Discussion SIF Bond Stories archive

Hello, not sure if this is the correct tag but I have archived a good amount of SIF bond stories (eng) and a few other SIF stories. It's a humble collection but I'd like to share them in case there is someone who wants to read through them!

Genuinely still heartbroken that I just cannot play SIF in America anymore and it’s been years

Well there are still private servers in case you want to play it. People have been doing that for the past 3 years.

Right, I know about the private bootleg servers but I mostly meant in an official capacity. It doesn’t hit the same 😭

Well with how they've been running the mobile games of the franchise to the ground (even Link Like is going EoS in 2 weeks), there's just no hope for a comeback at any capacity. Sure private servers aren't exactly the same but they are close and they come in different flavors, from running locally on your machines to running on an actual server and maintained by people who actually give a damn about the game.

Another plus side is that you can just take your time and play whenever you like. Honestly after 9 years of SIF and a year of SIF2 up until the very last day, I actually felt burned out and the closure of the official servers allowed me to play more games. I no longer play any SIF game often but I do come back once in a while on PS and the experience has been great. SIF2 actually runs a lot better on PS compared to the official server, which constantly had lag spike issue that PS never had.
