I have seen a lot of top 10 free to play MMORPG video came from many youtubers and you know what? Not a single video that include ToS in it.
Youtubers generally only take paid promotions if it’s a game they feel good about promoting, no one wants to take money to say a game is good when they know it isn’t because it ruins their credibility.

Give $100 to a 5k sub Youtuber and they will gladly take it. But even some big time Youtubers like Kizuna Ai accept all kinds of paid promos like Square Enix games, random Japanese games/apps and even Bluray sets for an anime series. But IMC is just too damn lazy to do this.
My point is IMC thinks giving free stuff will attract new players and keep hardcore people to play the game but it doesn’t. Now that blessed shards are devalued why the hell do we have to do Saalus everyday when players already have Stage 10 transcend weapons? Now that people got the items that they wanted they can take a vacation from TOS and play other games. So in the next few weeks there will be fewer people running Saalus and that newbie 240 character won’t get a random matching in queue because most Saalus runners are 330 characters.

Would expect nothing less from IMC.
Kizuna AI? She/He or IT know nothing about MMORPG, just some cringy weeb ■■■■ on youtube. How about The lazy peon, mmo.com
You don’t watch a lot of Youtube don’t you? Lazy Peon and MMOcom already reviewed ToS. So why am I advocating Kizuna Ai? Because her fanbase are weebs. ToS is an anime game. Yep even though it is made by Koreans they still use anime style in their artworks. She also has incredible subscriber growth and already has 1M subs in total (main channel + AI games) in less than a year. Only an idiot will still not recognize the advertising potential there. If Square Enix (AAA game developer) gave her paid promos why can’t Nexon Japan?
Because they know the game isn’t ready for a bigger audience and promoting TOS will only spread its bad reputation around
When TOS started everyone was excited. There were dozens of websites and Youtubers reviewing the game that is why TOS reached 50k. Paying Kizuna Ai or another well known Youtuber to advertise the game will NOT crash the servers. Advertisement is part of every competent company. They call it Customer Acquisition Cost. Not paying for ads is basically asking your brand to be forgotten to oblivion.
I already gave IMC my money when I purchased several TP bundles and the reset pack. Do they really think they can milk hardcore players if we already have high level items? If they release new content we can just casually farm the next high level items without buying TP. That is not how you make money in a F2P game. You constantly need to have new players playing the game and purchasing shop items. This is how Dota 2 and League of Legends make their billions.
When TOS started nobody knew beforehand that IMC management is trash, game code is full of holes like swiss cheese

Yes i do know that ToS have been feature in one of his video, and i know that he don;t like it at all. But since he made one SELLOUT video about lineage 2 revolution with positive review, i hope that if he got paid by IMC there might be a second look video

Wait so if you did the candy event dungeon you get the candy??? Or did you have to do the level 100 dungeon to qualify??! Cause lol I did was the candy event and got 3 exp books!!!
What people screams for have mostly been TBL and r9, meanwhile what really needs to be focused is bug fixes and polishing the content to attract new players, but all new players gets is the “new account event” which leaves alot of new players clueless instead.
Sure,getting to lvl 330 as a new player will be long and tedious, unless you ask friends/read guides/watch videos, a new player shouldnt need to study before playing a game.
And once the new player actaully get that early lvl 330, we would need away to make them want to stay.
Before doing promotions/advertisements, i think its better that imc fixes their bugs, and wash off the bad reviews they have earned.(whats the point in earning players if you cant keep them)
Your toon shouls have participated atleast once in the candy event to keep the 2k candies as compensation.
The 3 exp tomes you got was from the emergency maintenance
Even Ragnarok Online Mobile paid Kizuna Ai to do promos but IMC would rather let this game die. Don’t expect IMC to fix bugs because they don’t have decent programming skills. The recent Blessed Shard fiasco is proof. There are dozens of MMOs that have gamebreaking bugs but was still able to continue. Perfect example is Ragnarok Online which has dozens of bugs and exploits but even if the game was buggy it survived for more than a decade. The point is you can’t pay good programmers if your game doesn’t have new whales paying you!!! The only way to get new players is to advertise. Word of mouth means nothing unless it comes from a person with millions of followers. Unless IMC is willing to sell equity in exchange for more money to Nexon. Good lord why am I even arguing here when most people in this forum don’t even understand what Equity is.
Once again, whats the point in getting new players if you cant keep them.
And its not always the best thing to listen to one invdividuals review.
Just because >Dean makes a bad review about cuphead doesnt make it a bad game.
Do research in more than one place
What will you find out about tos if you do some research
Nice music
Nice art
Cute
Simple gameplay which is a bad and a good thing (Very arguable)
Bugs
More Bugs
Horrible gacha system.
Consistent ammount of exploits.
Lets say this big “ai” person made commercial for tos.
How many do you think would start playing tos?
How long do you think it would take for those players to quit the game?
How many of these palyers would stick to this game for a very long time? (A year or longer)
Reviving iToS from current situation is nearly impossible in my opinion. Closing for few months and remaking it into ToS 2 may help but I doubt IMC will do. Even when it is very sad to see iToS dying day by day, there is nothing we can do now. Our words, of course, have no effect.

Leaving aside all the bugs, connection issues, terrible balancing, boring/bad events and mismanagement the game is not appealing to newcomers.
- The Game offers no Challenge - nerfed Monsters & terrible AI (misleading term cause not really intelligent) - boring Bosses
- The sheer amount of boring Quests: the first 100 level cover 2/5 of all Quests a level area you can grind over in a few hours! I don’t even want to mention the Quest quality.
- The terrible linearity of everything - you Progress from Map A to B to C - nothing to explore you simply follow the Quest routes
- The “Item progression” - every 50 level you can equip new stuff however you can always go straight for the “top gear” till you unlock the next tier. Not to mention how limited the Endgame choices are (see bracelet/necklace - everything “good” there requires enormous amounts of grinding)
- The non-existing Endgame - “Grind Gear and then?” nothing… Collections? Again Grinding. Gimmick Events? Not rewarding! Fishing? Requires no interaction.
Not to mention how much information you need to gather to not ■■■■ up entirely - the problem here is that if you “google” cause you have no idea where else to look most of the stuff you’ll find will be outdated or incomplete.
