Cheongistan faces short-term crisis

Cheongistan endures a week without Internet due to Prince Colin's favourite game.

Last week, Cheongistan was faced with an abrupt shutdown of online access, with the following days suffering bouts of interruptions in most of the country's Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) connection. It has been traced back to its source, Prince Colin's favourite game: World of Warcraft.

On August 30th, Patch 7.3.0hotfix1 was released, prompting Prince Colin to play the game for an extended period of time. Due to this, the level 99 Paladin accidentally redirected the entire country's worth of routers to his own device, giving him extremely fast connection while the rest of the country suffered for a day.

In an interview with Prince Colin, it is revealed that the avid gamer was completely unaware of the crisis the people suffered. "I did notice that there was absolutely no interruption or lag while I played, but I thought that was because I was a level 99 Paladin," he said.

Prince Colin continued, quoting the World of Warcraft description of Paladins: "The truth and virtue of the light imbues these sacred knights with the power to revitalise their comrades. As a responsible (Level 99) Paladin, I will ensure that connection is not only restored to the residents of Cheongistan but will also be improved. Residents can check the speed of their internet connection next week and expect better results. In the meantime, I strongly recommend residents to play the game."

Prince Colin proceeded to go on about the game for ten more minutes.
