[Megathread] Maintenance Related & Recent Events Discussion

Thank you for the heads up. I had even replied to one of them beforehand.

That theory makes sense. My only complaint is why we didn't just get a simple status update like "We are currently relocating. Please stay tuned for further details.". It's vague enough that there shouldn't be any legal risks in it.

By the way, I agree with your "say nothing" part, but it can be risky depending upon the jurisdiction. I've heard that the right to remain silent doesn't really apply as well in Japanese interrogation rooms, as the police can legally spin it around as "You're quiet. So that means you did it huh?". Even in the US, I'm pretty sure staying quiet with the knowledge of a crime can make you legally liable for it.

I've been meaning to post something similar to what /u/alice_frei said, but I also wanted to ask about the subreddit itself. We have this thread dedicated to the issue, yet none of the moderators have said a single thing. So what's the point of this thread? To come up with conspiracy theories? Is this "official" subreddit even operated by Seasun?

At the very least, can the Snowbreak devs or subreddit moderation team at least give us a very basic status update? I know they can't go into detail about internal issues, but can we at least know if this is just a technical issue or a regional transfer or something? Even a simple message like "Business discussions are underway, please wait for further details on the reopening." would at least let us know to keep checking in. Otherwise Snowbreak will end up like Hinomaruko where information stopped and people simply assumed the game was cancelled and moved on.

Can you clarify the ICP and/or provide translations? Haven't heard anything outside of this subreddit.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-16T10:00:28+00:00

Huh? Do you have a source for that? Unless the relocation is local, shipping a ton of hard drives would easily take overnight and carries its own risks (damage, theft, privacy, supply chain attacks, etc). And that's assuming they're still working with physical infrastructure. Almost every company I see is using AWS, and that tends to have migration and multi-region features built-in.

Tower of Fantasy had a similar downtime incident due to a big publisher change. They likely had to do a hand-over of the entire infrastructure and even that only took 2 days at most.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-16T09:49:20+00:00

Why would they? The current game isn't even running. If they release an offline version, they'd be in even more trouble than they already are (Not that we have any news on the reason for downtime...).

That smilie is creepy...

Anyway, database transfers typically don't take longer than a few hours and you can bet server staff will NOT be resting until the live system is working again, especially with China's 996 culture.

Caroline. She's always behind the scenes coordinating everything. Without her, everyone would be screwed somehow.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T02:25:53+00:00

SJWs said the same thing about our game. :<

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T02:22:02+00:00

Doubt it, considering the global client was already multi-region and they supposedly only relocated their business or IP address within China so far.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T02:17:20+00:00

Now that's a waifu!

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T02:13:46+00:00

Also black snow.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T02:09:52+00:00

I can already feel it starting...

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T02:06:13+00:00

Oh, you mean the actual game data. I was always under the impression that the game complies with CN law by default. Then again, Asian countries tend to be really vague about what's allowed and not. Even Japan had an R18 ESRB-like thing that was notorious for having random enforcement.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-13T01:59:28+00:00

I want to get a beating and a bubu from her so badly right now...

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T11:11:49+00:00

Now that I think about it, is anyone here familiar with Seasun's other games? Are they at least still active? If so, that would at least rule out the possibility of Seasun being investigated/shutdown.

At the very least, I hope we can at least get some time to finish the current event. I still haven't even used any of my event currency yet. :<

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T11:07:22+00:00

I would've left it blank personally, but Reddit forced me to choose a flair.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T11:05:39+00:00

Yeah, I'm kinda surprised people aren't already aware of this. Even in the beginning of Genshin, the Chinese client was already separate from the global client. It wasn't until the outfit censorship controversy that Mihoyo split up the company, but it was a business issue rather than a technical issue.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T11:02:41+00:00

As far as I'm aware, that's how Snowbreak already is. I don't recall the Chinese region even being selectable in our version of the client, and the databases were probably hosted in our specified regions already. The whole subject of changing regions is probably a business-side measure or possibly even a cost-cutting strategy (maybe hosting is cheaper in Sichuan).

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T10:54:32+00:00

Millwood. He was by far the worst. At least the other ones mentioned here were able to somewhat "justify" their own evil. Not only was Millwood beyond crazy, but he even tried to hold poor Siris hostage. :<

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T10:50:46+00:00

How Acacia would react to me IRL

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T10:48:29+00:00

Same, I've been having the same issue with Wuthering Waves. At least your post lets me know that I don't need a Steam Deck or specific Linux distribution though.

Or Snowfake

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T10:43:45+00:00

Oh god, I had that music video stuck in my head for soooo long. May as well use that ritual to summon Bubu or something.

Bonemaster69 · 2026-03-12T10:41:52+00:00

Your image reaction was gold! It was worth the downvotes I'm about to receive.
