Volume II, The Green Years 290, The Beginning of the Legendary Myth 2
In the previous life, the game addiction prevention began in 2004 when the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a document, and it was not until 2007 that it was gradually rolled out.
Yi Shaofeng is not a moral saint, and he doesn't want to be such a person, otherwise he won't touch the game, but he has heard too many things about playing games and working to death.
This time, the online public beta time they determined was 00:00 tomorrow morning, so in the afternoon, Rebus arranged for some personnel to take a break, and he also sat in Rebus's office to recuperate.
He has been thinking about a question since he got up this morning, and the seemingly legendary publicity is in place, and he is not very worried about the number of registrants, but he still has no bottom in his heart about how much he will be retained after the real fee.
He wondered if it would be like the future generations, to come up with a wave of operations, so that players could use the game as a tool to make money.
Thinking about it, he thought of a post he had seen in his previous life.
The content of the post probably says that at the peak of the legend, a game equipment can change suites in the capital.
Why not use the method of item recycling?
He called Rebus.
"What's the rarest piece of equipment in the game?"
Rebus was stunned, but he thought in his heart, the boss is a young man after all, will he want a set of top clothes to pretend to be forced.
Thinking in his heart, he replied honestly:
"It's supposed to be the Battle of Judgment and the Dragon Slayer. ”
"What is the chance of dropping?"
"It's almost one in 100,000. ”
He made a silent calculation in his heart and said:
"Shrink the scale a little bit, to 1 in 50,000. ”
"And then?"
When Rebus heard this, he probably understood that the boss was talking about business.
"Whoever blows up these equipment, we will spend money to recycle it. ”
"How much?"
"How much does a house cost in Guangdong right now? ”
Rebus was taken aback, this is too bold, it's the first time he's heard that the official recycling of virtual props in the game is done.
But on second thought, this will stimulate the birth of more professional gamers, but it will be of great help to the future development of the legend, and can effectively extend the life cycle of the game.
The life cycle of the game is very short, most games only have a life span of one to two years, some shorter ones only have a cycle of a few months, and even if there are long ones, it will not exceed five years, except for some emotional games, but this part of the game is also limited to survival.
"When does it start?"
"It will be promoted from the launch, and during the open beta period, at least one piece of superb equipment will be exposed. ”
His idea was simple, to use the gimmick of recycling items during the open beta period to promote the legend as much as possible.
After arranging these things, he can only resign himself to fate.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to the legend is because technology and the Internet are the focus of his next development.
The upfront investment in these two areas is extremely large, and without a steady stream of financial support, it will not be able to operate at all.
Dinner was solved in the cafeteria, I don't know if Rebus said hello, anyway, the food in the canteen was very good.
He didn't go to the operations department to watch it live, but waited in the office for news.
"At the same time, the number of registrations was 76,239, which is a very good start. ”
Rebus reported to him the real-time data on the phone, which was the number of bettors who had just arrived at 0:00 and had been betting for two minutes.
At present, the game does not have real-name authentication, so the registration is much simpler, and the registration can be completed in about two or three minutes after playing the game.
He thought that as long as the data on the first day exceeded 1 million, it would be good.
"The total number of registered people reached 310,000, and the number of simultaneous online users reached 170,000, and the retention rate was very high. ”
At 1 a.m., Rebus gave him a second report.
He could feel the tension and joy of the operations department from the earpiece.
Nervous because they were afraid that something would go wrong on the first day they went online, and the joy was of course because they succeeded.
Their expectations are much lower than Yi Shaofeng, they think that the number of registrations exceeds 2 million, and the number of online users is 100,000 at the same time, even if it is a big fire, even if it is successful.
Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the face in just an hour, and it can only be said that they haven't realized how crazy a real, popular online game can be.
Of course, the retention is so high, which is also beyond his expectations, and he can only sigh at the extreme desire of netizens for entertainment at present.
He didn't wait any longer, sent a message to Rebus, and he returned to Rebus's quarters.
He has a habit that when something is in preparation, as long as he is worried in his heart, it is difficult for him to sleep well, but as long as it becomes a fact, whether it is good or bad, he will sleep soundly, so tonight compared to last night, although the sleep time is shorter, but the quality is much higher.
"How's the data now?"
When he got up at 7 o'clock in the morning, he called Rebus's mobile phone.
As of now, the number of registrations is 1.21 million, and the peak of online at the same time is 443,000, which will definitely become a hit. ”
When he arrived at the company and saw Rebus, he obviously hadn't slept all night, and although he was in high spirits, the bloodshot in the corners of his eyes was clearly visible.
"Mr. Lei, arrange for the people who were on duty last night to go back to rest. ”
"Everyone is waiting for you, but they have heard that you fulfilled the expected incentives when you went online on JD.com. ”
He slapped his forehead, forgot about the stubble, and thought for a moment and said:
"Just follow JD.com's policy, you go and announce it. ”
He is not familiar with the people here, many people have never even seen each other, unlike Jingdong, because it is going up and down the stairs, although he can't name many people, he is also familiar.
In the past two days, the entire Fengrui people are like celebrating the New Year, and every time the data is reported, cheers will be heard in the office building.
The number of registrations on the first day was 2.11 million, while the online peak reached 443,000.
The number of registrations reached 2.94 million on the second day, while the online peak reached 472,000.
On the third day, because it was a weekend, the number of registrations reached 4.25 million, and the number of online users reached 610,000 at the same time.
The daily data is constantly changing, and another wave of propaganda of the legend has been pulled.
The first is the pop-up window after logging in to the Legend account:
"Dear gamers, from now on, as long as the staff of judgment and the dragon slayer are equipped in the legend, the legend official will open the recycling function from now on, with a maximum recovery amount of 500,000 yuan, please check the new function in the backpack library. ”
Not only the legendary pop-ups, but also the TX pop-ups also informed about the matter.
If it weren't for the traditional print media and TV stations, who are still prejudiced against the game format and dare not publish such advertisements, he really plans to do an overwhelming publicity.
For a while, players were even more enthusiastic, and the current 500,000 could buy nearly three houses in second- and third-tier cities, which could not be said to be tempting.
On the sixth day, the number of registrations directly broke 10 million, reaching a terrifying 11.29 million, while the number of online people almost broke one million at the same time.
"Why don't we start charging early. ”
Rebus was itching to see such terrifying data.
"No, half a month is half a month, and if there is no credibility, then our recycling activities will be unattractive. ”
At this moment, in the Internet café, four college students came to the Internet café early in the morning, and they were afraid that they would not have the opportunity.
Nowadays, Internet cafes are still scarce resources, although the charge reaches an outrageous 3-5 yuan per hour, but the machine is still in short supply, and many people have to wait for two or three hours to wait for a machine.
Today is the weekend, a dormitory for four people, I came to a trip last night but there was no opportunity, so I made an appointment to get up early this morning.
lost the opportunity to be lazy, but looking at the Internet café that was empty for more than half of the people, the four of them showed a reassuring smile.
Now I don't use my real name to go online, so the three of them turned on the machine, and one ran out to buy four bottles of Fengshang Cola.
"What are you playing?"
"I want to have a meeting book, chase one, I don't know if it's updated. ”
"Get out, what are you looking at, quickly register and land in the legend, I don't know that the legend has exploded with top-level equipment, and I can change suites in the capital, I don't know what you think?"
One of them, a young man in his third and seventh quarters, turned on his friend and landed on the phone, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.
"Okay, let's all play today, let's talk about the equipment first, and divide the money equally after selling it. ”
"Damn, of course. ”
At noon, they were afraid that they would not have a chance after going out, so they didn't get up at all, so they directly asked for a bucket of instant noodles each, and they ate while playing.
The first batch of people in China who opened Internet cafes really made money.
Because on the weekend, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there was no empty machine in the Internet café, and there were almost 10 people standing in line at the toll booth at the entrance.
The young man with a head of three or seven points, after landing in the game, began to fight monsters.
Changed several areas, and the fun of the game has made him forget the original intention of exploding equipment.
When he slaughters a monster called the Dark Touch Dragon, he clicks the mouse to pick up the equipment.
At first, he didn't pay attention to what he had picked up, until when he opened the backpack and saw a strange big knife inside, he moved the mouse to it curiously, and there were five big words on the pop-up window: Supreme Dragon Slayer Knife.
When he saw it, he was stunned for a while.
The companion next to him noticed that he had not made a sound for a long time, so he looked at him curiously, and the result was just like him, and he quickly petrified.
After a long time, Sanqifen seemed to wake up, took a sharp breath of air, and said excitedly:
"Holy, Dragon Slayer. ”
As soon as he shouted, the crackling sound of the entire Internet café was silent, and everyone turned in his direction.
After a five-second pause, at about the same time, everyone rushed to the machine he was on.
"Damn, really, where did my brother fight?"
"What's weird?"
"Lend the light, let me see what it looks like. ”
Even the young man at the front desk cashier ran over, and suddenly surrounded him on the third floor and the outer fifth.
Sanfenqi calmed down and was a little scared, after all, there are still many people who want money and don't want to die these days.
"Hurry up and recycle, sell the knife first. ”
The classmate next to him arched him lightly and reminded him kindly.
He immediately clicked on the collection, and after filling in a series of information, a window popped up, which showed that within two weeks, the legendary official personnel would contact him and deliver 500,000 cash to him in person.
It took almost ten minutes for the crowd to disperse, some cursing, some envious, and of course some with crooked thoughts.
The young man next to him who just started talking about reading beckoned to the three of them, and the four of them didn't care about the balance of the machine, they went directly out of the Internet café, and went back to the taxi directly after taking a taxi, so that some impure people had no chance.
