Conquering OtherWorld Starts With a Game Chapter 17.1: Anti-Harassment Protocol

While 8 a.m. wasn't ideal for a server launch during the long holiday where most people tended to sleep in, "OtherWorld" had garnered high levels of interest from both helmet-owning gamers and helmet-less internet trolls due to the prevalence of live streams, mocking videos, and sarcastic essays regarding the game.

That was why, despite the announcement for the server opening at 7 a.m. on the same day, "OtherWord" was able to achieve over 90% of registered players coming online when the server opened at 8.

And then… before even half an hour passed, more than 50 of these over 280 players were disconnected.

So, what would these unfortunate players do during the half-hour "resurrection cooldown" in real time?

Naturally, they went to the official website's message board to engage in fierce wars of words with online trolls.

While it was frustrating for players to learn that they would have to wait a day to download the in-game screenshots they had taken, it didn't dampen their spirits much. They had finally played the game, experiencing being slain by highly intelligent NPCs generated by the game's artificial intelligence.

Thus, even without screenshots, these players confronted both the "willing to pay gamers" as well as the internet trolls that were smearing the game.

With a full 30-minute "resurrection cooldown" on their hands, they had some free time.

After venting their frustrations during the cooldown, they went back online to continue playing as the new batch of "deceased and forcibly kicked offline" players took their places.

However, despite the game's players battling in turns, the official site's message board, which allowed commenting without a login, was still overwhelmed.

The reasons for this were simple. Vanilla Pudding's viral video had attracted excessive attention, and the long National Day holiday meant that there were too many idle people that found it enjoyable to group up and launch attacks without any consequences or risks.
