Yesterday afternoon, a fire broke out in an office building in southern Seoul, which serves as a data center for South Korean tech giants Kakao and Naver. The incident caused widespread disruption to numerous domestic services, and Guardian Tales—which relies on these servers—was forced to go offline. While the fire was reported to be small, players were left waiting as service was interrupted.
The community was quick to point out how 'misfortune follows disaster' for this game. It wasn't long ago that the developers experienced a major flood at their office, leading to production delays. Fans are calling it a case of the 'house leaking while it's raining' (a Chinese idiom for compounding misfortune).
In the comment section, users noted that Kakao and Naver—often compared to China's tech giants Tencent and Baidu—having their data centers in the same building was a huge risk. One user quipped, 'Maybe they planned it so that if they fall, they fall together—no one gets to pull ahead.'
