Chapter 1230: Phantom Island (Part 1)

...

Later that night, Shin did not go to bed and instead got inside his gaming cabin. The scheduled maintenance of the game had already ended last night, so it was reopened once again.

Shin knew that the gaming company was doing this random and scheduled maintenance every month or week to make sure that the players would not suffer from VRD (Virtual Reality Disorder), where they confused the game with reality.

The consequences of this mental disorder were heavy since it could even cause someone to commit serious crimes. Theft was one of the mildest among cases, but it could become more serious such as assault. Worse, it could even lead to murder.

This was the reason why the gaming company implemented this rule of having such maintenance aside from the huge updates and required patches.
