Liu Yun looked at Lin Shiya, smiled slightly, and said, "Looking at Director Lin's tone, it seems that he was moved by those players?"

Lin Shiya stroked her hair and said seriously: "I think those players are the company's food and clothing parents after all, and we must listen to their opinions." ”

Liu Yun nodded and said: "It's right that I am the parent of food and clothing, reasonable advice should be listened to, but after all, it is still me who is the main thing." ”

He looked at Lin Shiya's somewhat puzzled expression, and continued: "Why do those players want 'Zhu Xian' to take point card fees, have you thought about it?

Although these game development staff have played a lot of games, they have at most experienced and learned, and have never experienced a virtual game process from the perspective of point cards or props.

But Liu Yun has experienced this and understands the difference and strangeness.

Lin Shiya is not stupid, Liu Yun lightly, she understood the approximate: "Those players who shout for point card charges, they want to spend less money, and then rush into the spire of the pyramid, just like those high-end players of Warcraft." ”

Liu Yun agreed, and said: "In Warcraft, there are many high-end players who spend very little money, maybe only use about 3 point cards to reach the full level, and in the next few days, there is almost no need to spend money, and they directly use the gold coins in the game to buy point cards." ”

"This is one thing, and the second is that if you have money for Warcraft, you may not be able to play it well. In this game, there is no shortage of wealthy players who buy a large amount of gold coins and then spend them as big bosses. In this team, there will be a lot of top players working for you together. ”

Lin Shiya was a little puzzled: "According to the boss's meaning, even among Warcraft, rich players are still uncles." ”

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "Wrong, rich players have an advantage, but they are by no means uncles." First of all, the equipment suppression of this game is not very strong. Second, being able to work for the boss as a thug, these players are not lazy with their own equipment. In a guild, as long as a team's equipment is saturated, they will consider working for an outsider to make money. So even if this boss has money, he can only stoop behind these people. ”

"RMB players have never been the first tier in Warcraft, which is the difference from domestic online games. ”

Lin Shiya asked again: "Mr. Liu, can't Zhu Xian be positioned like this?"

Liu Yun replied: "Of course not, because in terms of the quality of the game, the gap between Zhuxian and Warcraft is still very large. is the same 3D game, if it is a point card charge, players will inevitably not compare the two games, which will invisibly increase the expectation of Zhu Xian. ”

"As for games with prop fees, expectations will be lower and reputation will be worse, but the economic benefits are often the opposite. Because players who are willing to spend money, and players who like to be free, rarely comment, those players who are really clamoring for point card fees are just a small group of people with ulterior motives, and they don't care about it at all. ”

Lin Shiya heard the boss say "a handful of people with ulterior motives", and her face couldn't help but show a look of helplessness, this is not a sentence often mentioned by those official media, but it was used by him vividly.

Liu Yun in the previous life was also one of the small groups of people with ulterior motives, and everyone thought the same way. It is unknown how long those who shout for a point card charge will be able to hold out.

Now, I run the game myself, my role has changed, and my mentality has changed.

He remembered a ready-made example that was very convincing. In the previous life, there were two popular martial arts online games, namely "Dragon Babu" and "Sword Network 3".

In terms of game quality, picture sense, and playability, "Sword Network 3" is far superior to "Dragon Babu", and it can even be said that this is not a grade at all, and even a game that is several grades worse. On the eve of the launch of "Sword Net 3", many players have compared this game to Warcraft.

In the beginning, players were calling for both games to adopt a point card model, and never be free. Kingsoft listened to the opinions of players, and the scheming Sohu went its own way and still used the point card model.

Perhaps in terms of word-of-mouth, "Sword Network 3" is higher than "Dragon Babu", but in terms of economic benefits, it is far inferior to Dragon Babu.

At that time, Liu Yun felt that if "Dragon Babu" also adopted the model of point card charging, not to mention whether it could become the most profitable domestic online game after fantasy, it was unknown whether it could maintain profitability.

Point cards or props, the same game, two words ago, you may face two different user groups.

"I see, after a while, I'll announce that Zhu Xian will also be free-to-play. Lin Shiya nodded and said.

The mind that was already wavering, after the boss clicked a few words, don't extinguish this idea.

"Director Lin, listen to me. As a game company, those players should listen to their opinions, whether it is customer service or the quality of the game's servers, but you can't get used to them and think that everything is right. We must maintain the ability to think independently, and we must not follow the crowd. ”

After determining the charging model of "Zhu Xian", Liu Yun turned around and asked Zhao Xudong, who came with him: "Director Zhao, does the new game have eyebrows?"

Zhao Xudong shook his head and replied: "It's still in the process of being conceived, and there aren't many eyebrows." ”

The success of "Demon Domain" made him complacent, and he began to prepare for the development of new games, but creativity and inspiration never came out of nowhere. He has been clueless, and he is also asking himself if just one "Demon Domain" has exhausted all his talents?

Liu Yun smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, take a look at the good games on the market, watch more and learn more, and learn from what you can learn from." ”

He said it easily, but in fact, he also knew in his heart that he couldn't provide good ideas.

Relying on the prophetic information in his head, Liu Yun can think of popular online games, except for Ding Sanshi's Fantasy Journey to the West, he was abducted and deceived, and even did not hesitate to bid frantically with penguins, and all the games that could be grabbed were robbed, and there should be no new popular online games in a short time.

And the next national game will be LOL, which was launched in 2011, "League of Legends", which is still a no-brainer. As for whether it is the same as Penguin, first buy shares and then acquire, he thinks it is completely feasible.

Liu Yun's heart moved, and told Zhao Xudong: "Director Zhao, I want to test the water point card mode in the next game." You discuss with Director Lin, for the large-scale 3D charging model, you also have to accumulate some experience, even if there are some losses. ”

The two glanced at each other, a little puzzled, but they also took the order.

"One of the games came out, and it was a cash cow with huge profits, which is not good. Whether it is Tencent, NetEase, or Shanda, it has suffered a lot of mistakes, and there are also many failed games, but Yoyo has no mistakes, and all models are popular, so the target is too big and too suspicious. ”

Liu Yun needs one or two, self-developed failed games, to cool down Yoyo, not only for himself, but also to kill the arrogance of these R&D personnel.
