In Brief
- The founder of Tempest Guild says he is considering stepping away from Legend of Ymir.
- He points to sudden server rule changes, reduced competitive rewards, and weak creator support.
- Ongoing disputes over revenue sharing will determine whether he exits the game entirely.
Storming, the founder of Tempest Guild and a server owner in Legend of Ymir, has publicly shared his concerns about the game’s direction, saying he is close to stepping away after losing interest far faster than expected. His comments reflect the perspective of a player who is not only active in the game but also financially and operationally invested through server ownership.
Server Auctions and Rule Changes
Storming says his main issue began with a lack of transparency around server auctions. According to him, servers were sold under specific terms, only for those rules to be changed roughly fifteen days later. He claims there was no clear communication or justification from the company, leaving server owners uncertain about how their investments would be treated going forward.
Server Giveaways to Creators
Another major frustration involves the distribution of servers to content creators shortly after paid auctions concluded. Storming claims these deals involved monthly payments in exchange for content creation and restrictions on public criticism. He also alleges that the company retained full discretion over what qualifies as criticism, which he believes places creators in an unfair position while devaluing servers purchased outright.
Competitive Play Loses Real Rewards
Storming also criticized recent changes to competitive incentives. He pointed out that the COPA Ymir tournament now pays rewards exclusively in in-game diamonds, with all real money prizes removed. In his view, this places Legend of Ymir behind most Web3 games that continue to reward competitive play with tangible value.
Questionable Strategic Decisions
He further highlighted what he sees as poor planning, referencing announcements that servers given to streamers will be shut down after failing to generate revenue. Storming argues that this outcome should have been anticipated before the servers were distributed, calling it another sign of weak long-term strategy.
Creator Program Breakdown
Storming said the creator content program, known as SSS, initially appeared promising but is now effectively broken. Instead of rewarding meaningful content, he claims players use it mainly as a cashback mechanism tied to in-game spending. He says there has been no visible effort from the company to fix or properly maintain the program.
Support and Communication Issues
Support has been another major point of concern. Storming claims that after producing extensive content for the game, his submissions were repeatedly rejected with vague explanations. He says there is no direct way to speak with the company, even as a server owner, founder of a gaming guild, and investor. According to him, this lack of communication could result in the loss of roughly five thousand dollars worth of in-game assets.
Revenue Sharing Still in Question
Storming also revealed that his server has generated more than $500,000 in revenue. He says he has formally requested that the original revenue-sharing terms be restored following recent contract changes. The outcome of those discussions, he noted, will heavily influence whether he remains involved in the game.
Stepping Back From Active Play
For now, the Tempest Guild founder says he plans to step back from active gameplay and stop investing time and energy into Legend of Ymir. Instead, he will monitor how the situation develops before deciding whether to leave the project altogether.
