Welcome to the Rise of Heroes Community!

Hey! Gacha (or hero collecting) game enthusiasts everywhere, welcome, all of you! Fans of other types of games, I also welcome you! And, of course, friends who just stumbled in by accident, I welcome you none the less!

About This Community

First a Statement

This community was created by a fan (that’s me) who likes this game, and the devs will provide support now and in the future.

But the dev employees won't be the community’s Moderators.

In order to maintain the neutrality and independence of this community, our Moderator team will be composed entirely of gamers.

Now for My Story

I am a player who likes gacha games. One day in 2018, I rummaged through the list of RPG games on Google Play and found this game named Rise of Heroes.

I think at first what caught my eye was its art design. I do like a little exotic and oriental mythology mixed with a pinch of steam punk and futuristic elements.

And what made me stay, well, although the game was not perfect at first, I did notice that after every update (at least twice a month), the game got a little better. The dev team is constantly working to adding new contents, making improvements and squashing bugs.

Why Create This Community?

Until recently, most of the players in this game were not from the English-speaking world, and I could not understand what they were saying. This can make you feel lonely very fast.

And it seems that reddit has not caught on in countries where these players live, so I haven't been able to find a proper community where I can chat with my co-players.

But now, the situation is changed. I learned from customer service that they're finally going global. That means, ha ha, I can start building reddit communities! Because except for the areas mentioned above, it seems that all gamers around the world are using reddit!

I've decided to build this community before they start marketing the game globally, so that all new players find this community right away, and I'll finally not be lonely anymore!

Remarks on the Redesign

If you want to experience everything this community has to offer you, please use Redesign to enter the community before you have Moderator who understand CSS and reddit stylesheet. Don't use old reddit for now.

My Plans for This Community

Wiki

I will gradually start putting together FAQs, Guides, etc., and putting them in the community wiki.

Everyone is welcome to share their game knowledge by posting. If the post is with good quality, I or other Mods will add its content to the wiki.

Community Rules

I will try to make a more detailed set of community rules so that our community can keep healthy. I did and will refer to other communities dedicated to games of the same genre. So, if you find some rules that look very much like the ones of another community, this is the reason, since I am still trying as a novice Moderator.

Also, there may be some changes to the rules at first, and I ask for your forgiveness and patience in advance. As more and more adventurers join, the community will evolve.

Recruit Moderators

I hope that more reddit veterans can join the Mod team and help me maintain the community together because:

  1. My own time is limited.
  2. My time with reddit is very short, especially for old reddit. I don't understand CSS at all, so I don’t know how to style the old reddit page.

If you’re willing to help, please send us Modmails.

Please read this post for requirement details.

Support We Can Expect from the Devs

I contacted the dev team and told them I've set up a subreddit of the game and would want their support. And apparently, they are very thrilled by this idea. So, we discussed what kind of support they can offer, and I’ll list them below.

  • Community Building Resources

The banner, icon and background images you can see now (turn on Redesign if you can’t), are all provided by the devs.

They’ll support us with more pics for use as emojis, and I’ll add more user flairs with them. You’re gonna like it.

  • News and Announcements

The devs will regularly send schedules of Events and Updates to the Mods. And they’ll be synchronized in their respective Sidebar Widgets.

If the information is important, we’ll post specific threads to give you more details.

  • Community Events

The devs are willing to offer in-game items as rewards to support us in hosting community events.

These events may come in the form of sharing fan arts, participating in surveys or posting on gameplay, guides and tutorials, etc.

Real life rewards were mentioned in our conversation and they could be possible, I think.

  • The Dev Replied Flair

The dev team wishes to maintain a healthy conversation between them and the community. Their community managers will frequently and regularly participate in community discussions and view as many posts and comments as they humanly can.

They will reply to posts and comments they deem valuable, in order to share their thoughts with their players. You can easily tell which post the devs have replied to by these indicators:

Post Flair: Every post the dev employees have replied, will have the flair “// Wingjoy Replied”. In the post, all dev replies will be gathered into a Stickied comment.
Dev’s User Flairs: They will have the word “Wingjoy” in them. No other users can edit their flairs or have this word in them. For example, the community managers’ flair will read “Wingjoy – Community Manager”.

Limits of the Dev’s Support

This subreddit is not created nor owned nor run by the Wingjoy dev team. It belongs to and is run by you, gamers, players, redditors, us.

So, there will be limits or boundaries set between us (or the community) and the dev team.

  1. This community is not for customer service. If you have issues you want the dev team to deal with (preferably in a timely manner), such as encountering bugs, not receiving items you’ve just paid for or reporting some guy who insulted you, you need to use the in-game Customer Service function. Simply put, if you have a problem with the game, find GMs, and help keeping their jobs.
  2. Again: The dev employees won't be the community’s Moderators. In order to maintain the neutrality and independence of this community, our Moderator team will be composed entirely of gamers. Any issues with the community’s moderating, please take it up to the mods via Modmail.
  3. Do not bomb the devs with PMs. No PMs will be replied. They are human beings who just need a job. They have lives. They have promised to listen, and we trust that they will. They will do their job to their best at work. If they reply us with their own time, it only shows how much they love the community, but it doesn’t mean that we can bother them any time we want. Again, if you have a problem you want to be solved, directly contact in-game customer service.
  4. Any dev replied post itself will not be branded “officially recognized”.

Many Thanks to You

  • Thank you u/Tauzlol for helping me create this community.
  • Thank you u/D0cR3d and u/try_to_guess_my_psn for setting up the “Dev Replied Bot”. When they learned that I’m not familiar with all the technical stuff, they offered to do everything for me. If you'd like this bot’s functionality for yourself, please ask the r/Layer7 devs. They have other great functions like spam fighting, too. And if you can, please donate, so that they can maintain their server and continue to help more redditors.
