The sub Reddit is just a way of providing extra coverage as many people already use Reddit and might be more comfortable conversing on a familiar platform than coming to a brand new community. Many huge companies like Blizzard or Jagex use Reddit alongside their forums so there isn't a reason why we shouldn't use it. If you don't like it don't use it. If you like Reddit and would enjoy posting on our sub - happy days.
Or better yet, come use the one made by the guy who actually thought to do it in the first place, instead of supporting thieves. https://www.reddit.com/r/9dragonsawakens/
I'm just pointing out that there is no point making a subreddit for this game. This game's community is too small and all it will do is split the community having 2 different places to discuss the game. Its best to support the publisher RedFox and keep interaction here. New players that have never played 9dragons before will simply google the game and find this site anyway.
