Alchemy Stars CN Server Incoming: Was the past removal of Chinese support just a prelude to this awkward return?

Following the release of game publishing licenses, the developers of Alchemy Stars have quickly mobilized for a Chinese server launch, sparking intense discussions within the community.

However, the community response is mixed. Many veteran players have brought up the past controversy where the game suddenly removed Chinese language support shortly after its international launch, mocking the current return as "desperate." Critics point out that the sudden urgency suggests the developers are facing revenue pressure from international servers and are desperately looking for a new market. They argue that "however stylish they were when cutting Chinese support, they are just as pathetic now."

Opinions on the game's quality are split. Some find the art style and gameplay mechanics refreshing, while others bluntly state that the "gameplay is the original sin"—insisting that the game lacks long-term appeal and that early operational blunders severely damaged the player base. Some community members have jokingly surrendered to the news, ready to welcome the "return of the king" with sarcastic resignation.
