly driven by power creep with repetitive end-game systems. In its current state, Tower of Fantasy has little to offer, and with the existing systems in place, it is nowhere near new-player friendly. People have argued that a reboot could help Tower of Fantasy refocus as an MMO, but an MMO doesn't thrive unless a community trusts the developers. Unfortunately, not every failed MMO title will have a miracle worker on the staff like Final Fantasy found in Yoshi-P (Naoki Yoshida).
So if Tower of Fantasy actually goes through with this reboot or reset, it will only split the player base and enforce distrust amongst the developers. Hotta fails to recognize that the problem was never about repetitious end-game systems; it was always due to the technical difficulties that never got corrected, coupled with the awful writing that killed the game's immersion. The way to push forward is to fix the terrible coding that is breaking the game and possibly consider hiring new writers. A reboot will only ensure a death sentence.
