"What the hell! What is this ......?"

Ryoko stared at the computer screen dumbfounded, and it was the World of Warcraft login screen, but there was a pop-up prompt.

"Dear players, you are currently queuing up to log in, there are 10934 players in front of you, and the estimated waiting time is 2:43:44. ”

Ryoko is a freshman in high school this year, and he knows every word on this prompt, but when combined together, he didn't understand it after reading it twice.

Why do you have to queue up to log in to play a game?

Why are there more than 10,000 players in front of you?

What is the estimated waiting time of 2 hours and 40 minutes......?

He hadn't played online games when the legend was at its hottest, so he hadn't experienced queuing up to log in to the server, thinking that this World of Warcraft was the same as a single-player game, and he could play it whenever he wanted.

However, he didn't choose the server behind according to the prompts, because he had already made an appointment with his classmates, and everyone had to enter a district and a server, and then everyone would have to be in a guild and farm monsters together.

If you go to another server by yourself and don't have an acquaintance to take care of you, wouldn't you be bullied......

I scratched my head for a long time, and I didn't know what to do, so I called my good friend and asked him what was going on.

As a result, his good friend was also queuing, but it was a little faster than him, and he only had to wait for more than an hour to get in.

The two discussed it for a while and decided to continue to wait, even if they didn't play for a while today, they would go to one district and one service.

Because basically any online game, one district and one server have always been the most lively, with the most people, even if the game doesn't work in the future, other servers have become ghost servers, but one district and one server are still relatively lively under normal circumstances.

There was really nothing to do, so Ryoko boredly clicked on the Facebook game platform and browsed through the World of Warcraft interface in the game store.

Among them, there are World of Warcraft game point cards for sale, which are divided into time-based billing and monthly monthly cards.

Ryoko bought a monthly card, although sixty yuan a month is quite expensive, but this is not the Spring Festival, and I still have some pocket money in my hand.

In addition, on the official website of World of Warcraft, there are several handsome mounts released, and Ryoko has taken a fancy to a white tiger.

Thinking that he would be able to ride a handsome and mighty white tiger around in the wild in the future, Ryoko was itching in his heart, but unfortunately the mount could only be purchased in the in-game store.

It's just that the price of this white tiger is a bit expensive, and Liangzi hasn't made up his mind whether to buy it yet, because it costs sixty-eight!

It's more expensive than a month's monthly card, and it's the most expensive of all mounts at the moment.

And it doesn't add any combat power, it just allows your character to move 50% faster.

But those cheap, even free, mounts are also this speed bonus......

Ryoko thought a little dissatisfied, but there was no way, after all, this thing can be bought or not, and it will not affect the balance of the game, so it can only be said that it is for the rich.

............

"All 1 to 12 servers in the north and south of China Telecom are full, and it is estimated that in another ten minutes, 20 servers will not be able to withstand it. The Netcom area is better, boss, are we going to open the second telecom area today?"

At this time, the operation department of Facebook Games Company was also busy, and everyone was staying at their posts, monitoring the situation on the server and in the game.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the director of the operations department rubbed his chin, he didn't expect World of Warcraft to be so popular, and the full servers meant that the number of registrations on each server had reached thirty thousand.

In other words, just the 40 servers in the southern region 1 and the northern 1 region of China Telecom, the number of registered people at this time has exceeded one million!

This...... It's crazy!

Even if the legend was so popular in the first two years, the peak number of simultaneous online users did not seem to exceed one million, although the number of registered users of that game was as high as 200 million......

But the number of registered users and the number of people online at the same time are two different things.

On the first day of the server, World of Warcraft will not break the online record of domestic online games at the same time!

For now, it's promising.

According to the technical settings, the maximum number of people who can be online at the same time on each server is 10,000, but the number of registrations is not 10,000.

In the early stages, when players are just starting to play and have been online for a long time, they may allow 50,000 or 100,000 players to register on the same server.

By staggering the game time, etc., it can also give everyone a better game experience, and it can also save servers.

In the middle and late stages, if the number of people who quit the game is relatively large, then continue to open up server registration, and allow 200,000 or more people to register on the same server.

It's all a trick that game companies use.

But Facebook Games naturally doesn't need this, and because it has confidence in the game World of Warcraft and believes that the retention rate of players will be relatively high, the upper limit of the number of registrations on each server is only 30,000.

This is all important, because players can't be online 24 hours a day, so the maximum number of registrations must be higher than the number of simultaneous online users, which can improve the utilization of the server.

Saving servers is secondary, and more importantly, the more people on the server, the more lively it will be, and the more players will enjoy it.

After all, people are group animals, and if you are given a suit by one person, you may not want to play.

Assuming that everyone is online for eight hours a day, some players have time to play in the morning, some have free time in the afternoon, and some prefer to stay up all night in an internet café at night, so that after staggering the time, the server can basically keep it full most of the time.

These things were actually told to Yu Wenfei by Effie, and he was not very proficient in them.

In addition, Yu Wenfei didn't care about this, he just wanted to experience the shocking and novel feeling when he first came into contact with World of Warcraft.

Of course, I also hope to meet the former Ah Jiu, but I have a wish.

............

"Is the boss still playing games in the office?"

"yes, didn't we all bring in lunch for lunch?"

"Is that monster so fun? Even the boss is so obsessed. ”

"Who knows, maybe men like to play games, I looked at it, and I didn't think it was fun. A bunch of strangely shaped characters, chopping around there, I really don't understand what it means. ”

"Shhhh ”

In the secretary's room outside Yu Wenfei's office, several secretaries are whispering there, it's five o'clock in the afternoon, and Yu Wenfei has really played from ten o'clock in the morning to now and hasn't left the office today.

Of course, all appointments were pushed down because the boss had instructions not to look for him if there was no emergency.

While chatting, I heard the office door open and Yuwen Fei walked out.

"Boss, are you going out?" Hu Jingjing hurriedly stood up and asked.

"Hey, get out. By the way, Jingjing, you can accompany me to dinner. Yu Wenfei sighed.

He wasn't in a very good mood.

I played the game for a day today, but I don't feel like I used to feel anymore, although World of Warcraft is still the taste of memory, but it is impossible for him to indulge in it.

That's nothing, more importantly, he did join the guild he once had.

But......

In that guild, he didn't see the familiar name he wanted to see!

After playing for a day, I didn't see Ah Jiu......
