Under the command of Zhou Fangyuan, "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was finally officially launched in May 02.

At the beginning of the launch, all kinds of advertisements have been all over the Internet, and with the status of Yuanfang Group today, it is extremely simple to ask several major portals to help him advertise. Of course, as long as you have money, major websites will not refuse.

Only Wangyi directly rejected the advertising business of Yuanfang Group.

To tell the truth, there is no untiring knot between Yuanfang Group and Wangyi, saying that Zhou Fangyuan snatched Wangyi's game team, but at that time, the two parties were trading fairly, the network housekeeper provided traffic to Wangyi, and Wangyi traded with the game team, the two parties were fair and reasonable, and there was no such thing as who defrauded whom. But as a result, Ding Dada was unhappy after seeing the big sale of "Journey to the West", and even took the initiative to contact Brother Tianqiao and developed "Fantasy Journey to the West" to get back a city.

And what about the realistic result? Now in China, "Big Talk" can be said to have always pressed "Dream", although the marketing volume of "Dream" itself is also quite good, and there is no such thing as who crushes who between the two sides, after all, the painting style of the two games is completely different, one is more realistic, and the other is more cute. But having said that, among today's netizens, male netizens still play more games, and "Fantasy", which is cute and cute, is not as attractive to male players as "Big Talk" after all, which is an indisputable fact.

Yuanfang Group has also sued Wangyi Company in court for the issue of game content before.

There has been no result in this lawsuit so far, and there is no one behind Wangyi, even if they themselves are not reasonable, but first of all, there is no copyright in the theme of Journey to the West, and anyone who wants to use it can use it, so in terms of subject matter, there is no such thing as infringement in Wangyi. At most, it's the way of playing and some props inside, which can be regarded as infringement. But the problem is that among the shareholders behind Wangyi, there are many people who have hands and eyes, even if Wangyi does not have an advantage, but if this lawsuit continues, it will not be easy for Yuanfang Group to win. At the very least, it is impossible to complete the lawsuit in a short period of time, and if it drags on like this, there will be a lot of various expenses.

Of course, big companies don't have to be short of money.

But in the final analysis, the two companies are now in conflict, and Netyi secretly snatched the game that belonged to them, so the copycat has to be justified, and Ding Dada also looks down on Zhou Fangyuan.

In fact, it is not that there is no scolding of the Yuanfang Group on the Internet now, of course, most of them are water armies, and they are all promoted by Wangyi, and there are basically no good words about the several games under the Yuanfang Group on Wangyi, all of which are all kinds of scolding articles, about other industries of the Yuanfang Group, Wangyi is also scolding non-stop. But Zhou Fangyuan is not worried, first of all, this kind of competition is to see whose game is better, the game is good, and then there are players who are scolded, and bad games, even if the whole network is full of praise, in the end, it can't keep players.

And Cao Yan has a Tengxun here, Tengxun now also has its own portal, although it is not as good as the traditional three giants, but it is not far behind, mainly because there are many users on Tengxun's side, and the user stickiness is also high.

Months have passed.

It has been several months since the launch of "Fantasy", and the number of users is about 60% of that of "Big Talk", and the marketing volume is about this number. The emergence of "Fantasy" has invisibly stolen many users of "Big Talk", but fortunately, now the mutual understanding network is constantly developing, the number of domestic personal computers is also rising, and the number of network users is also increasing significantly, so the result is that although "Dream" has been constantly diverting players, the number of players of "Big Talk" is still steadily increasing, and the income is gradually increasing.

This situation made Ding Dada very dissatisfied, but he had no better way, in business, relying on the competition between games, it was impossible for "Big Talk" to be crushed by "Dream", and vice versa.

In other aspects, Ding Lei really doesn't have a very good way to deal with the distant group.

Yuanfang Group is not a little guy now, there are a lot of industries involved, in terms of games, it can be called the largest company in China, in terms of media, it is also growing in fame, in terms of industry, Wangyi does not have a good way, at most it is to release some information that is not conducive to Yuanfang Group, but it can't be said too much, otherwise once it starts to fabricate out of thin air, not only can it not hurt Yuanfang Group, but it may leave a handle on the other party, if it really does this, it is too unwise, after all, Wangyi does not want to really tear up the face of the other party.

From here, you can see how correct Zhou Fangyuan's previous approach was, and how can it be in the catering industry, he has always maintained high standards and strict requirements for the people below, even if the cost rises, at most the price is increased, and the number must not be filled indiscriminately. All kinds of food sold from Yuanfang Group must be absolutely safe, and food safety is greater than heaven. Therefore, so far, there have been no problems in the catering industry of Yuanfang Group, so that Netyi can't find it if he wants to find some trouble.

So much so that Ding Leiding has been angry at the company's internal meetings more than once.

In this case, Yuanfang Group is counting on Wangyi to help promote the game, which is wishful thinking.

Of course, Zhou Fangyuan also understood this, so from the beginning, he didn't plan to ask the other party to help, but the people below wanted to ask, so let them be, Zhou Fangyuan didn't care.

Through more than a month of large-scale promotion, game test videos, game settings, various online activities, etc., as well as game reservations and other means, by the day "Meteor Butterfly Sword" was launched, sales have skyrocketed.

……

In a very ordinary Internet café in Beitong City, two high school students who got out of school walked into the Internet café together.

At this time, the management of Internet cafes was not too strict, although it was said that minors were not allowed to enter, but in fact, few Internet cafes would actually do this.

No ID card or any identification is required, and the two students walked into the Internet café in a school uniform with a schoolbag on their backs. The two machines were turned on, and they chatted while waiting for the computer to turn on.

"Did you know? The new game from Far Away Games is being released today. ”

"Really?"

"Of course, I've been following this game for a long time, and I said it was based on the same name, and I went to see it. ”

"How's it going, isn't it pretty?"

"Well, it's so-so, I didn't think it was interesting to look at it for a while......"

"Huh, can the game be fun?"

"I think the game must be fine, right?,You look at the games that were launched before the distant game is very good.,Journey to the West,Plants vs. Zombies,Warcraft,Interstellar,These games are very fun.,I think this game should be good.,And I also took the time to watch the game test video.,It's the kind of game that uses martial arts to fight around.,I feel very interesting.。 ”

"Well, the computer is on, let's take a look first. ”

The boy said, found the battle.net icon on the desktop, clicked on it, logged in, there are several games on the left column, several games from Blizzard are impressively listed, and several games from distant games are also on it, and at the bottom of the list is the Meteor Butterfly Sword that has just been launched.

With a single click, the right part of the window switches to the content of the game itself.

As early as a month ago, the game's icon and Battle.net window already existed, but when you clicked on it, there were only a few ad pages on the right that flipped back and forth. You can only enter the official website when you click on it, there are no downloads in it, only the appointment page, and there is no other content.

But today has changed, after clicking on the game Battle.net window today, the advertising page on the right is still there, but there is an additional "Update Game" button below.

"I can get in!"

The boy cheered and clicked the button.

The button turned gray, and there was an extra reading bar next to it, and the reading bar flashed a few times, and then quickly changed from gray to red, and then immediately turned green, and the button also changed to enter the game.

The boy couldn't wait to click on it, and the screen immediately turned gray.

Then, the opening CG begins.

In a cloud of mist, a colorful butterfly danced, led by the butterfly, various pictures began to flicker, and various martial arts movements began to appear. The CG of the original space-time meteor butterfly sword is good.,But there are a few bad points.,First of all,The sense of realism is not strong enough.,Secondly,The picture is relatively blurry.,But considering the technical conditions at the time and the level of capital of the development company.,It's good to be able to make it look like this.。 Now that Zhou Fangyuan has taken over, he specially transferred the CG personnel from Blizzard, and now this new CG is no different from the original in the script, but the picture is more exquisite, and the realism of the characters is stronger.

Two teenagers sat in front of the computer and watched fascinated.,Previous domestic games,How many of them have such exquisite CG?Even if there is CG,It's all shoddy products,The CG of "Meteor Butterfly Sword",In terms of today's domestic game industry,It can be said to be the only one。

The CG ends quickly, and the two teenagers can't wait to start the game.

Needless to say, they started with the single-player mode, watching the tutorial, the two teenagers began to try to control the character to fight, occasionally exclaiming, their eyes did not turn, and they had a lot of fun.

And they are definitely not an isolated phenomenon, in fact, in such a small Internet café, there are many players sitting in the same action.

It's just that for ordinary players, the difficulty of the single-player mode is still a bit high, most people can't even pass the third level, and many people are reluctant to try again after trying a few times, they start to try the LAN mode.

The same is true for the teenager, click on the LAN mode, there are already several rooms inside, they find a person with a large number of people to enter, and it has become a pot of porridge.

The teenagers chose their favorite characters...... Needless to say, all of them are Meng Xingsoul, and the other people in the room also chose Meng Xingsoul, after all, who let Meng Xingsoul play the main role in the plot?

As a result, several Meng Xingsouls held different weapons, and they were very happy to fight in a small map.

"Wow, this long sword's big move is so handsome!"

"Look at this, look at this, this is the sledgehammer's big move, give it to me-" The boy shouted, and then the moment the sledgehammer landed, he also shouted "Die", his expression was indescribably fanatical.

In addition, the ultimate move of the big knife, the big move of the dagger, and the ultimate move of the spear, they also tried it again, and some people were lucky enough to use the second stage of the big move, and the more handsome big move made the two teenagers, as well as the other players in the Internet café, exclaim.

Some people came in the room for a while, and some people quit for a while, and the two teenagers played for about half an hour before they quit, and they walked around in the network mode.

There is not much difference between the network mode and the LAN mode, it is basically the same, but the players in the battle have become users of the whole network, and the number of rooms is even more explosive, and the two teenagers have turned around, and what they can see, there are at least a thousand rooms, most of which are full, that is to say, they have thousands of players on this server, and there are at least dozens of the same server. As for why the game is divided into so many servers, the reason is very simple, limited by the server level and network bandwidth at this time, once a large number of players are concentrated in the same server, the server will become extremely stuck, which will seriously affect the player's game experience.

Moreover, the domestic network itself is divided into several different lines, and cross-line games will also produce a lot of latency, so in order to ensure that most players can have a good gaming experience, game companies also have to open a large number of servers to allow players to be diverted.

Of course, in the final analysis, there are too many domestic players.

This situation could not be solved until Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, even if optical fiber had been fully popularized at that time, the game still had to open one server after another.

If you don't divide the server, most of them are games like Hearthstone, and the requirements for data transmission are not as high as those of general online games, and games like Hearthstone, even if the server is quietly divided in private, players will not know. After all, this kind of game doesn't have an intuitive picture, and you don't need to refresh various resources and mobs like an open world, etc., etc., so there is no difference whether there is a division of servers or not.

But in general online games, the division of servers is very necessary.

"Meteor Butterfly Sword" is currently divided into thirty-five servers, but even so, the server host has begun to become stuck.

"It's up! It's up!"

In the distance at the game headquarters, cheers came and went.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at the forehead number on the big screen, and also smiled, Sun Jing beside him looked at him with adoring eyes, she knew that this game was promoted by Zhou Fangyuan.

On the big screen, a big number flashed at this time - "500000"!

In other words, on the first day of the server, the number of players has reached as many as 500,000, with an average of more than 10,000 per server.

And this is just another small step on the road to success for distant games.

Zhou Fangyuan looked at the big red number, his heart was not very excited, he was very calm, because he knew that the potential of this game was great, and it was not just the level of the previous life.
