Hello everyone, I am a very ordinary Latale gamer from China, although it was sudden, but I had to end my Latale journey. 

"今天你邋遢了吗?" This is our daily greeting to our friends who play Latale in China, because the English of Latale corresponds to the pinyin of our three words: "邋遢了", so we affectionately call Latale "邋遢了", "今天" represents today, and "你" represents you in the second person."今天你邋遢了吗?" It means to ask if you have logged in to Latale today. It's like when we meet a friend and say good morning, good afternoon, good evening.

I came into contact with Latale in 2020, when the global pandemic was at its worst, when I had just graduated from university, because of the economic downturn caused by the epidemic, and all kinds of chaotic economic problems in China also broke out at this time, I was unemployed just after graduation, forced to stay at home and quarantine, because of the stress of life and other things, I experienced a darker time, at that time I was suffering from insomnia and anxiety. My family didn't believe I was in bad spirits, they thought I was unemployed because I wasn't working hard enough or was lazy, and they didn't finally take me to the hospital for a check-up until much later. Eventually, I was diagnosed with moderate depression in the hospital. 

During those dark times, a good friend of mine introduced me to Latale, which was funny to say, because I wasn't very interested in playing Latale at first because of my depression. But he always mentioned Latale from time to time in his small talk with me, and often shared with me his movements and images in Latale, which slowly piqued my interest. 

There are many Korean friends who do not understand why so many Chinese do not use the Latale of the Chinese server and run to use the Latale of the Korean server. This has something to do with the operating environment in China, where the commercialization of chinese online games is very successful, and it is supposed to provide top-notch operation and quality, but in fact their success is purely due to the large market in China. China has a population of 1.3 billion, and if everyone is willing to give one yuan, it will be 1.3 billion yuan (260 billion won at the current exchange rate). Therefore, the pursuit of China's online game operation is not quality, but the breadth of dissemination, as long as there are people playing, it can have good economic benefits. Therefore, most of China's online games are updated very quickly, with an average operation time of about three years, and they never pay attention to the quality of game services, they only pursue how to make money from players' pockets, and the poor quality of the game causes players to be dissatisfied, so they close the server and then come up with another online game to continue to operate. This is also the reason why many Chinese players are reluctant to continue playing Chinese online games. 

Latale is a very well-done online game, it has a cute cartoon style, side-scrolling combat form, I believe that every "邋遢了" gamer has a Alice in their hearts, Alice has been with me for so long, and also carries my four years of good memories, in these four years, I learned by watching guides and videos, as well as communicating with friends, and even learned to read some Korean to a certain extent (although I don't fully understand, but I know what it means when it is placed in the game), I've also become a decent Latale gamer. Latale is a light in my heart that illuminates my darkest times and accompanies me through them...... As I wrote these words, I choked up at one point...... After settling my mind, I picked up my pen again...... Latale isn't necessarily the best online game, but it's definitely the best game in my opinion. 

There is an old saying in China: there is no banquet in the world that is not dispersed. It means that "reunion is relative, and there will be separation in the end." The day before yesterday, because of the influence of cheaters from China modifying Latale's data. A lot of stowaways like me trigger verification protections that require a Korean mobile number to verify (forgive me for using the derogatory term "stowaway", but I think it does describe our situation very well). To be honest, I can understand the plight of the operators, because foreign players are not in Korea, and it is difficult to hold them accountable even if they cheat or take advantage of bugs, and if these criminals are not severely punished, they will only become more rampant.  

Although I didn't trigger the verification protection, the announcement in the official statement that the verification protection will be triggered from time to time still made my heart fall to the bottom, which is like a sword hanging over my head, I haven't triggered the verification today, but if I trigger the verification one day, it will be the end of me (I have learned about the policy of Korean mobile phone numbers, which is something I can't do in the short term). 

On the one hand, I am indeed a very ordinary player, I abide by the rules of the game, the rules of operation, and I play Latale just for fun; On the other hand, my identity in Latale is a stowaway in itself, and even if I play with trepidation, it is normal for me to be sanctioned one day. Every time I think about it, I get angry at the cheaters who ruin other people's lives for their own selfish desires, and at the wrongdoers who ruin other people's gaming experiences for profit. But I can't help it, because I'm just an ordinary person, I just want to live an ordinary life, and be happy "邋遢了" with my friends every night, but there is no way, although I am very reluctant, I can only end my Latale journey in a hurry, I don't want my last memory in Latale to be pain and anxiety. That's why I have to make that decision. 

Thank you for reading this, because my English is not very good, most of the above content is machine translated, if it affects your reading, I am here to say sorry.

I may be leaving, but because of my love for Latale, I might go to Latale in Taiwan or Latale in Japan.For the reasons mentioned above, I won't go back to playing Latale on the Chinese server anyway.

In closing, I just want to say, goodbye, Alice, goodbye, all the friends I met at Latale in the Korean server, thank you for four years of companionship. 

Finally and finally, thank you for seeing the last, my unknown friend, may you have a good day.
