642 [Head to Head]
In popular Internet parlance at this time, Chen Chu is a PLMM. She has been online since junior high school and has been online for five years, but she has not played a major online game yet.
In the second year of junior high school, my father brought home a second-hand 486 computer, saying that his colleagues in the unit were going abroad, and he handled it at an ultra-low price of 500 yuan. Chen Chu first learned to send emails, and then learned to soak in chat rooms, but unfortunately the Internet fee is too expensive, and she only dares to secretly surf the Internet for 10 minutes a day.
When he was in high school, Chen Chu began to get in touch with QQ, and later became obsessed with Renren.
Not long ago, a two-and-a-half-year-long online dating ended because of the public beta of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Chen Chu came home from winter vacation in his freshman year, and he wanted to chat with his online boyfriend about QQ every day, but it turned out that the other party always took a long time to reply to the message, and it turned out that the guy was addicted to games and didn't even bother to pay attention to his "girlfriend".
Chen Chu wanted to see what her "rival in love" looked like, so she searched and logged in to the official website of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and clicked to download and install the game. The result is tragic, her old computer configuration is too low, let alone entering the game, and even installing the game is stuck.
Both parents were at work during the day, and Chen Chu quietly slipped into their bedroom and used the number of his own telephone landline to successfully crack the computer boot code. This computer was newly bought by my father last year, and it cost more than 6,000 oceans, and I am not usually willing to use it.
According to the instructions on the official website, Chen Chu successfully installed and entered the game. She doesn't know anything, she can't form a team, she can't rob monsters, she just runs all over the ground, and she only knows that she can take on tasks after playing for most of the day, and every ten minutes or so she has to be beaten into a soul state by monsters, and she runs to pick up corpses and continue to play.
A few days later, Chen Chu was killing "Congcong" in the Oak Mountain. It was a beast that looked like a dog, but it had six legs and ran ugly and ugly.
Suddenly, Chen heard a deer roar. She shifted her perspective to look over, only to see a female player riding a nine-colored deer, running towards this side in a heroic manner, with the ID called "Beanie Woman Kills the Quartet".
"You killed the monster, can I skin it? I'm going to practice skinning skills and do hides collection tasks. Doudou asked.
"Yes," Chen asked stupidly, "can this game still be skinned, and what is the use of animal skins?"
"Hides can be used to make equipment. ”
"Oh. Chen Chu typed out a word.
"Team up. Doudou said.
Chen asked, "How do you form a team?"
Doudou said, "I'll come to the group, you accept it." ”
After the two teamed up, Doudou initiated another transaction: "Give you a gold bar, and the monster skin you killed will belong to me." You're in charge of killing the beasts on this side, and I'm killing the beasts on the other side of the river, which is more efficient. ”
"You're so rich! I've been playing games for days, and now I only have a dozen silver ingots. Chen Chu was shocked.
Beanie: "......"
Chen immediately canceled the transaction and said, "Don't give me money, I don't know how to peel the skin anyway." ”
"Okay. Doudou jumped down from the nine-colored deer, peeled all the monsters that Chen had killed, and then ran to the other side of the river to kill the monsters. The monster over there was slaughtered by her, and soon ran back to peel the corpse here, and then found that Chen Chu had been killed by the monster.
Waiting for Chen to come back from running away from the corpse, seeing that she was beaten by wild monsters and bleeding straight away, Doudou couldn't help but ask, "Are you out of equipment durability?"
"Oops, I said how these monsters suddenly got stronger. Chen said in surprise.
At this time, it was close to the Spring Festival, and Doudou's gang of followers licked the dogs, but none of them were online today. Anyway, she was bored, she felt that this new person was very interesting, so she asked, "Are you male or female?"
"Girl. Chen said.
Doudou teased: "Call me big sister, I'll take you to level up." ”
"Big sister. Chen Chu typed immediately.
Doudou's level is 20 levels higher than Chen's, and she saw that this budding newcomer just met the conditions for entering a low-level dungeon, so she took the other party to brush the level 15 dungeon.
"Wow, I've never been to this place. Chen Chu said in surprise.
Doudou admonished, "Don't stay too far away from me, be careful of being killed by the dungeon monsters." ”
Chen Chu immediately turned into a little follower, and seeing that it seemed easy for Doudou to chop melons and vegetables, he also tried to run to fight the copy monster, but he lost blood like crazy while fighting.
Doudou easily solved the monster, and couldn't help but complain: "This monster is the same level as you, and your equipment is too bad." ”
"Oooh. Chen typed with a smile.
Doudou quickly killed the dungeon mini-boss, Chen picked up the farts and touched the corpse, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God, two pieces of blue equipment, one for each of us." ”
"I'll give it all to you, it's useless for me to take it. Doudou said.
"Thank you, big sister," Chen Chu went crazy with joy and typed, "I've been playing for days, and I've only seen four blue gears. One of them is a task reward, and the other three are all from junglers, and all of them are from other classes, so I can't wear them at all. ”
Doudou said: "These equipment are all scum, and the main purpose of playing a copy is to help you upgrade." ”
"Oooh. Chen picked up two words casually, and then moved the mouse to the blue suit and looked at it again, like a child who loves candy.
"Wow, there's another piece of blue gear!"
"Wow, this monster has exploded a lot of money!"
"Wow, this weird thing is so strong, it almost killed me in one hit. ”
"Wow, this big boss has exploded purple equipment, and there is a lot of money!"
"Big sister, can we play another dungeon? I can't wear the purple costume that the boss burst out. ”
“……”
In this way, Chen Chu was taken by Doudou to brush the copy for an afternoon, and he didn't give up until he brushed out the purple outfit. This newcomer seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, she takes off her high-level blue outfit and puts on a level 5 or 8 garbage purple outfit, and she has to turn herself into a purple to be happy.
"I'm going offline. Doudou said suddenly.
Chen Chu hurriedly typed: "Thank you, big sister, goodbye, big sister!"
"Will it continue tomorrow?" asked Doudou.
"Well," Chen asked, "has the eldest sister already joined the work?"
Doudou asked rhetorically, "What about you?"
"I'm still in my freshman year. ”
Doudou began to run the train with his mouth full: "I'm 30 years old and I'm a software engineer. ”
"Wow, that's amazing!" Chen Chu admired infinitely.
Doudou flickered: "Little sister, don't play games anymore, you still have to read more books and study." When you join the job in the future, you will know that the learning opportunities in the university are not easy to come by, and this is the advice that one of my people has given you. ”
Chen Chu immediately said, "Well, I will study hard." ”
After chatting for a while, estimating that it was time for his parents to get off work, Chen Chu hurriedly quit the game and went to the kitchen to wash rice and cook. She hummed a song when she was washing rice, and she was in a very happy mood, this game made her discover a new world, but it was much more interesting than chatting about QQ before, and there was an enthusiastic big sister in the game.
"Hahaha!"
Doudou sat in front of the computer and laughed happily, flickering and sprouting is so interesting.
Landing on the "Official Forum of the Classic of Mountains and Seas", Doudou began to brush posts. Most of the ones that are pushed up belong to technical stickers, but the first one is an emotional sticker.
The landlord said in the post that the game made him feel warm. He met a high-level player a few days ago, because he helped that player collect feathers, and gradually became friends, and the other party took him to level up and run tasks for two all-nighters, and also pulled him into the gang. Yesterday, he came to the PVP map alone, and was killed many times by a Jin player, and he shouted in the gang channel, which directly caused the two gangs to have a hundred people PK.
"I'm only a level 30 newbie, and I've only known two or three people in the gang, and I haven't even played with them in a team quest. But I only said that I was guarded by someone, and those brothers and sisters in the gang, as long as they were online, all came to help, and even delayed the opening of the gang. Later, I apologized to everyone, but everyone comforted me, saying that the group could be opened at any time, and that the gang members had to stand up and help if they were bullied. Since I was a child, I have been a very ordinary person, ordinary family, ordinary school, ordinary grades, ordinary work, I have never been taken seriously, as if I am a dispensable air, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" gave me a strong sense of existence for the first time......"
There are many replies to this post, most of which are talking about their own touching experiences, completely immersed in the atmosphere of "the world has its own true feelings".
Another spit post was also held high:
"The game is good, but I can't afford to play it!"
"On the day of the open beta, I went to the Internet café with my friends, and it was already full. Gone are the days when the entire Internet café collectively played "Legend", and most of the computers are waiting to play "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". The promotion of this game is so powerful, no matter what game I played before, I want to come in and experience it. I signed up with my friend and was very embarrassed because I still had to queue up, and it was the first time I encountered a game that had to queue up to play. ”
"It took more than 40 minutes to queue up, and more than 10 minutes to read the game reading note, and I burned out an hour's Internet bill. ”
"Finally entered the game, the spawn point is densely packed with people, walking card by card, the game experience is super poor! I thought it was too hard to play the game, and I was unhappy at first, but suddenly I dropped and had to queue up again when I logged in again. ”
"This is my experience of playing "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", queuing for an hour, fighting monsters for five minutes, stuck, disconnected, logged in, and an infinite loop. ”
There are also a lot of replies to this post, with ridicule, approval, and watering.
"Haha, the Internet café that the landlord went to is too bad, and it is estimated that he still uses 512 broadband. ”
"It's really bad for this game machine, especially the graphics card. In an Internet café over there, because of the game "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the boss has been upgrading the computer in an all-round way. ”
"The game reads for more than 10 minutes? Your Internet café machine is 486, and my computer reads the strip in more than 10 seconds. ”
“……”
On the day the public beta of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" began, 300,000 people were online at the same time. Such a hot scene made Excalibur Network have to open more servers, but it still can't satisfy those enthusiastic players - the server can't be added too much casually, it has nothing to do with money, and it involves game operation issues.
On the second day of the open beta, the number of people online at the same time dropped wildly, until it fell below 200,000.
Excalibur Network Company urgently sent people to investigate, and it turned out that the configuration of the Internet café could not keep up. Either the internet connection is too slow, or the computer is too poor, and many players can't stand the lag and disconnection, so they get angry and go to other games.
But with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the number of people online at the same time plummeted, and it has been growing steadily every day.
About half a month later, seeing that the Chinese New Year is about to begin, the number of simultaneous online users of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" suddenly soared to 500,000! On the one hand, it was the impact of the Spring Festival holiday, and on the other hand, many Internet cafes had completed equipment upgrades, and the combination of the two factors caused the game to be extremely popular.
The industry is shocked!
It's been less than 20 days since the Nima public beta was released, and the highest number of people online at the same time actually exceeded 500,000.
The employees in Jiucheng worked overtime, and finally announced that "World of Warcraft" had started a limited deletion test before the Spring Festival. As a result, countless players who were appetized by the beautiful painting style of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" were defeated when creating characters, and the characters in it were too ugly!
Sometimes European and American game companies are also weird and funny, and the game content is so exciting, why do you want to make the game characters so ugly?
European and American players don't care about the character image?
When "League of Legends" was first launched, the characters in it were also ugly. In order to cater to the domestic market, Tencent made a beautiful set of hero skins by itself, and as a result, this set of skins was well received in Europe and the United States, and the number of downloads increased exponentially. Seeing this, Riot simply changed the Tencent skin to the official skin, and then began to recruit a large number of Asian artists.
In the original time and space, there is no similar game to grab the market. And now, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has a first-mover advantage and a local cultural advantage, which attracts most passers-by and players.
Many of those who are still unswervingly playing "World of Warcraft" are old Blizzard fans. On the second day of the service, the number of online users of "World of Warcraft" fell by 30%, and these were all experienced by running, and after the experience, they went back to continue playing "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
And because the preparation time is too short, the Chinese technical team of "World of Warcraft" has not completely eaten the game, and all kinds of messy small problems continue to appear - the original time and space, "World of Warcraft" only started public beta in China in April, and officially operated in June. Now the preliminary preparation time has been postponed by half a year, but the public beta time has been advanced by two months, which is equivalent to shortening the preparation time by at least eight months, so it's no wonder that there is no problem!
But Mr. Zhu really can't help it, because "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is too popular. If you continue to drag it down and wait until "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" completely gains a foothold, then "World of Warcraft" can only follow behind and eat fart.
Although it was seized by "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", although it has many small problems, "Warcraft" has cultivated too many hardcore fans in China, and Blizzard's market background is far deeper than that of Excalibur Network. "World of Warcraft" itself is such a game, which makes these hardcore Blizzard fans deeply obsessed, so they bring their friends to play.
Two games of the same type, in this way, the number of players continues to increase, and players on both sides begin to become incompatible, often building thousands of buildings in post bars and forums to fight each other.
At this time, "World of Warcraft" was sweeping the world, and in the relatively large online game market, only China and South Korea successfully resisted the invasion of Warcraft.
South Korea has "Lineage 2" and China has "Classic of Mountains and Seas", both of which are in their respective countries, and they have steadily suppressed "World of Warcraft".
