Let me preface this: This is in no way a push to ruin anyone's experience but potentially a way to grow and bond as a community. I am writing this as a fellow player and member, not as a moderator. That said, I urge everyone to pause and think about how many of our members have not been able to access their game due to major problems such as Error 201: preventing them from earning moonstones through voting, submitting Dreamsnaps , progressing in the event, and doing many more things we love about the game. Maybe some of the members you have interacted with leading up to this launch, who you have been sharing excitement with, are now unable join in on that excitement. 5 days since launch and these friends still have no answers. Some of you have already confirmed you have been affected by this error, and personally I would love to validate the impact of this error on the games community - if you are willing, please share your experience with this update in the comments below.

The more I think about the future of this game, the more my mind focuses on the bugs and glitches that have plagued the overall game-play experience. We bought access to a beta test for an eventually free to play game, which is rare in this industry. I went into this knowing that there would likely be hiccups, but a year after the official launch, this game is still pretty far from being ready for the transition to its Free to play launch. Or is it? with the lack of communication and strange guessing games, I fear that Gameloft is no longer putting the players experience first. I assumed we would hear more info about the game-breaking Error 201 and maybe a possible fix, but other than the original warning on discord, there is not much information being shared. I was lucky enough to not be hit with this error before I saw the warning, but I still had enough lag issues to drain all the excitement I had about the new update. I have not touched my game since Thursday and with the continued silence from the dev team, my valley will be continuing to collect dust. I personally stand with those impacted by Error 201 and am vowing not to give Gameloft any data, time, or money from me until Error 201(and hopefully other serious issues) have been addressed and fixed. While I am not asking everyone to strike with me, I urge everyone to be mindful of the resources you are devoting to the game in it's current state.
