Creating My Own Main Storyline, Becoming the Only True Protagonist?
Toward the end of Version 1.1, influenced by the official update preview, some players sensed that the new version of the Silent Court might offer more benefits. They decisively abandoned their original factions and began migrating to the Silent Court.
There were an enormous number of these players, and their arrival caused the Silent Court's total player population to grow by a hundred or two every day.
But this was only the beginning.
After Version 1.2 launched, the popularity of the Bagalos challenge instance made the Silent Court even more appealing.
Many players who had been wavering finally couldn't sit still after seeing what had happened at the Silent Court on the first day of the new version.
Maybe they'd unlock a hidden class too once they reached the Silent Court?
Even if they didn't, learning those few skills that were practically god-tier would still make the game a lot more enjoyable.
Recently, players from the Silent Court had been posting videos on forums and video sites of themselves using Liuguang Yicai and Moonlit Concealment to beat up sandworms. Players from other factions were green with envy.
But what truly convinced most of the fence-sitters to go out of their way to join the Silent Court was what happened next.
After unlocking the Moonlight Dancer class, Patrick Star racked up thirteen consecutive victories in the arena. In no-rules competitive mode, he even defeated the arena's top player from another hit online game, reaching fourth place on the live rankings and putting himself within striking distance of first place and the title of the new "King."
This made Patrick Star one of the most talked-about players in Above the Stars, and a host of professional teams invited him to join them.
