Tree of Savior Forum

What is accepted as a Fansite, and what is not (Important to know.)

Fansites
#1

Facebook groups, Steam groups, and also anything created on a “Free website builder (Google it to know what I mean.”. Dont count as an actual Fansite, and they should be otherwise advertised in the Community forum.

For everyone trying to make a fansite, you should understand what actually counts as one and what doesn’t.

Facebook groups, Steam groups, and whatever else that count as something similar, do not count as a fansite.
If you are using a some kind of online thing where you can create a free website such as something similar to Weebly, that does not count as a fansite (Although if you’re paying for hosting something on Weebly yourself and also to unlock all features, it’ll count as long as people are able to register their own accounts on it and you have a unique domain.).

All in all, a real Fansite is something that you are paying yourself to host the website or a group of people are. People are able to register their own accounts on the site to have access to the forums. Your fansite should also have things that pertain to Tree of Savior, such as a Skill/Class/Build Simulator. Or either some form of a wiki for your registered members to find information on the game.

Be sure your fansite has a substantial amount of registered members actually using it, for it to be official. A good way to start having members is to actually make your fansite have some kind of use for everyone who wants to register. They aren’t going to register for no reason. Some people like to register on a fansite so they will have access to the many utilities one can give. Such as something like a forum to discuss things about the game, simulators that people can test and play around with, a wiki that registered members can contribute to. Don’t forget you also have to be up to date and keep watch on all kinds of Tree of Savior news, so that you can inform your registered members of these things.

If you’re simply creating a fansite just for the Beta Keys, you’re going at it in the wrong direction and reason.

In case people want an example on what a fansite should or somewhat look like:

So that’s why people are desperately posting their “fansites” now… they should stop dying by anticipation.

The sudden huge amount of fansites started to appear after this announcement was made:

  1. Can I ask for more keys after the registration period? I want to enjoy TOS with more people.

We are sorry, but no. After the registration period is over, we are not going to accept any more requests for the keys. However, if you are a fan site manager, we may consider providing you with more keys. Please make sure your site information is updated at the following address of our website.

https://forum.treeofsavior.com/c/fansites

Here is the required information to be confirmed.

  • Name of the community site
  • Website URL
  • Number of registered members (size of community)
  • Country (Language)
  • Description of the site (Optional)

We will consider providing you with more keys after thorough review of the site information.

So now a lot of people who missed the the beta key registration are trying to find other ways to get them.

They shouldn’t have even made that condition,to be honest.I’ve seen people posting their Twitch accounts even thinking it may count.It’s ridiculous.

I’m surprised they haven’t all organized and signed up for each others BS sites to try and get keys.Probably too busy spamming the forum for that.

Even their Twitch stream? They must be getting pretty desperate. If they were this obsessed with the game they would’ve always have had been up to date with the TOS news and known when the beta key registration first started and when it will end.

I’m getting a good laugh out of it xD.

Hackers paradise.

“HEy sign up here. I will give out keys!”

Swarm of innocent interweb noobs converge onto that site…

Yeah, the WORST part is that when they DO get the Keys, they actually keep it for themselves and their friends instead. (Only the worst people are doing this though. There are actually a good amount of good TOS fansites, and some of them aren’t even advertising on this forum too.)

Or Selling them ^^.

Heck, people would be lucky to get a real one at least…

Still laughing at them.
Someone stupid enough to buy a key from an untrustworthy soul … shall be glad if 20 or so bucks is everything thats gone by then xD.

Well, to be fair, those of us interested in the game may have not heard about it in time for the registration period. You can’t be up to date on TOS news if you don’t know TOS exists. I know I only found out about it today, two days too late to register for CB2, because I was being nostalgic about Ragnarok Online and saw a Youtube comment on the OST “I Miss you” and someone mentioned this game.

#10

I feel awkward every time when I saw stuff you mention that doesn’t count show up in fan site.

When talk about fan site. I thought of a website that have fully information of game. Where people put effort to gathering and share it. Something like group would do the same in some part but they’re not really ‘web site’.

There isn’t truly enough information of the game to actually have a true fansite, but if the fansite is setting up layouts and organizing itself to be ready then it’ll be used once the full game is released.

Right now Tree of Savior just needs legit fansites in different languages. So that there will be ease of access for different languages. Or even better, a multilingual fansite with multiple people working on translations for different languages.

#12

I might not say it clearly. It doesn’t need to be whole information of everything in game. But at least it should be fully relate to TOS mainly or alone for whole site. Not as sub group in some other site or something.

Because right now there are many people bring up site which isn’t directly related to TOS except that they’re interest and want key to try game as in a person or group.

Since GM said
However, if you are a fan site manager, we may consider providing you with more keys. Please make sure your site information is updated at the following address of our website.

It’s awkward to see those site put up as fansite. Some isn’t even a website but they’re a person or streamer. :disappointed_relieved:

#13

I think all of my fansite examples in the main post count as real fansites.

#14

Yes it did. What I mean awkward is those “Facebook groups, Steam groups, and whatever else that count as something similar, do not count as a fan site” that you mention. Awkward as when I saw they posting as a fan site because it shouldn’t count as fan site if look into it. Sorry if I make you misunderstanding.

#15

Like this?

#16

I don’t know. That one have website but I can’t read their language. XD

Maybe something like a thread that post just a facebook group or facebook page alone. (cough… I didn’t know facebook ‘like’ can now count as size of community)
Or someone who post his/her personal facebook.
Or streamer who include follower as size of community.
Or website/forum that isn’t related to TOS which have group of ppl who interest in TOS in their community.

Well, some forum may possible to count it as community but I don’t think something like youtube channel, streamer or facebook can count as fan site. When seeing they posting it make me feel awkward because they’re trying so hard to fit those site in as fan site.

In my first reply “When talk about fan site. I thought of a website that have fully information of game.” is what I think of a site that are on your example list while comparing to a website that shouldn’t count as fan site. (ex. They’re not real website = youtube channel or facebook page and not relate or not have any information about TOS, etc.)

Basically the list of site you mention in example are all fine and they’re all good fansite. Hopefully this post clear up what I say about because I’m not good at explaining stuff. :scream:

#17

I get it now I think

#18

Pretty old fashioned, no? Tons of developers and publishers give streamers and youtubers keys and such to give out to their audience nowadays, since those reach the most people. Most people use reddit, Steam or other aggregates instead of game-focused websites (with the exception being stuff like databases that provide tools for use). This section’s FAQ also says that communities should be posted here, not just fansites.

So yeah, have to say I disagree. Although I do agree that groups made just yesterday in attempt to get keys are not the way to go about this.

#19

It’s not about section, The reason they post now is because of key.

As IMC mention…
“However, if you are a fan site manager, we may consider providing you with more keys.”
so it’s depend on what IMC meant as fan site I guess. If look in dictionary fan site mean “A website dedicated to a particular person or subject and run by a fan or fans of the person or subject”.

I understand some streamers or youtubers have their way to give out keys and they might help publish to let everyone know about TOS with their stream. Honestly I don’t mind them at all but sometime I wonder is it able to cover in as a fan site or not for key? In the end I have no right to judge who is allow to get key as fansite though, Everything will up to IMC.

Sad to read a list of TOS fansite without the one i work for ! http://www.tree-of-savior.fr/
It’s just this “little fansite” who made the cosmetic simulator (and alot of other things, some of them not released yet) :frowning:
